"This is one of the first samplers ever made, with a whopping 2 seconds of sample time onto floppy disks.
Fortunately this one has been upgraded to a SD card for thousands of storage slots and access to folders for organizing your collection.
Recently serviced and it really sounds awesome, don’t let the low sample time deter you, think of it like a digital mellotron with some bonus features such as vibrato and a dual track sequencer.
Since there was only a few hundred ever made and now only dozens left still working this is a difficult item to price. It’s borderline a collectors item, but I have been having fun sampling some of the classic sounds that I manage to find on the internet."

"Designed for little old ladies to plop on top of their mid-70’s solid state Hammond organs and borrowing from early Roland technology, the controls are accessible, easy to operate and indeed, quite varied. You have 16 basic beats grouped by musical style with names like “Liverpool, Western Shuffle and Afro Latin. Once Eunice got her basic groove going she could then jazz the beat up by punching the A,B,C or D buttons which add new sounds and get more complex, with “A” being the simplest and “D” the most complex- hence the “Vari.”
More modern users are now running effects through the signal of these things are are coming up with some very creative loops. There’s also a mute switch (Silent Sound) a “Measures” dial running from 1/2 to 16, an “Auto-Vari on/off function and tempo and volume control dials. Best of all are those famous ‘70’s “boom-chic” drum sounds! The single 1/4” out on the back opens up a world of possibilities beyond grandma’s living room.
Everything operates as it should. Cosmetically there’s some scuffing on the end trim and heavy scuffing on the bottom. (I think this thing may have seen a piano bar or two in it’s day.) All in all though it works beautifully and still looks pretty darn good."

Can Korg OPSIX Sound Analog? FM Digital Synthesizer Rik Marston

""Can Korg OPSIX Sound Analog?"
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**No Talking!** ***Watch in HD!!*** **Turn it UP!!!***
I love the Korg OPSIX, I knew I would. Such a DEEP synthesizer.
But don't let that stop you from getting one, NO! This FM synth
was made for EXPLORATION! Incredible digital FM dimensions!
Great job, KORG! Only issue I have with this synth is the MIDI port
is right in the center on the back so I can't use MIDI on my APEX stand.
KORG: move the MIDI ports to the sides so Ultimate Support APEX users
can trigger MIDI to your synths! Just sayin'.....
More video demos of the Korg OPSIX on the way!
(Oh, and maybe some videos of a synth with a "Vintage" knob too!)
Special shout out to BRYAN at GC Fort Collins, CO for being a good sales guy!"
