Yay!!!! Another osc sink op6 vid. This series is helping a lot-I’m spending more time exploring the opsix than with any other synth in the room… truly a wonderful instrument. This youtube series is really a public service, thank you.
This is the best Opsix videos in the web, be sure. The level of detail, and the warmness of your comments are delightful. Now i am your fan! Thank you!
As also a eurorack user: same! Both this and the Modwave incorporate a lot of ideas from the world of modular and it's great (you can "patch together" operators much in the same way you can modules on the opsix for example).
@@OscillatorSink Have you had much experience trying to sync the Opsix or Modwave with your rack? I assume I could drive it with Pam's or use a CV to midi converter and just sequence it from the rack.
@@jammystraub488 I haven't, but should he fine. I'd probably just use Digitone/takt to send midi to one and din sync to the other. Or use cvocd as a go between. Either should work I reckon.
And here I was thinking I was close to mastering the Opsix. These tips and tricks are awesome, had never even thought of these! Even something as simple as controlling a fixed operator's cutoff with its pitch knob, just to use its filter for its input/modulator, is mind blowing to me. Great videos man
@@OscillatorSink Yes between this and the Wavestate, I've never seen so many innovative and affordable new synths in one time period! This could have been a 1:1 reproduction of some fashionable old synth, but it's better for not being that.
@@SendyTheEndless I honestly think that the association with "that old FM synth" actually hurts the opsix in terms of people's perception of it. I think it gets written off as "an updated DX7" and it's so much more than that.
Thanks! Your in-depth videos are really nice. I just wish, you would use the lower registers more often... ;-) I think it is easier to hear the harmonic content of a sound then.
This is the best demo of the wavefolding in Opsix so far. Still, everyone seems timid about showing any examples of so-called "non musical" patches; the kind of thing that Buchla intended. I'm looking for something that takes to the next level what the Volca Modular does . So far the VM is wholly unique on the non-eurorack synthesizer market right now.
Just an idea: if some of the parts (branches) of an DX7 algorithms were used to simulate other waveforms… then you could import them, trim that branch buy substituting with the real waveform and then expand it again.
Hello and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've learned so much from your videos. I'm attempting to use filter mode in both series and parallel to simulate the multimode SEM filter of the oberheims. I'd be very interested in your thoughts on the best way to go about it. I've had some great results but your in depth knowledge of sound design would be greatly appreciated.
You are just blowing my mind! I got my first synth about a year ago, the Deepmind 12. Picked up with it pretty quick and I really like it. Since, I bought a couple Analog Mono synths, no issue with those either. This OPSIX though...dude, this thing is a monster. I have been watching your videos and i think "cool, but how do I use it in a practical purpose?" Really looking forward to some of your patch videos so I can look back through these vids and get a better understanding of how to use all this in a sound design landscape. Thanks again for all you do!!!!! 👍✌
The bypass mode passes through the operator above unaffected. The mute mode generates no sound and passes no sound from the operator above. Pretty short video. Might be good for engagement though.
This video and the rest of opsix series you´ve made are excellent. Since I sold my DX7 back in 1997 I haven´t bougth any synth yet (except for a NTS1 a couple of month ago) I´m really considering to get one of theese but the lack of atertouch and no exp pedal input kind of pushes me back. Anyway I could consider it as a desktop module with extra keys if i knew it responds to aftertouch via midi controller. Does it? Your videos shoud have wwwwaay more likes. Thank you
When I make a 4K camera's worth of money from UA-cam, I'll prioritise that, but generally I'll prefer to get new instruments to show on the channel when I have spare cash.

This series convinced me to take the leap - should have it in a couple weeks!
Hooray! Enjoy your new synth!

As a eurorack user, all this talk of wave folding and modulation makes my insides tickle 🤗 thank you for making this!

Really happy to hear it opened your eyes to some new ideas. It's a great synth and I'm always learning new stuff!
I was dying for a demonstration like this, just what I needed.
Cheers, and great work!
I aim to please!
@@OscillatorSink Direct hit 😂🤣
Korg are killing it with these synths
The opsix feels like a synth designed by someone with a real joy for synthesis. It's a very happy synth.

You are extremely good at explaining things very clearly. These must be far and away the best OpSix tutorials on UA-cam. Thank you so much!
Cheers!
Some hint from me: in "Misc" you can copy operaters very easy. Do your operater in 4 and copy it to 5 and 6. So it is an fast workflow

Thanks for the great videos.
You're welcome!

Really want one of these beasts. Must resist!
Haha, good luck with the resistance!

good job dude, its an inspiring video!
Thank you!
Can you do a deep dive into the mute and bypass modes?
The bypass mode passes through the operator above unaffected. The mute mode generates no sound and passes no sound from the operator above. Pretty short video. Might be good for engagement though.

Thanks! Aftertouch is a modulation source in the Vpatch, so if you have a controller that sends aftertouch then you can patch that all up!
@@OscillatorSink Thank you!!
brilliant :~)
Please invest in some better 4k camera so we can see synth display clearly. Thanks for the tips.

@@OscillatorSink perhaps is just the matter of better light
the note at 3:11 sounds like the opening note to this ua-cam.com/video/2Uy3uLIGRnA/v-deo.html
