Korg Forums

Seven years on and every time I sit at the OASYS it's still an enigmatic experience. Nothing apart from my CS80 comes close to the experience of playing and composing on it. It's not just the sound and all round capability of the beast, it's how stunning a control surface it possesses and how ...

Yes, he also spoiled the OASYS forum with his time wasting nonsense...

Guys, When I'm powering on my ''O'' Aafter booting on screen is written: ''the clock battery is low. Please replace the battery and set the date and time in Disk Mode'' So, is this just regular 3V battery or what?! Did anybody else change? It's very easy to exchange the calendar battery. Details ...

Does anyone know of a viable alternative Fader Cap (that looks OK too) to the OASYS ones. Unfortunately, mine have turned to mush (a curious chemical degradation accelerated by this utterly weird weather we're having in Ireland this summer (warmth!) ). Any useful pointers appreciated... I've ...

I didn't know yet!.... and I've just heard before that George Duke died the 08/05/2013! What another huge loss for the world of music! Now he followed the other music giants of his league, who already left this planet, like Miles Davis, Joe Zawinul, Michel Petrucciani, Michael Brecker, Bob Berg ...

A strong community should be able to handle a member like Saxifraga! Apart from his questionable style of communication, he is basically right. When I purchased my first OASYS in 2008, I did complain several times on the forum about the lack of real-time control via touchscreen compared to the then ...

...It's logical,a serious pro live keyboard must be made like a tank...NORD has it for sure. Now, this is objective and very true! The more expensive Rolands have also a very good build quality (Jupiter-80 is built like a tank). Korg is very capable of producing such tanks, like for example the ...

...Personaly(î know it's subjective too)i can't feel organic with a kronos,becauseit sounds like a good plug for me. Nord keyboards are not so perfect,but so much organic.(not a pc motherboard in a semi plastic case.) ... This statement is indeed very "subjective" and objective it is of course ...

I am convinced that the colour plays a significant part in the success of the Nords. It simply looks great on stage. It may sound ridiculous, but appearance is more important than you might think, even when it comes to products that are supposedly all about how they SOUND, and not about how they ...

Thanks Sharp. You know, this morning I've just had this "Korg is dead, long live the OASYS" feeling again...

You can't fix what isn’t broken. No matter what steps are taken now, all Hammer Action keybeds will get louder as you play them more and more... This statement may give some comfort to those who are disappointed with the Kronos keybed quality, but it is nevertheless generally not true! E.g. both of ...

Yup. The M3 is basically an older version of one of the nine engines in the Kronos. This is not exactly correct... ;) The Kronos HD-1 engine originates from the OASYS HD-1 engine, but offers 8 instead of 4 velocity switches. HD-1 (High Definition) synthesis uses uncompressed waveforms. The M3 ...

...On a very neutral opinion here, RD pianos are good.. Even though they are 3 layer only, but its like having multiple layer... Roland's SuperNATURAL pianos don't use velocity switching and have a completely smooth sound transition from velocity level 0 to 127, as demonstrated in the video below ...

The changes make sense and are good, with one exception: The categorization into "Korg Virtual Analog (Modeling)" or "Korg Digital Synths / Workstations" is questionable concerning the OASYS and Kronos, as they are also VA modeling synths (factually even three) and of course much more, like FM ...
