Turning the opsix On
Make sure that both the opsix and any amplification devices such as powered
monitor speakers are turned off, and turn the volume of all devices all the way down.
1.
Hold down the rear-panel
(power) button. Once the "opsix" logo appears in
the display, release the
(power) button.
2.
Turn on any amplification devices such as powered monitor speakers, and then
adjust their volume. Adjust the opsix's volume using the VOLUME knob.
Turning the opsix Off
1.
Lower the volume of your powered monitors or other amplification devices, and
turn them off.
2.
Hold down the opsix
(power) button until the display shows "Shutting Down,"
and then release the
(power) button.
Auto Power-Off
By default, the opsix will automatically turn off after about four hours have elapsed
without use of the front panel, keyboard, or MIDI input. See the Owner's Manual
(PDF) for details on how to disable this function.
Playing the opsix
Playing a program
1.
Turn the PROGRAM knob [6] to select a program.
Selected
program name
2.
Play the keyboard to check the sound.
3.
To confirm that this is the program you want to select, press the YES button [8].
To cancel the selection and return to the previous program, press the NO button
[8].
4.
To change the tonal range of the keyboard, press the OCTAVE button [7]. This
changes the tonal range of the keyboard in one-octave increments.
5.
Use the PITCH wheel [17] to change the pitch. The MOD wheel [18] modifies
whatever parameter is has been assigned to. It is often used to change the cutoff
frequency or vibrato depth. You can also change which parameters are controlled
by the MOD wheel [18].
Using the analyzer
You can show realtime analysis of the synthesizer's audio output on the display [5]
by pressing the ANALYZER button [9]. This button switches between a spectrum
analyzer, oscilloscope, and the previously displayed page.

Performing with the arpeggiator
1.
Press the ARPEGGIATOR button [20]. "Arpeggiator Run=On" will appear in the
display.
2.
The pattern set in the program will be used when you play the keyboard.
3.
Press the ARPEGGIATOR button [20] once more to turn off the arpeggiator.
"Arpeggiator Run=Off" will appear on the display.
4.
When you hold down the ARPEGGIATOR button [20], "Arpeggiator Run=Latch"
will appear in the display and the latch function will be enabled.
The arpeggiator will keep playing, even if you take your hand off the keyboard.
Hold down the ARPEGGIATOR button [20] once more to disable the latch
function.
Editing with the operator mixer
In the OPERATOR MIXER section, you can use the RATIO OP 1–6 knobs [3] to
edit the pitch parameters for each operator, and the LEVEL OP 1–6 sliders [4] to edit
the output levels.
1.
Turn the PROGRAM knob [6] to select a program to edit.
2.
Move the RATIO OP 1–6 knobs [3] and the LEVEL OP 1–6 sliders [4] of the
OPERATOR MIXER.
The effect will change depending on whether the operator you are editing is a
carrier (the RATIO knob LED will light up red) or a modulator (the RATIO knob
LED will light up blue).
RATIO knob [3]: Changes the pitch of each operator. Mainly the pitch changes
for carriers, and the brightness of the sound or the position of harmonics changes
for the modulators. Raising the pitch of a modulator will emphasize the sparkling
harmonics that are characteristic of FM tone generators.
LEVEL slider [4]: Change the output level of each operator. The volume changes
for carriers, and the brightness of the sound or the strength of the harmonics
changes for the modulators. When the carrier is in FM mode and the output level
of the modulator is brought way up, you can get a heavily distorted sound that's
something like a distorted guitar.
Easy program editing
You can edit the main parameters besides those of the operators in the HOME/
ALGO page.
1.
Press the
ALGO button [10] to
display the HOME/ALGO page.
2.
Use the DATA ENTRY A–F knobs [12]
to change the values for the parameters
shown on the display.
ALGO: Select the algorithm that
determines the structure for operators
1–6 from the presets and user algorithm.
ATK: Sets the attack time (how quickly
the note starts) for all operators.
DECAY: Sets the decay/release time
(how quickly the note fades out) for all operators.
FX1–3: Although the way this works depends on the effect type that is set, this
mainly changes the depth of the effect.
