Common opsix mk II Questions
How do I set up the opsix mk II to send and receive MIDI clock sync with my DAW?
Navigate to the Global Settings menu (Shift + Global), then go to the MIDI Clock settings. Set 'MIDI Clock Source' to 'External' for receiving clock, and 'MIDI Clock Out' to 'Internal' when sending clock, also ensure the correct MIDI port is selected.
Where are my saved Sound Programs (presets) actually stored, and how do I back them up?
Sound Programs are stored in internal memory, divided into Banks A through E. To back them up, use the Korg Librarian software (available on Korg's website) connected via USB, which allows you to save and load entire banks of sounds as .mnlgxdmp files.
The opsix mk II screen is frozen, and none of the buttons are responding. What should I do?
Try performing a soft reset by holding the 'Shift' and 'Enter' buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. If that doesn't work, a full factory reset (refer to the manual for the specific button combination) might be necessary, but be aware this will erase all user-saved data.
How can I quickly create a polyphonic chord progression using the opsix mk II's sequencer?
Engage the 'Chord' function within the sequencer (accessed via the Motion Sequence page). This allows you to record a single note and have the opsix mk II automatically generate a pre-defined or user-defined chord based on the note played.
What's the difference between the 'FM Algorithm' and 'User Algorithm' on the opsix mk II, and when would I use each one?
FM Algorithms are pre-defined arrangements of the operators (oscillators), offering a quick starting point for FM synthesis. User Algorithms let you completely customize the operator connections, ratios, and feedback loops, granting ultimate control over the sound design.
