I'm happy I've bought this synth. It's a true dream of all sound designers.

It's ok for the money.

Quite fun for a while, some nice sound but its a bit to small for me. Also a bit to plastic, but ok for the money you pay for it.

Makes creating FM sounds easy.

It does make creating FM sounds easy , but it doesn't stop there, you can make analogue , wave folding , ring mode and filtered sounds as well .

I do like it and is well priced considering the range of control it offers.

A sound designers dream synth

I'm absolutely blown away with the possibilities which the opsix gives you and the excellent interface it offers to allow you to get to them quickly. The hardware has a quality feel, with the notable exception of the keyboard. It's not terrible, but it is a bit plasticky feeling and offers no aftertouch, which is a real shame on a synth which breaths mainly through it's superb modulation options.

Having FM, ring (amplitude) modulation, filter FM and a wave wrapper to choose from - per operator! - a good selection of basic waveforms, three excellent effects with identical options (three shimmer reverbs in series anyone?), (motion) sequencing, tons of modulation destinations and a even a user algorithm makes this one of the best if not the best FM synth out there.

They've recently been discontinued, so if you want one now is the time. In the US they're being dumped for $329, but if there's any justice in the synth world they'll sell out before anyone else can order one.

It's a keeper and I'm thinking future classic.

Very interesting

Many presets, easy editing, clear and characteristic digital sound. It could be 1 octave bigger, a bigger display either, but is like a Korg standard now.
