Exactly! And therefore I just had to copy&paste almost my complete "Wish List Conclusion" from the old OASYS Wish List: http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... ht=#267364cello wrote:So - the issues that have been well documented and discussed on these forums by OASYS users, remain with the Kronos, hence there is going to be a whole lot of demanding and skilled people who complain about their Kronos.
And they will add a new, stronger dimension... OASYS users brought up new issues. Kronos users will highlight old issues and ask "if Korg knew about these problems, why on earth did they not sort them in the Kronos?".
If it's technically possible to run the new Kronos EP-1 on the Oasys, and if Korg decided to release a version of it for the Oasys, well that would be a beautiful goodbye gift from Korg!Dany wrote:It is just sad that the OASYS never received the EP-1, MDS Electric Piano, which does not depend on the new streaming technology from Kronos and would therefore run on the OASYS as well...

The Oasys will be one of the most sought after synths of all time in about 7 to 8 years . Trust
One reason why is the build quality beautifully done .
Now you fill in the rest .

Love last's longer than fear .
Hi cello, I forgot to mention the side cheeks silver paint rubs off if you look at it too hard....cello wrote:All relative, I think, Tony!
We all know about the buttons on the OASYS - I now have 2 that don't work any more; but generally speaking, my impression is that the O is built so much better than other alternatives...
Just my view...
Yes, I have thought about it and then stopped myself! Having read Akos Janca's thorough web tut on how to change the switches, it convinced me I don't know enough to do it properly and would probably do some damage to boot... So caution won and I can live without those buttons for the time being...Trinity2112 wrote:Have you thought about replacing the tactile switches, Cello?
Do you gig yours? I don't so can't say I've noticed any paint loss... mustn't be looking at it hard enough!TonyGen wrote:Hi cello, I forgot to mention the side cheeks silver paint rubs off if you look at it too hard....
....oh and the CD drawer is about as cheap as it gets....
Other than that it's built like a future proof tank
Yes, it can be an intimidating project, especially the soldering. However, if you're not up to it you can always pull the two boards, purchase the tactile switches and take it all to an electronics repair shop and have them do the nerve-racking work for you. You'll save yourself some aggravation by not having to transport or ship your Oasys.cello wrote: Yes, I have thought about it and then stopped myself!

Just keep in mind that there are 79 tactile switches in use. A bag of 24 runs approximately €13.00 + shipping. So you may want to be selective and just go after the ones that are questionable. Replacing 79 switches on an hourly rate can get expensive real quick....if price is a concern for you.cello wrote: it would be sensible to replace all of them in the one go.
