did that happen with the second Oasys-88 or with the fifth Oasys-76 of your collection?

hey sina172,

thanks for responding, so i'm assuming i can do the same with a kronos that your doing with the oasys, since i've been reading that the circiutry is the same on both models?

Just by the way,
NO other synth "burns the TI to ashes". At least no one I know.

The TI is simply doing extremely well at what it was designed for.
Other VAs are fine in their own way. It seems to me that AL-1 is a great VA, but neither is it able to replace a TI completely nor does the other way round make much sense. I guess the AL-1 may be better for lead sounds, to name a concrete example, with its very good non-aliasing engine up to highest notes. The TI has some other strong points, but I don't want to begin a point by point discussion about that. Both are probably great to use in any keyboarders everyday life.

From my view it makes more sense to use the potential of any one synth you deal with, or to name concrete limitations you struggle with, than to jump to generalising boasting terminology.

All for good, Sina! Wink

I master EVERYTHING into my OASYS. I run a 32-Channel Yamaha Mixer into inputs 3 and 4 of the OASYS where I have a LOT of my keyboards connected to. I then use the Optical I/O to the DAW using a Grace m904 in between my RME Fireface 800 and the OASYS. Here's whats interesting

i think this is really just about -re-amping isnt it? yes adding oasys compression aswell etc but ultimately this is often done by people in variable ways.I run all my hardware synths through a Neve stereo preamp , same goes for samples and also softsynths , everything goes through it accept things like Spectrasonics stylus and vsti's that sound like they have been heavily processed with pres and compression etc.

With reference to the idea of ' mastering ' samples i think your confusing ' mastering ' with pre processing.I good example is Spectrasonics stuff , its really heavily processed , the stylus drum loops to a point where you have to avoid almost always any further compression and limiting.

Samples definmately sound better if they are given some body via a good preamp and also via a good valve processor 'sometimes' or ' colouration ' but it depends on the material at hand as to what you use

Personally for synth sample rom i think its better to have good clean and hi def sound but leave the colouration and ' mastering ' or limiting / compression until further down the line.Yes it will make the synth sound ' bigger and maybe better ' out of the box but it confuses things in the production side , i had this countless times with Spectrasonics loops where they have to be mastered seperate from the main parts as they already have such a processed sound and compression.
