Look at that, a new version of the opsix! So I guess it isn't discontinued! Kind of great news all around: new one doesn't have anything that makes me want to upgrade, but it's available for people who missed out on the original (which is maybe available again? or will be?) and in high-quality keyboard form for those who care about that (I actually prefer fewer keys/smaller size). Anyway, here's a BoBeats vid about it:
@etherdiver "So I guess it isn't discontinued!": for what it's worth, #Thomann lists the original #opsix as "in stock": https://www.thomann.de/gb/korg_opsix.htm
The new one, not yet.

@hopfgeist that's good to know. I had assumed the old one was discontinued because of the blowout sale and the fact it kept not getting mentioned by Korg.. But it was always just an assumption on my part (and the part of plenty of other music nerds, for what that is worth).
@etherdiver that may have been different at other times, but to me, korg.com currently shows it on the (mobile) front page. Quite a way down, far below the "SE" and the software version, but it's not exactly hidden.
The desktop site also lists it under "Products -> Synthesizers/Keyboards", not too far down. So not sure why that rumour started.

@hopfgeist I think part of it is there's a perception that companies will tell you one thing while doing another... It looked like it was discontinued (blow out sale, out of stock everywhere for a while, etc) so people assumed it was. Korg wasn't exactly vociferous about denying it, either.
