Tailoring a patch with randomisation using Korg’s opsix
Randomising synth parameters is a quick way to create new sounds, but controlling the process can make the results far more usable...
Korg’s recent opsix and Wavestate instruments are each excellent digital synths in their own right, but one of the most fun tools included across both is the customisable randomisation engine. This is a tool that can be used to fully randomise every element of the instrument’s sound engine and sequencer. While this can be fun and occasionally inspiring, given the complex nature of both synths a full roll of the dice rarely produces usable results. Fortunately, the tools allow users to target randomisation at select elements of each instrument, or constrain it within pre-defined ranges.
