No KARO Sounds anymore for the OASYS!!

rbox · Post by **rbox** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 4:54 pm

I was searching for Oasys SOunds and i know KARO. Want to buy KGA Granular Atmospheres and the FM Soundsets, but when i go to the Karo site no Oasys Sounds are available anymore.

http://www.karo-sounds.com/web/granular_d.html

(Produkt nicht mehr lieferbar!)

I dont understand that, the Yamaha AN1x was in the 90th a Flop and it is
no problem to buy after 15 Years An1x Sounds over the Internet.

And you cannot tell me that Karo has deleted their Sounds from their Computers.

Have to agree I was surprised by their decision not to support the OASYS any more.

I understand why they want to take advantage of higher volume Kronos sales and convert their libraries for that machine, but why can't they just keep what they've already developed online?

I feel really lucky now to have bought Karo Movie Collection and Karo Symphony Library when I did!

But I guess, just like the kronos is doing to the OASYS, the Karo sound collections for OASYS will become collectors items!

This is not accurate. They have already stated previously in this forum that they are revamping the entire library suites they have so as to support the OASYS and Kronos platforms. They will be releasing these updates shortly.

Maybe we will get an official statement from Kurt.
I can hardly believe, that they don´t sell their already existing Oasys libraries anymore... if some Oasys user decides now to buy, why not sell it?

best regards

Hope you're right as the libraries are fantastic! But I seem to remember a post here on KF (which I can't find although searching) that said the OASYS was not part of their future... which is kind of supported by them withdrawing the OASYS versions. Why withdraw them if they're already perfect for the OASYS? I certainly will not spend another 400Euros on a library that I already have just because they've improved a sample or two...

Im after that one (KSL), but can't get it now as not online anymore???? Well, it was available as a download, so why would this be a problem for KARO???

TO all,

This should clear this up.

Thanks for the link (that's the exact one I was trying to find!) but I read it differently to you...

What I read is - OASYS libs discontinued. These are now being developed with more samples for the Kronos. We've done 16 libs already.

I will be happy to be proved wrong - but all I can say is how I read the post...

Hopefully Kurt or Oliver will clarify!

Let´s wait for any offcial statement.
Thats what I uderstood as well.

I guess any of you who wants any OASYS title can contact them and they will be happy to deliver it to you.

I emailed Karo last week but not heard anything yet

I see John.

It´s weird, as Kurt always replies more o less fast.

Try to email him once more, maybe.

There´s no other way than wait for him to reply you or to see this post.

I think in this particular case silence speaks volumes!

Would be good to have clarification one way or the other though.

I'm not 100% sure but i think they are moving Karo to a new place.

Hi Anthony, hi OASYANS,

Sorry for my late responce...

we are updating all our OASYS libraries for the KRONOS!
The KRONOS libs have much more samples, programs & combis and also a lot of re-programming!

It's true... OASYS libs are discontinued, but you can email me what for KARO libraries you need

this is not a problem... info@karo-sounds.com

Best wishes,

Kurt
