"Embark on an interstellar sonic voyage with 'Space Explorations', a breathtaking new soundset for the Korg Opsix. From the creator of the legendary 'Divina' (Korg Wavestate) and the critically acclaimed "Cosmos" (Waldorf Iridium) comes his latest masterpiece. Renowned sound designer OttO K. Schwarz once again pushes the boundaries of synthetic sound to build vast, spacy soundscapes perfect for scoring the final frontier.

"From legendary analogue synthesizers to genre-defining digital powerhouses, Korg has sat at the heart of synth innovation for generations."
This one comes up via a KORG newsletter I just recieved with a video for "a deep dive into the multi/poly with Luke from Korg." I was about to post it and then realized it was from 11 months ago. I checked to see if I posted it before and couldn't find it. I've been posting the US videos. So... Here's KORG UK's synth playlist in case you missed any like me. You can use the player controls to skip around. It's a fun and interesting look back in time. You'll find Korg's Tatsuya Takahashi, aka Tat's, showcasing the Volca series.
As always, check with dealers on the right for availability.

"First of August was performed live using the Oxi One MkII sequencer, Korg opsix, multi/poly and wavestate synthesizers and Roland TR-6S drum machine. The FM e-piano from opsix is running into the Line 6 HX ONE and Meris Mercury X in series for a lovely wash of reverb. The TR-6S is running into the UAFX Golden in Percussion Plate mode. Multi/poly is using the built in effects. Wavestate is a dry bass sound. There is no post-processing."
"I got extra silly and crazy with this latest Skweee-inspired funk track. Most of the sounds are from the Korg Opsix, Moog Minitaur, Arturia Polybrute, with drum sounds from Addictive Drums 2, everything done in Reaper. Visuals done with Imaginando VS Visual Synthesizer. Enjoy!"

"I'm releasing some new music on my bandcamp today, it's eleven alien soundscapes entirely made using the Korg opsix - one of my favourite synths when it comes to exploring sound design, and in this video I'd like to share some of the sound design ideas and techniques that sit at the heart of the album and give some context as to what this release actually is."
