My dream Oasys rack would be less glamorous physically; it would just a 1U high rack unit without the touch screen or the knobs/faders etc. that just gives 16 or 32 synth parts with their own individual FX and Karma GE controllable using a Radias style computer editor with the audio streamed via ADAT or FW. Okay so it's not really the Oasys per se, but those synth engines would be awesome in a package more geared towards the modern musician needing quality sounds and KARMA without all the old school workstation trappings. Set the EXi free ! :-)

Daz.
How about if this rack had a VSTi mode :-)
The buttons in the top left would be....

Combi, Prog, SEQ, Sampling
VSTi, Compare, Disk, Global.

Would that feature alone excuse the height ?.
You would have the large eye candy appearance, plus full DAW integration.

The current size is purely based on real measurements of ATX specs, and what I believe would be the required height to pack an OASYS into. So yeah, no 1U design in this design.

I'm very interested in hearing opinions so it helps me get a better image in my mind as to what to design next. I'd like to create another model only this time the design would come first. Not the size of motherboards.

Regards.

Hi Ebse
The funny thing is that I'm just working on a 3D-model of my OASYS too!
Sweet... I look forward to seeing your OASYS model.
What program do you use, Sharp?
You will think I'm crazy, but for this model I wanted to see just how much you can do with primitives. So I modelled this in Vue 6 :-)

Regards.
Sharp.
