My estimation used the SAW+ -> SHAPER technique for FM, which is also two blocks, so initially it doesn't seem like that would change the figures.

At least it will be easier to use with familiar ratio and mod depth parameters!  |

Thanks Evildragon and Dan for your very insightful posts. I've clearly under rated VAST (though always agree it sounds fabulous). But I still argue that the build quality of the keyboard / keybed of current Kurzweils (as a piano player) are a poor shadow of their past instruments up to the K2500 and are, IMO, incredibly disappointing to play. I would not buy a Kurzweil, for that reason alone, today.

Wow, that demo was amazing. Very interested! But I think it'll be a true Kronos killer when it can run solely on the IPad or other tablet. Combine it with a controller in the style of the Akai synthstation and you've got some amazing capabilites for cheap.
I wonder how well it does bread and butter sounds though, 'cause the Kronos is pretty much setting a new standard; and of course, performing live, you'd need the confidence of not having latency and computer issues in general.

I guess it's in the eye of the beholder. Or in this case, hands. I really can't object on build quality of mine. It's really well done, and suits my playing. 88-key K-series workstations were 7 kg heavier. No thanks.  |

On the OASYS and KRONOS, you can do this with a single "Oscillator." Using both "Osc" in a Program, you can switch between 16 different Multisamples. Throw Wave Sequences in the mix, and you can switch between 64 Multisamples for *each* of those 16 layers... |
Just curious... if I'm reading the OASYS manual correctly, it seems that HD-1 has 4 velocity zones per oscillator, as on the M3. So how is it possible to get 8 multisamples per single-oscillator program -- and is this a trick that also works in the M3's EDS engine? |

Sorry, I misspoke re the OASYS. The KRONOS's HD-1 has 8 MS per Osc; the OASYS HD-1 has 4.
