Korg opsix module, Altered FM synthesizer for desktop and 19-inch rack

The Korg opsix module is the module version of the opsix mkII, Korg's altered FM synthesizer. It has the same controls and functions as the keyboard version on the keyboard and pitch and modulation controls. The operator mixer, with a volume fader and tuning knob for each operator, makes FM synthesis easy to manage. Colored lights indicate whether you are editing a modulator or a carrier wave.

For each program, you can choose from 40 algorithms or create your own. Additional operator modes include ring modulation, filter, filter FM, and wave folder. It features a multimode filter, three effect blocks, and 80-voice polyphony. The virtual patchbay allows up to 12 routings per program, and the 16-step sequencer handles polyphonic sequences (up to six notes per step) and motion sequences with up to six lanes. It includes a randomize function, support for MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange, and polyphonic aftertouch. You can place it in two corners on your desk or install it in a 19-inch rack using 4 rack units.
