Introduction
ank you for purchasing the Korg
opsix
altered FM synthesizer. To help you get the most out of
your new instrument, please read this manual carefully.
1. Main Features
• e opsix features an FM sound generator that produces complex harmonics by rapidly
modulating the basic waveforms of its oscillators using other oscillators.
• In addition to FM synthesis, the opsix also features various Operator modes such as a ring modu-
lator, wavefolder and so on. e six Operators can be combined to create a wide variety of
sounds.

of each Operator. is is useful for intuitive editing and making dynamic sound changes when
you are performing.
• e opsix includes a rich selection of lters including Polysix and MS-20 models, which covers
the bases for making sounds like those generated with subtractive synthesis.
• ree high-denition multi-eects are available, and you can select from 30 types for each.
• 500 programs (250 preset programs and 250 user programs as the factory-set default) can be
called up and saved in an instant.
