Korg Introduces the opsix "Altered FM" Synthesizer


Own FM with Korg’s opsix Altered FM Synthesizer

Update: Kraft Musik video added to the playlist below.

The KORG opsix is here. It appears KORG went with the smaller Wavestate-like body. You might remember the full size keyboard teasers from previous posts. That said, details:

"The legendary sound of FM synthesis had graced hundreds of albums, from its introduction in the 80’s to today. Korg’s opsix puts the power of expanded six-operator FM synthesis in your hands, with instant on-panel controls that help you create custom FM sounds with unparalleled ease.

'Altered FM' takes you light years beyond classic FM with 32 voices of polyphony, five modulation types, a user algorithm mode, multiple filter models 1 “logue”-style 16-step note and motion sequencing, effects for days, a 12-point modulation matrix, and much more."

User videos:

Use the player controls at the bottom left of the player once started to skip around. Some are long.
See the dealer links in the playlist below and the banners on the right for availability.

Playlist:
1. KORG opsix Altered FM Synthesizer - First Look! with Tom Butcher of Patchwerks Seattle - video by Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT)
2. KORG OPSIX - All Playing, No Talking - Kraft Music
3. Korg opsix Sound Demo (no talking) - Bonedo Synthesizers

5. Korg OPsix FM synthesizer // Hands-on Easy to Use FM Synth! - BoBeats
6. Korg Opsix Sound Design - Kinda Tutorial - True Cuckoo


"Rethink everything you know about FM synthesis.

The opsix represents a new and expansive reimagination of classic digital synthesis. Much like Korg did when bringing wave sequencing back in a more powerful, more musical, and more immediately accessible way with wavestate, so was the approach to FM sound generation of the opsix, resulting in another incredibly flexible and unique synth.

Yamaha DX7 – Test Drive Of FM Player, KQ Dixie, Dexed, NI FM8, Arturia DX7-V and Korg Volca FM


Published on Jan 16, 2018 Power DX7

"An epic, detailed and accurate test drive of those DX7 emulation apps, VSTs and hardware in 1 video is here!! You will see side-by-side comparison of 6 'DX7 Wanna Be's', compared against Yamaha DX7 MK1 from 1983.

Like understanding true capability and performance of super cars from Ferrari, Porsche and Honda by taking them to a race track and pushing them to their limit, you need to do the same to the DX7 and DX7 Wanna Be's to truely understand their capabilities.

For this epic test drive, I selected a few Power DX7 signature patches that are designed to push FM synthesis further and further. Thus, you will conclusively see how each DX7 Wanna Be is capable of emulating the original DX7 MK1 from over 30 years ago!!!!!

With more than 30 years gaps with some of the DX7 Wanna Be's, has the original DX7 MK1 finally met its match? Are those modern DX7 emulators far better than more than 30 years old DX7 MK1?

We test drive 6 DX7 apps, VSTs and hardware in total.

FM Player - This is a very unique iOS app as it is not a FM synth, but it's DX7 sample player.

KQ Dixie - This is an iOS app that is design to emulate the DX7 MK1 faithfully with additional features, like a filter and effect.

Dexed - This is a free DX7 emulation VST for your Mac and Windows. I have used a new version for this test drive.

Native Instrument FM8 - This is a powerful FM synth VST that can import DX7 patches. It is far more feature rich than Dexed and its a unique FM synth in on its own. For this test drive, my focus is for its DX7 patch compatibility.

Arturia DX7 - V: This is a new VST that claims to have faithfully emulated the DX7 MK1 with added features.

Korg Volca FM - A hardware FM synth that is DX7 compatible. It has built-in sequencer and an effect as well. So, over 30 years in technological advances, can it perfectly emulate the original DX7 MK1 with a wide range of DX7 patches?"

Yamaha Introduces and FM Synth for iOS and New Music Synthesizer MX BK/BU Series


Published on Jul 21, 2016 yamahacorporation

"Great for stage, studio and everywhere in between."

Playlist:
Yamaha Music Synthesizer MX BK/BU Series Official Movie
FM Essential Introduction
iOS Application FM Essential Voice demo

Update: Details via Yamaha (Details on FM Essential here):


"The MX BK/BU series synthesizers feature carefully selected sounds taken from the Yamaha MOTIF XS. That powerful sonic palette is packed into sleek packages (available in 49- and 61-note versions) that fit today’s on-the-go life style. But the MX BK/BU Series aren’t just synthesizers; they are designed to bridge the gap between hardware and software. By adding extensive audio and MIDI USB connectivity, advanced DAW and VST controller features and a suite of powerful music production software, the MX BK/BU integrate hardware reliability with controller flexibility to give you the best of both worlds at a ground breaking level of affordability.

Features:

Over 1000 Sounds from the MOTIF Series – The MX BK/BU series contains more than 1000 Voices derived directly from the Yamaha MOTIF XS music production synthesizer. From realistic acoustic sounds like piano, electric piano, strings and drums to complex 8-element synth sounds, the MX BK/BU puts favorite MOTIF XS Voices at your fingertips. The newly designed category selection makes it easier than ever to find the Voice you need. You can even edit and store your own sounds right onboard.

Class-compliant, “plug and play” USB audio/MIDI – The MX BK/BU series features class-compliant, “plug and play” USB audio/MIDI with iOS, Mac and PC. Just plug it in and your MX BK/BU synthesizer becomes your audio and MIDI interface for the rest of your music studio. Monitor all the sounds from your computer via the headphone output of the MX BK/BU or listen to your DAW tracks by connecting the MX BK/BU to external studio monitors or PA gear. The audio converters on the MX BK/BU are made for professional music applications so everything on your computer — even games — will sound better when using the MX BK/BU as the output. The MX BK/BU interface is bi-directional for digitally recording your MX BK/BU directly to your computer or iOS device resulting in high-quality audio.
Plug and Play, “FM Essential” – “FM Essential” is an FM synthesizer app for iPhone and iPad with real-time synth performance and editing. Connect your iOS device to the Yamaha music synthesizer MX BK/BU, and you can do following:

Play all 271 high-quality Voices consisting of preset sounds from the V50, TX81Z and DX100 Legacy FM PLUS presets and combination Voices specially made for the MX BK/BU series.

Change Voices of FM Essential and control various parameters via the MX BK/BU onboard controllers.
Store your changes

Easy Split /Layer Performance Mode – Performance Mode on the MOTIF has always been the place to find instant inspiration and the MX BK/BU is no different. You can easily combine two Voices to play on the keyboard using the dedicated Split and Layer buttons each with their own intelligent arpeggiator and a dedicated Part for a drum track to create evocative Performances that feel like a whole band is playing. The 128 Performances on the MX BK/BU are all user editable so you can customize them for your style of music.

16-Part Multi Timbral and 128-note Polyphony – In addition to Splits and layers, the MX BK/BU features full 16-Part MIDI for creating entire arrangements using DAW software. This also lets you create live performance sets where you can switch between parts without any sound cutoff.. With 128 notes of polyphony there are plenty of notes to play even the densest sequences from your DAW. These features make the MX BK/BU the perfect tone generator solution for live performance and live playback of DAW MIDI tracks.

Extensive Hands-On Controls for VSTs and DAWs – The MX BK/BU also features solid knobs and durable buttons for controlling internal sounds, DAW parameters and VST instruments. The deceptively simple interface is combined with a remote template editor on your computer so any VST you own or any new VSTs you buy can be easily setup to be controlled by the MX. There are advanced integration templates for use with a variety of DAWs. When used with Cubase, there is even an AI knob so any parameter can be controlled by the large rotary encoder just by mousing over it. It’s never been quicker to take full control of Cubase.

Complete Suite of Music Production Software Included – The MX BK/BU series is the only hardware synth in its price range to come with a complete suite of music production software tools. The included Steinberg Cubase AI features 48 audio tracks and 64 MIDI tracks, notation, built-in VST effects, so with just the MX BK/BU and AI you can do complete productions. But we didn’t stop there; it comes bundled with Steinberg Prologue and the Yamaha YC-3B organ emulator so you have some compelling VSTs to get started. Plus there are Remote Template editors for setting up controls of VSTs.

Cubasis LE – In addition to Cubase AI, the MX BK/BU series is compatible with Cubasis LE, a DAW app for iOS. Connect MX BK/BU to your iOS device (requires Lightning to USB Camera Adapter) and unlock USB audio and MIDI recording between MX BK/BU and Cubasis LE.

Complete Analog and Digital Connectivity – In addition to the USB audio/MIDI port, the MX BK/BU has a USB TO DEVICE port for external data storage to USB flash drive. You can even play back .WAV data from the flash drive. If you want to add a tablet or an MP3 player to your system just connect to the AUX input using a mini stereo cable and you are ready to go.

Lightweight Design with a Quality Keyboard – While almost all other keyboard controllers use inexpensive OEM keyboards, the MX BK/BU series features an expertly crafted keyboard that only Yamaha — the world’s largest keyboard manufacturer — could produce. Weighing only 3.8kg (MX49 BK/BU) or 4.8kg (MX61 BK/BU), either synthesizer can be carried easily with one hand. MX synthesizers have a compact design so they are easy to carry to the gig and also fit easily into today’s compact home music production studios.
VCM Effects – MX BK/BU synthesizers come equipped with VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) effects, which simulate vintage effectors at the circuit level. The sounds of the ‘70s are brought back to life, through simulating the hard-to-find vintage sounds of equalizer, flanger, phaser, and wah effects introduced by the keyboard legends of the era."

MegaOhm Audio

MegaOhm Audio

MS20-style VCF
"Controls
* FREQ - manual cutoff frequency
* RES - Resonance control (sometimes called Emphasis)
* Filter will oscillate once turned past 12 o'clock. FM 1 - level control for FM 1 signal

Controls for the second VCF are a mirror of the first.
Inputs and Outputs
Functions of the second filter's jacks are the same except where noted.

* LP - audio input for Low Pass response of filter
* HP - audio input for High Pass response of filter
* FM 1 - CV input for control of cutoff frequency
* The FM 1 jack for the LEFT VCF is normalled to the FM 1 jack for the RIGHT VCF. Plugging into the RIGHT FM 1 jack will break that connection. FM 2 - CV input for control of cutoff frequency
* RES - CV input for control of Resonance level
* OUT - Final output

Important Notes

First off, does this filter sound like the Korg MS20 VCFs? I don't know! I've never had the opportunity to play one. I have heard sound samples of other clones and have built a few other MS20 clone designs, too. They sound tame compared to these two! Though the others may sound "truer" to the original MS20 VCF sound, I find this circuit much more exciting.

Each module consists of two identical voltage controlled filters. Each VCF is completely independent of the other (except for the RIGHT FM 1 jack, which is make-and-break connected to the LEFT VCF FM 1 jack). The filters can be operated in parallel by mixing their outputs with an external mixer. They can be run in series by patching the output of one to the input of the other. Series connection will give a steeper slope.

The high pass input is interesting in that it can be used simultaneously with the LP input. Even more interesting is that this jack gives you direct access to one of the filter caps. If you "dummy" plug it, the cutoff frequency will change and the output signal will be boosted. If you then start turning the Res pot clockwise, the oscillations will become very distorted (and loud). Res pot full up and it's a huge, crunchy sound. Tell the guitar player to go home. :)

One more cool thing, you can influence the cutoff frequency by dummy plugging with a patch cord and then holding the other end in your hand. If you roll your finger (squeeze your hand shut, whatever) across the tip and sleeve you become the "ground" and the cutoff frequency dips down. It doesn't span the whole Freq range, but it can be used effectively to add a little (literal) "human" touch."

LFO Two
"Presenting a dual LFO module to fill your MU format needs.
LFOrg:
Based on the LFO found in the MS20.

* Shape control varies the waveshape at the mult'ed Shape Out jack, from saw to triangle to ramp. Shape control simultaneously adjusts the width of the Pulse wave output.
* Range switch control. Runs from just under audio rate to a low of approximately 4 minutes per cycle.
* Reset input restarts cycle when signal rising is above 1V and is great for getting the LFO in time with drummers, beat machines, etc. The point where the wave will reset to is selectable via pcb jumper: Hi, Low or 0V.

LFOrp:
Based on the LFO found in the ARP Odyssey

* Runs down to 30 seconds per cycle. Low Range jumper enables low times of approximately 2.5 minutes per cycle
* Sine wave and square wave outputs.

Many pcb jumper selected options (nine of them!) so users can easily customize their module to suit their needs.

MU format (will fit in synthesizers.com and STG cabinets and rack frames)

Built with love and care in Chicago using high quality parts including:

* Switchcraft 112 jacks
* NKK toggle switches"

Delta VCF
"The Delta VCF is more than just a clone of the filter section from a vintage synth of the same name. All of the supporting circuitry has been changed and additional features were added.

Includes a high quality, independent VCA, so it's like two modules in one. Linear AC coupled FM input is rare on a VCF. At low settings it works well in adding depth to bass and horn like sounds. Some settings and input combinations produce wildly chaotic results. There is a wide variety of in-between sounds to be had.

MU format (will fit in synthesizers.com and STG cabinets and rack frames)

Built with love and care in Chicago using high quality parts including:

* Switchcraft 112 jacks
* NKK toggle switches"

New Grove Audio WS-104 FM Operator aka the FM Ogre & GMS-1340 Polywav™ In the Works

via Grove Audio (no pics):

"FM Operator, WAV Player, VCO In Prototype

There is progress on the FM Ogre, officially the WS-104 FM Operator. The EU version prototype is up and running. Boards are in progress for the MU version which has some sub--assemblies. Hopefully, a demo and pictures of the panels will be up soon.

The GMS-1340 Polywav™ Player WAV sample player module prototype is coming together. This module will play back up to 14 16 bit 44.1 KHz stereo WAV files simultaneously, each with independent volume level under trigger or MIDI control. The first version for MU will use a 2MU panel. 16 1/4 inch jacks will allow gate triggers to start predefined sample playback. Two sets of CV and trigger inputs will allow voltage controlled initiation of sample playback from the current selected sample library. This will allow a group of samples representing a scale such as the Mellotron three violin sample set to be played from a CV source.

There is a MIDI DIN input that will accept note and control commands from a controller device to play sample sets. A separate sample set can be assigned to each of 16 MIDI channels. MIDI bank select commands can change the assigned sample bank for each channel.

A front panel OLED display and encoder will allow setting sample sets, MIDI channels, trigger assignments and other parameters. The SDHC card reader, accessible through the front panel will accept a card with up to 32GB of WAV samples. The user will then be able to select from a pool of 2048 samples to combine these into sample sets. Samples need to be recorded as 16 bit 44.1 KHz stereo WAV recordings. The sample length is not limited.

The GMS-321b Voltage Controlled Oscillator module is coming along. I have located a source for one of the last remaining NOS parts needed to build up the module. This is a recreation of the Moog 921b VCO and will be available as a 1MU module."

MMTA SYNTHFEST 2013: Dave Bristow & The History of Yamaha FM Synthesis


Published on Mar 18, 2013 matrixsynth·271 videos

This is a fascinating and significant bit of synthesizer history starting with the Yamaha CS80 through the DX7 from the man that was actually there. Yamaha hired Dave Bristow to showcase the Yamaha CS80 followed by asking him to provide input on their first FM synth the GS1.  It was sold as a preset synth but in the video you will see a programmer for it.  Dave was the person that Yamaha had program the presets for it followed by the GS2, DX7 and more.  You'll see the prototype for what became the DX7.  The prototype actually had a DX5 label and a huge breadboard of chips.   He co-authored "FM Theory and Applications" with Dr. John Chowing, the man that discovered FM synthesis at Stanford Unniversity, and he was a member of IRCAM.  Do not miss this. Bookmark it for when you have time if you need to. Dave also had a prototype SY77 at the event. You can see it in my video walkthrough as well as my event pics here.  An interesting side note is John Bowen was at the event, so we had both the man responsible for the presets on the Prophet-5 and other early Sequential Circuits synths, and the man behind the DX7 and other Yamaha FM presets.  Pretty incredible bit of synth history there.

Dave Bristow is part of the Music Technology group at Shoreline Community College where the MMTA Spring SYNTHFEST was held. Via Shoreline:

"Dave Bristow was born in London and began to study music on the piano at an early age. He graduated from university with a BSc in Psychology but soon turned his musical talents full-time and worked as a professional piano/keyboard player with jazz fusion, rock and folk bands. His interest in electronic music and sound steered him towards synthesizer design and development and he played a key role creating factory voicing for the well-known DX7 synthesizer and indeed most of Yamaha's FM synthesizers up to and including the SY99, and is internationally recognized as one of the important contributors to the development and voicing of FM synthesis, co-authoring a text-book on the subject with Dr John Chowning called "FM Theory and Applications". Dave has toured the world as a professional synth demonstrator teaching courses on synthesis and related acoustics in Europe and the USA. He spent three years at Pierre Boulez's music research institute, IRCAM in Paris, running a MIDI and synthesis studio and working with the visiting composers. He moved to the United States in 1995 to work with the electronic music company Emu Systems, Inc. in product development with sampling and filter based synthesizers. Following that in 2002, he began working again with Yamaha as a consultant, focusing on the introduction and support of their small format audio chip series (SMAF) for cell-phones and other mobile devices with ringtones and system sounds. More recently he ran and developed a non-profit community music school for four years on Bainbridge Island, and now spends his time teaching electronic music production and synthesis, and playing with his jazz trio."

Some details via Roman on Muff's:

"we (Roman Filippov and Alex Pleninger) are glad to introduce the result of almost a year of development, coding, electronic tests and just complex work in general - Sputnik Defect Processor Model 289.

this device is crafted to precisely comply the modular standards of Buchla Electric Music Box better known as Buchla 200 and Buchla 200e.

the core of the 289 is a Digital Signal Processor which takes all the computations in sound transforming and generating. around it one may observe some controllable analogue parameters such as Balance and Regeneration, they are independent for each audio channel. both DSP cores have 8 independent Programs or Algorithms per core and each such algorithm has three voltage controllable parameters, varying from program to program. each core can be expanded via another 8 programs on external EEPROM chip. one of the most exciting feature is the variable Timebase which affects a lot of nuances in every algorithm's behavior.

apart from conventional stuff like reverbs, delays and various modulations the Model 289 offers quite unique solutions such as fm-synthesis, wide sonic range generators, human throat modelling, simple spectrum transfer facility, pitch-to-cv conversion, pitch shifting, audio looping, several sound destructors, pitch class generator, karplus-strong synthesis and many others, including some auxiliary programs. and the program list is ever-growing, new programs are always on the way.

we hope this module will take its place in every Buchla system whether it is a baby 4U boat or two 18U cabinets mighty electronic workbench.

ALGORITHMS

OSCILLATORS

we offer two oscillator programs, both of them work in audio range from 25 to approximately 3000 hz.

the controls are the following:
x - pitch.
y - wavemorphing.
z - wavefolding.

audio inputs 1 and 2 support amplitude and frequency modulations respectively.
on the output 1 you'll get final waveform morphed and folded, if any.
the second output provides the sub-oscillator one octave below the main one.
as for y and z controls, the first one continuously morphs the osc core (saw or triangle, depending on chosen program) from saw through triangle to half-inverted saw or from triangle through sine to square. in the case the wavemorphing is set to square, the wavefolding performs as pwm controller. in any other situations z-pot folds the wave in a manner of mathematical reflection at the given threshold. all these are pretty straight-forward, even if sounds a bit messy. you may observe the oscillators behavior in the attached [above] video footages.

"Bastl Instruments Trinity, included is SQNCR, DRUM, POLY & MONO FM modules and an unbuilt MIDIbastl mondule.

Trinity is universal musical instrument and original sounding modular groovebox. It can function as any type of digital synthesizer, sequencer, controller, arpeggiator or almost anything that can be programmed into a micro-controller. Trinity is designed to be connected and combined with other Trinities of different functions in a chain, so you can create your own music making environment. It is ready to communicate with the outer world via MIDI and different sync and CV methods using MIDI Bastl. We are musicians passionate of exploring new fields of sonic experience – we already developed 4 different instruments for Trinity which work great together. They are sequencer, drum synthesizer, polyphonic synthesizer and monophonic FM synthesizer.…and there is many more to come!

global mode for tweaking all samples at the same time
4 different official drum kits (lo-fi TR909, classic from DRUM 1.0, gameboy, glitch)
drum kits / samples can be changed by converting wave files into .h file included in the source code (by python script included in Mozzi library) and updating the software in the Atmega
MIDI native by side connectors, note & velocity sensitive, CC support, thru
MIDI connector by connecting MIDI Bastl by the side

SQNCR module
controlling 3 different Trinity instruments (polyphonic or monophonic)
sending MIDI notes on 3 channels
32 steps / pattern
4 patterns for each instrument per preset
3 presets
recording from buttons or MIDI
erase single notes or clear whole pattern
adjustable pattern length, groove, tempo
tap tempo
jump function (step repeater)
auto quantize
MIDI clock support, master or slave (by receiving MIDI clock message it turns into slave mode)
MIDI by side connectors – MIDI connector by connecting MIDI Bastl by the side

MIDI Bastl module (Unassembled)
jumpers to select functionality and routing of the MIDI connector (with chain connectors and sync dev. area)
MIDI I/O
Attiny 85 based development area for almost endless sync possibilities (firmware for attiny still in development)
converts MIDI clock to CV clock (4 PQN and 12 PQN) for Korg Volca/Monotribe, Modular, Gameboy Nanoloop/LSDJ (done)
converts MIDI clock to din sync 24 /48
Standalone use: MIDI Bastl has no power jack and is powered via the side connectors from an instrument. For standalone use you need to make power jack adaptor. On the circuit board there are clearly marked spots to which you can solder cable to the power jack."
