... that is the STR-1 Nylon Guitar Program E000 on our Oasys, pretty damn impressive if you have the playing chops. Still working on it myself :lol:
You are right, very impressive 8) As I wrote before, I am enjoying the STR-1 not only for guitar sounds, but you can make 'out of space' synthesized sounds, a lot with Tone adjust.

And on topic:
Some very useful presets, too much to discover in a short time. But right now I am using the stereo phaser preset 01 'Deep E. Piano' and the St Tube Preamp Modeling preset 01 'warm&full with a Wurlitzer prog from KARO combining with a Wurlitzer from MOD7.

I can tell you I am all way back into Supertramp :wink:
I enjoy the STR-1 and especially the acoustic guitar - it does get a bit harp-like in the upper register but I haven't yet spent any time tweaking it to see what can be done to improve it. The mid range is fantastic and dynamic – it let’s your left hand come through. Not to say there isn’t room for improvement – and there are so many user refinements available at our finger tips, but I think many of these great Korg programs just require learning some of the performance characteristics of the actual instrument.

Here is a link to a one-off I did with the STR-1 Acoustic guitar a while ago. It was one of those moments when the instrument really moves you somewhere you didn't know you were headed. And later the realization that you really need to practice more or jump in and climb Mount Sequencer.

Back on topic I am really enjoying the new presets - always nice to have a breath of freah air to wake up the muse.

I have the playing chops but I don't like the sounds, if you're telling me that it's impressive, well no comment.

Hey Mauro,

You really need to post your own separate thread that lays out clearly what sounds are not being covered in the ROM to your satisfaction, or your wish list for additional samples to be added.

“ sounds, sounds, SOUNDS are what we are looking for most of all”

I want to be me, not Korg…but like the lessens. The sounds to me are just lessons to learn how to program what I want to be as an oscillator with coloring filters to throw in the sky and play with. Try being one and I bet you like the new walls Korg gave you lucky sentient dogs.

“But programming sounds and performances is a time consuming and arduous task”

yea…but jezzz…look at ALL the new Space Korg just gave you...and so is paying attention….you’ll break even but not till ya get there so I’d put my seat belt on if I had an OASYS right now and pay attention to the speedometer;-).

Hi Guys,

Well, Well, well....I've the Oasys (Kitchen), you've a Oasys (your Kitchen), He....

But we don't know how to use it, how to cook, how to make a nice sweet cake sound.So we need finally to get out and go to the market for Cakes and Food, but at Home we have a hugeeee beautifull Kitchenette and we don't have an idea how to turn "on" the oven, what a shame.
Food (Sounds) and Oasys (Kitchen).
