This video, via Soporist, offers an in-depth demonstration of how you can get more organic, ‘analog’ sounds from the Korg Opsix FM synthesizer.
Here’s what they have to say about the video:
“The Opsix is often associated with FM, but its operator architecture can be used in plenty of other ways.
In this patch I’m using it more like a flexible subtractive synth, building up the sound through oscillator choice, tuning, modulation, filtering and effects.”
Topics covered:
00:00 Intro
01:13 Oscillators
04:16 Filter
05:15 Modulation
11:13 Effects
The example patch is available as a free download, compatible with both Korg Opsix hardware and Opsix native, and will be part of the upcoming Soporist sound bank .
This sounds great and gritty, jus the way it should be. Inspirational video for patching my OpSix, cheers!
I never comment, so here we go. I bought an Opsix module recently, having only two soft synths (Synapse Audio Obsession, U-he Zebra Legacy) for the past 5 years, I quite enjoy having a bit of hands-on control from the Opsix. The main thing though is I felt in love with the sound of the ‘Altered FM’ synthesis it provides; massive, glassy, futuristic, distinctive.
This pack seems fine and I might still grab it, unfortunately Soporist didn’t assign any aftertouch to any of the patches.
