The FM, Ring Mod and Filter Mod operator modes on the Korg opsix all operate within the framework of "modulator and carrier" - all different flavours of the same basic idea: one operator modulating some parameter of another.
In contrast to this, the Filter and Wavefolder modes work more like processors for the operators sat above them and providing yet another layer of flexibility to the opsix from a sound design perspective.
In this video I introduce these two modes, demonstrate how they work and share some ideas for how they can be used creatively.
