opsix hardware release notes

Different opsix models

All updates apply to both the original opsix, opsix mkII, opsix SE, and opsix module, except where specified otherwise.

How to update opsix hardware

To update opsix hardware, use the Korg System Updater. The Korg System Updater installs software updates onto select Korg hardware instruments. Currently, this includes the wavestate, modwave, and opsix instrument families. It automatically detects supported instruments, and connects to an internet server to find the latest available software versions.
