In this video, I walk you step‑by‑step through creating a warm, vintage‑style Juno‑60 inspired patch on the Korg Opsix — including that iconic lush chorus.
Even though the Opsix is an FM synth, its Altered FM engine lets you build surprisingly analog‑sounding patches with drift, warmth, and character.
Follow along as we build the sound completely from scratch, shape the envelopes, add drift with LFOs, introduce subtle noise, and finish it off with chorus and reverb.
