The opsix MKII is a surprisingly capable and compact FM synth. It’s a fantastic choice for sound designers, electronic musicians, or anyone wanting to explore the unique sonic possibilities of FM synthesis without a massive, complicated workstation. The Motion Sequencing is a real standout feature, adding a layer of dynamic control you don't often find in this category.

Frequently Asked Questions
The keys are shorter and lighter, prioritizing space efficiency over a piano-like feel. It's playable, but not a replacement for a weighted action.
Absolutely; the MIDI implementation is robust, allowing for extensive external control of all parameters, including those in the Motion Sequencer.
The display is adequate, but can be a little dim in very bright conditions. A screen protector might help reduce glare.
