Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Korg OpSix. Is this next level frequency modulation synthesizer with its faltered FM synthesis a Yamaha DX7 on steroids or is it just another Korg "OopsSix" with its build quality issues and plasticy enclosure? Is it the best FM synth for beginners???
Thanks to Klangfarbe for helping me out with one of their Korg OpSix floor models:
