Leak: Korg DX7 Clone? The OPSIX - Page 2

Gtechture · 16th January 2020

What about the covered synth lying down on the floor. Is that the Nautalis ?!

amped · 16th January 2020

Damn, definitely interested in this

Whoa whoa whoa!
those diagrams below the algorithms say:

Operator Mode:
FM, Ring Mod, Wave Folder, Filter FM

Yeah, this is no ordinary DX7 clone.
Now I'm officially excited.

EDIT:
This also means it's not simply the MOD-7 or Volca FM engine in a bigger package. It's something more bizarre.
Hopefully it can do crazy buchla-esque sounds.

Great!

Interesting feedback looping in many of the algos.

ArtFluids · 16th January 2020

Oooh, friends, imagine importing the classic DX7 sysex programs and then setting all the oscillator modes to Ring Mod or Wave Folder or Filter FM. Sounds like a great way to transform some classic patches.

Looks interesting. Korg is going with “shock and awe” this year...

SonicBern · 16th January 2020

The 2020 NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA, countdown by SonicBern - The Band starts to play - 30 minutes later - The Doors open at 10 AM local time, early bird leaks likely before

Approx 16 Hours to go...

SonicBern · 16th January 2020

Go KORG...

ArtFluids · 16th January 2020

My hopes: multi-timbral (at least 8 parts).

Vintage DAC modelling, for all the classic artifacts.
It's more than just DAC though, it also has to do with how the FM chips handled math.

Based on this video, a lot of those old Yamaha FM chips had some interesting artifacts:

Another big hope is the ability to modulate individual operator pitches, with a sequencer like the Wavestate. You'd be able to do some crazy stuff that way.

Korg modeled the DAC for the MOD7. There used to be a video for the Kronos that had the engineers talking about how they had modeled the DAC and that FM8 had not

Six sliders, six knobs, six more knobs...

a wealth of what seem to be patch select buttons. Looks like a decent controller as well as FM synth.

ArtFluids · 16th January 2020

The Filter FM mode has me excited. If it's modeled on analog self-resonating 24-db filter being modulated it would be killer. I love that sound and I always thought it had a different tone than normal oscillator linear or exponential FM. Them differentiating it from typical FM makes me smile.

Korg is on fire this year!

It's like, "Hey little fella, clone THIS."

Strange design choice though, that literally half the panel is dead space. If nothing else, it’ll be good to stack a couple desktop modules on. Hello 80’s again!

I think it might be designed so that the same layout can also be used for a module version. The design reminds me a bit of the Korg DW8000.

It would only have to be the size of a Korg DSS-1.

I think Korg wins this year's NAMM...and they haven't even shown the Nautilus or a new volca yet.

Unless someone has some serious stuff up their sleeve.

prophetpupil · 16th January 2020

If the OpSix has 4 or more timbres then i might consider purchasing it.

Somebodyperson · 16th January 2020

Yamaha and Roland are....

kwaping · 16th January 2020

I feel sorry for anyone who's not Korg trying to sell a synth this year. Especially those just getting established like UDO. Crazy competition.

Yeah sure, but most people's fingers are far too sausage-y for manipulating half a micron long "short-throw" faders!

Cpl. Punishment · 16th January 2020

Korg is trying to sneak an inch in on us. And here all the talk was about the Wavestate and then this beauty shows up -- the Yamaha DX that Yamaha never made. Even the DX brown...

ToyBox · 16th January 2020

Woah, what weird timeline is this. Good times to be alive and synthing.

Soundsauca · 16th January 2020

Wow! This looks impressive! I was sitting here working out whether I have room for a Wavestate, now this pops up!

Always room for one more!

robinkle · 16th January 2020

I'm dying, I need demo's now!
