I’m looking at the module versions, as one fits just perfectly in the space above my Minilogue XD. I prefer the feel of the Minilogue XD mini keys than the Modwave / Opsix keybed.
I’ve had limited time with them in store so far, but they both fit well with my small living room set up. As for the sounds, well they both have a vast repertoire of quite obviously digital sounds, but you can get some decent analogish tones on both.
The Opsix really does take FM to the next level! Go watch some of the wonderful sound programming vids on YouTube and just watch how much programming potential it has!
The Modwave on the other hand, as the name implies, is all about the modulation. I’ve not seen or heard quite so many good programming vids on this one. Some of the sounds seem a little harsh and grating to me, but I think that it hit the market at an odd time and probably had lost a little popularity due to it. I definitely need more time playing with this one.
If you really can only get one, it’s just gonna have to be down to your own personal choice, as I could see them both being a lot of fun…..just really need all three (Wavestate too) lol - they’re like the Pokémon of the cheap hardware synth world.
You need a Korgi shirt.

Depends on what you want in a synth.
Modwave is like two instances of Serum stacked.
Opsix is 6op FM with nice upgrades. Can be a subtractive synth too.
If you prefer subtractive synths, then choose Modwave. If you want a FM synth with some neat tricks, choose Opsix.
I have both synths as VSTs. I use Opsix more but Modwave sounds great.
We all do, lol.
Sure we should have some Audiobus T's. Maybe Audio Buses come in threes or maybe something actually funny 🤣
💯🤣
Both are great, but I’d add another possibility to consider the Yamaha MODX, not quite as intuitive but certainly has the power.
I’ve changed my mind.
After listening to many many Modwave vids since you asked (and I was considering them anyway), I can’t ditch the fact that I hear so many more Opsix and Wavestate sounds I like rather than Modwave ones. So, for myself now, the Modwave is in 3rd place and I would choose between a Opsix and a Wavestate.
Just to add, watch a lot of the Oscillator Sink YouTube vids for the Korg synths. He really gets in-depth with those synths.
Adding to this: the VSTs have demos so that should help in making a decision
Edit: jeez, sorry, I failed at reading
I think all 3 of these benefit a lot from digging in and mastering the programming. I'm not sure why this is, but I have noticed a common trait with wavetable synths that they can lack a wide range of examples online. Maybe because they so easily sound harsh and digital, and it can be a bit of work to get any smoother or "rounder" sounds out of them.
OP mentioned trying software demos for both.
I would suggest going beyond just auditioning presets in isolation... and putting together a song in your DAW. The experience of what Opsix preset(s) sounds like, as part of the mix your song, vs. Modwave presets(s) might give you more clues as to which synth would be the better fit for your music.
I would buy the software and upgrade my controller before buying the hardware.
I only allocate space to hardware that is unique or, in the case of my one bit of kit that has a software plugin (Elysia Karacter), is vastly superior sounding to the software. Unique means there's something new and inspiring rather than a synth-specific hardware controller.
I've used all three and if I had to pick one, it would be the Wavestate, absolutely no doubt.
They're all three well-made synths, each of them goes beyond just offering a certain known synthesis concept, but the wavestate ticks the most boxes for me in terms of sound quality in factory samples, creative use of wave sequences, filters, modulations and effects. It's really fun!
On top, I can always use its sample import software for loading FM or Wavetable sounds that can't be covered natively. There's an insane 4GB of free onboard sample memory that will take some time to be filled.
The factory library is so huge that I didn't have to use it much though.
We actually had Audiobus T’s for awhile when the site first started. I wore mine out, would love to a get a new one with the newer logo.
