We’d hesitate to say that the analogue revival is over, but there’s definitely been a subtle shift back towards digital synth hardware over the past couple of years, as Korg’s FM-flavoured opsix ably demonstrates.
Released in 2020, this is a six-operator instrument in the vein of Yamaha’s DX7, but is far more fun and accessible than its ‘80s forebear. It comes with a 37-note keyboard and a clean, intuitive interface.
At its launch price of $799, the opsix was never exorbitant, but right now, US users can grab one for the frankly bonkers price of just $330. That’s a saving of almost 60%.

It’s worth reiterating that this deal is available to US residents only - there’s no shipping available beyond US borders - but if you do take advantage of it, you’ll be grabbing yourself a proper bargain.
