Sorry for beating a dead horse, but I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with your viewpoint.
Because: In the "old days" when you bought a synth and on the box it said "x/y joystick" and in the manual it said "x/y joystick" then when you unpacked the box, inside was a synth that
had a x/y joystick
On the Oasys, it says "EXf" and "EXs" and "EXi" BUT we never saw an "EXf".
That is my primary gripe.
The literary, on Korgs webpages, in the press, in the brochure was TELLING you that you WOULD GET these things.
(Which we never did)
Some other user on here wrote something like "...but we got effect type presets..." Excuse me sir, thats not quite the same as an "EXf".
I want Jerry and Dan to sit in their basement at night and program this elusive EXf and then start a new thread with a link to this download
(This is just a joke)
Now the second thing is the Function button "reserved for future use", again some other user (or perhaps the same dimwitted one) wrote in here something about "its in the service manual" or "to be used in service mode".
Excuse me sir, but ahem, "service mode" was not the intention, according to the MANUAL about its function.
I wish to feel humiliated and humbled as soon as Korg releases the promised EXf.
Overall, yes the Oasys is terrific as it is and I certainly won't want to part with it, unless it was to buy a new kidney or lung.
