Korg wouldn't be able to sell an Oasys 2 even if they made 1

[spalding12]

16-bit sound card and all that
there are many things in the oasys that could never be upgraded without a full hardware change in the first place

so.....
perhaps we are to believe that Korg has an Oasys 2 in development
afterall, the economy will turn around eventually..

but....
what Korg doesn't realize.... or, perhaps even care about
is that IF they came out with their "NEXT $8,000.00 WORKSTATION" no one would ever trust them enough to plunk down that kind of money

somehow, they must find the money to fix the problems on the Oasys in order to build TRUST in those who are willing to spend A LOT OF MONEY to own such a piece of electronics. otherwise, they really have painted themselves into a very dark corner..... sadly

They certainly wont get my money again, they shafted us on the sequencer.

i know they read this forum
and we know who the HIGHER UPS from Korg are.... who frequent this fine "establishment"

it isn't about PRESSURE
it's about DOING WHAT'S RIGHT
the only reason for Korg to not "FIX" the Oasys sequencer issue is if they are 100% out of money......
are they?


this was NOT a $4,000.00 worstation
but.....
more than twice that much money
why on earth would ANYONE.... EVER pay THAT kind of money for a workstation?
because..... it was supposedly FUTURE PROOF
The M3 is better "equipped" in some ways

there are only 3 possibilities as to why this would happen
1. (almost) being out of money
2. stupidity
3. unfair business practices

no matter which one is accurate....
they've alienated most of their "FANS"
in a time when Roland and Yamaha, etc are (seemingly) moving forward
someone better instruct the nice folks in Japan to make a VERY WISE DECISION in the next couple of weeks before a mass exodus of loyal customers commences

Neither yours nor mine.

I'm agree with all the posts above, this time without insult anyone.
Korg has lied us, as I said before (you know me, come on), this is a lesson for them, don't promise what you can't keep. Instead of updating the M3 you should upgrade the Oasys, many people here have struggled to get it, payed a lot of money, with this move you lost also me as customer, I'll never buy Korg again, sorry guys, you failed very big this time.

I agree with the sentiment. The problem is Korg still make the best quality stuff out there. Check the build quality on current Roland gear.

Nontheless no one will fall for the "open" architecture line again.

Clearly Korg got the business model wrong, both for them profitwise and for us in terms of continuing improvements.

We don't, which is why he was banned for life.
If you ever have a problem with someone on the forum, just PM Daz or myself and we will take care of it.

Oasys sounds better than the M3, and all other keyboards at present. What I'd want in an O 2 is no fan noise, quicker boot time or sleep mode, easier to play action (subjective, or course), and a better sounding piano (not subjective to anyone with ears vis a vis alternatives). There are other things I'd want, of course (like including a more practical alternative to Karma), but the above would be enough for me. I'd buy one.

The Oasys was (or is) one of the most advanced synths on the market. When they first announced it, people all over were begging them to build it (regardless of cost) - me included. My favorite link on it's history: http://www.vanille-media.de/site/index. ... org-oasys/

If it was profitable for them, they will build another (or something at that price point which is advanced). If it wasn't profitable for them, they won't. That's the bottom line. They *HAVE* to be working on the next, latest, greatest synth regardless - that's how they survive.

If they came out with an advanced workstation that could use VSTi's natively, they'll have a winner. And I will put in my pre-order immediately!

I don't have a Oasys.. yet... but isn't this what always happens with this kind of expensive and top-of-the line machines? Just like the Yamaha DX-1 and GX-1.
