I reported to many freezes since updating to 1.3 Don't like that at all.

But........ I do enjoy the new MOD-7 and can advice the newbie’s with FM, like myself, exploring the tutorial from the PMguide page 331 to 339.

Really nice step by step tour. By following the steps I begin to understand what's happening and it is a good starting point for creating and editing your sounds. WOW, what a synth! Thanks Korg!

I would have loved this one with STR-1/ MS-20

Arend,

Yes I read some about the parameter guide, for the MOD7 and, what is, that time nice, we have a kind of tutorial with it, and, it's time, Korg, finally realize, we are not all bright with Mod7, LAc , etc, etc, Karma, sample and synths, at least me..

maybe I never read very much from the book, because, when I put my fingers on the O, my brain, start to dissolve toward music an playing, and good bye the book..., but, that time, yes I did read, and going to read more....Korg for dummies that what at lots of us truly need...Nothing wrong with it, because, Yamaha, for instance had understood, if they do sell lots of Tyros or else of the gears they do make, it is maybe they put some simple explanations into theirs brochures...


Sometimes I do wonder, why Korg, thing " if they buy from us, let it be difficult to master" please do not take it wrong, I do love their products, but, I dislike when I bought a Ferrari, not beeing able to truly drive it to it's fullest.... Yes we do have some video over the Net, but, usually, they are just the tip of the iceberg.....

Can you believe? if theses forums would not exists, I thing, I would never had the courrage to even think of buying an Oasys

And, if a mere maybe 5 % can truly get true all the stuff of an Oasys, before, either resale it ( too complicated ) then, Korg would only benefit on sales volume, if any of theirs gears would automaticaly come with Video and lots more tutorials

I agree that the documentation is done properly. However, I quite often miss the workflow-issue - esp. on a workstation that is more than just a synth. Mike Conway's tutorial videos explain what I mean. It's hard to do that without videos. Another great example is Stephen with his Karma videos.

FWIW, I don't belive you can expect immediate gratification with something as deep as the OASYS. Taking mdh's metaphor: You can drive a Vette off the lot, but it can easily take you a huge amount of time to get to the bottom of it. Maybe even years.

It should be a fun experience, to peel back the layers over time and discover the joys of the OASYS.

At least you can do it at home in your studio, not at some distant race track, spending serious money each time on fuel, tires, etc., or breaking a bone or two.

And if you had all the manuals on how to drive fast, it'd take a whole room of shelves, not just the few inches of OASYS books/vids.

Unless you're a fulltime, income-generating pro like some here, it seems that approaching the OASYS as a long-term adventure will produce the most rewards.

Now if Korg would add to the OASYS a 700 BHP, four OH cammed, supercharged, Mod-9 engine with paddle shifters, a custom Recaro and a cupholder with cowbell, I would indeed be instantly gratified.

As long as it stops freezing, I will be happy and glad to take my time uncovering it's full capabilities. I also bought the Oasys, knowing that it would take me a long time to reall learn it fully. I eagerly await and plunge into each new exi, etc... I just want the Oasys to be rock stable. Korg instruments have always been that....surely it should be a priority for the "flagiest" flagship of them all.

Parameter Guide seems to be intimidating at the beginning....MOD-7 chapter contains 50 pages!!!! But if you already readed and learnt other chapters as STR-1 you will see that most of the info is almost the same....Audio Input info....PCM osc and their parameters...use of filters, use of AMSs and their parameters are written every time it's needed so you don't need to refer to other parts of the manual...but the fact is (and that's part of the beauty of OASYS) you are adquiring a totally new synth engine and you just need to focus on the synth engine characteristics and posibilities because you don't need to learn new naming system for your envelopes, modulation posibilities, etc, etc, and other big etc!!!!! Once you learn these things for one of the synth engines you already have a big road already walked for all the others.

For sure none of them are easy enough for full learning in just a few days due to their complexity and posibilities. But the standarized naming system, structure, routing, etc pay off at the end of the day....

Just my point of view...

Yeah I see that. It's true that they repeat entire sections so it's convenient. it winds up thickening the book!

By the way, does anyone have any recommendations as to where the best source for DX-7 sysex downloadable libraries are?

That would be most appreciated......
