Korg OPSIX-se

An SE Variant Designed for Keyboardists and the Stage

Based on the DNA of the opsix, the Korg opsix SE carries forward the concept of modernized FM with a more comfortable 61-key format and a design more "stage-oriented." The idea is to retain the power of FM synthesis while making it more playable, more expressive (aftertouch), and more immediate to control, suitable for both production and performance.

For Which Musicians and Styles?

The opsix SE targets experienced keyboardists and sound designers who want to go beyond classic FM sounds. It excels at sharp basses, bell and metallic tones, aggressive leads, as well as cinematic and evolving pads. An excellent choice for electro, techno, ambient, synthwave, pop, and soundtrack music, with a workflow adapted to studio, live, and sound experimentation.
