Hi Alex,
Yes, the proper hard case / flight case is another issue if you want to transport it to gigs. (Sure it's not needed inside the house.)
I have a good protective case but this literally doubles the weight of the package and I admit - while it's possible - it's not easy to move. I don't have a better solution yet.
We, especially musicians, have to take care of our hands, wrists, arms, backs, knees, legs, etc. Maybe I will change the current case to this one. It's almost as heavy as my current one but has two handles on each side so I could grab the case with two hands - easier to hold it and the load on each arms is halved. (Additional advantage: the top of the case is removable, so you don't have to take the OASYS out of the case, it can rest on the bottom half.)
If you transport the O yourself, a proper car is needed with enough space in the back...
All the above problems can be avoided by involving professional transport service and roadies. _________________ AkosJanca.com | Facebook | YouTube | SoundCloud | FuturePlant || OASYS-demos | nanoROCK demo | Korg Band in the Garage demo | Kronos Demo 1 | Kronos Demo 2 |

It’s been a busy night but I am making progress.
As you know my OS was 1.0.1 when I brought it home, and I was unable to find the Public ID, but I have made some progress, allow me to share my results with you.
I was looking through the OS Installation discs which the previous owner gave me and I noticed there were actually 2 sets of discs (4 CD’s) in each set.
Set #1 was 1.0.1 = my current OS
Set #2 was 1.1.0 = Aha! I know that in order for me to upgrade to 1.3.3.a, I must first have 1.1.0 installed, but how the heck can I upgrade to 1.1.0 if I don’t have a Public ID?
I was feeling like a dog chasing my tail, so I attempted to follow the instructions in the Oasys Parameter Guide and followed page 906 (Restoring the Oasys from the Factory CD’s)
As soon as I inserted CD #1, I was given a blue screen that said:
“The Oasys Must Be Re-Authorized Before the Installation Can Continue”, it then displayed my Public ID! Armed with this elusive number, I then visited the Korguser.net website and attempted to register the Oasys. The previous owner told me he never registered it (He bought it new), so I thought “I should be able to since I have the public ID, the SN, and the exact date he purchased it as well as the store.
I filled out the forms as if I was the original purchaser, and “Voila!”, 30 minutes later I received an email from Korg with a zip file and instruction on how to re-authorize.
After following the instructions and burning an ISO image to CD, the re-authorization was a success, and then I updated to version 1.1.0.
I then went to the korguser.net site and downloaded the update titled 1.3.3a, & after successfully completing it, this is where I ran into my first problem. On the start-up screen it shows my current OS as 1.3.3, but where is the (a)? Shouldn’t it say 1.3.3a? It only says 1.3.3, so something went wrong somewhere.
I double checked the file I downloaded from Korg, and confirmed the file to be 1.3.3a but on the Oasys start-up screen, the “a” is missing. Here is what the screen looks like now:
So now what is left to do to fully update my O and unlock all the available expansions, and which order should I do it in?
Thanks guys, I’m getting there and now after tonight I’m a lot closer
5am, I need sleep! |

Hi again and glad that you were able to get it updated. I can't remember what the 'a' on 1.3.3 was for exactly but I am pretty sure it doesnt matter and mine doesnt have an 'a' on the screen either
Re the expansions the order doesnt matter. Mod-7 is very cool if you like FM synthesis. Or the LAC-1 is emulations of the Korg MS-20 and MonoPoly, and they are great as well. In fact, just get all the expansions, they are all worth having.
Love the photo of your OASYS too, and yes a very cool looking stand for it. And hope you got some sleep this weekend
Cheers for now |

Thanks t.
AJ, that is kind of cool.
You know I was born in your neck of the woods, not very far from you in a city called Kosice'. According to my mom, I was almost born in Hungary, but the train was on time, lol
Regards
AJ |

Yes now I remember, "Kasha".
I was there for a visit in 1989, spent 7 days there.
What's strange, I can't remember how to speak Cz or Sl, but yet I still remember how to speak Hu, weird eh?
I can understand 100%, and speak about 70%, and if I try hard and go slow, I can even read some, but I have to go very slow and sound it out.

I just went through almost the same scenario purchasing a used Oasys. She never played it, never registered. There wasn't a scratch to be found! Best part was it was only 20 miles away, so local pick-up. _________________ Create to enjoy, not to destroy |
