The Korena take

OP-XY is a portable synthesizer built around a dual-layer engine that combines subtractive and FM synthesis. A high-resolution OLED display provides parameter feedback while you adjust oscillators, filters, and modulation. MIDI and USB-C support connect it to other hardware and digital-audio workflows; stereo line outputs and a dedicated headphone jack cover output and monitoring. Its slim anodized-aluminum body, step-based sequencer, integrated punch-in effects, and multi-zone sampling capability suit portable production and live control.
