However, I also remember the velocity-sensitivity was hard to play, going from pianissimo to fortissimo without much control in between.
The DK-600 is an updated version with better MIDI, and DCOs.
As far as differences in sound, this is what I remember:
Opera 6 - PolySix: very different. The Opera 6 was more "plastic-sounding" if I can describe it like that, where the PolySix is more "liquid"
Opera 6 - Juno line: different from the 60; more similar to the 106
Opera 6 - AX line: different from the 80. I'm not familiar with the 60 or 73 enough to make a comment |
Hey! thanks for the info Paolo. Much appreciated!
So am I right in thinking the
Opera 6 is a
2 VCO Poly?
If so, think I would be very much interested in trying one of these out for myself!
