Is the 1/4" jack tip ring sleeve? meaning 3 contact areas instead of 2? if not, you'll need to get a cable that has 3 contact areas (an XLR fitting is prefered). Have you tried input 2? If you have followed the manual and doubled checked your O settings are correct then you may indeed have either a ...

Thanks for identifying the tune !

Even though I run a mac for video and some audio, I've never had the need or desire for iTunes. But this may change in this case to capture the sound. If nothing else I could sample it, if I can't recreate it on the O.

Charlie,

According to the manual, you can only use 1 module at a time in Program mode. It is in Combi mode that you can use up to 4.

Dan,

Thanks for the answer! I didn't hold out much hope but thought I'd ask anyhow. I'll probably do some hand conversions on a few of the ones I love.

Wavesequence transfer from WS to O ?

I'm the original and still proud owner of a Wavestation EX and wondering if I can transfer wavesequences via SYSEX to the O. What I don't know is whether the O architecture is compatible to accept it since it handles wavesequences. I realize that normally you can only send sysex to another of the ...

Geico caveman song sound Instrument ?

Just wondering if anyone out there has heard the Gieco Car insurance TV ad with the caveman on a people mover in an airport going by a poster of a caveman and can identify the instrument used for the song that plays. It's a very "liquid" sound and almost drop like in nature. I think of lemon drops ...

Andy, It's my opinion that too many of us get caught up in having the latest gee gaw (myself included). But when it comes to electronics and computers, there is no way you can ever stop the geometric rise of new things coming down the pike. That said, I'm not sure anyone can pick the "right time" to ...

Steve, What you say may in fact turn out to be correct, but there are a million other scenarios that also may come to pass. No question there are competitive forces at work, but there's no way any of us can predict with any certainty how Korg will deal with them. Just think about the current price ...

dhj, FYI the people in the right places at Korg do watch this board almost everday and do comment back when they have time. Also, I'm sure you may have noticed the "stickys" at the top of the Oasys forum. On either the 2nd or third down you'll see a signature "danatkorg" read that thread to see what ...

OK, For all you thousands who care, you can find many different make and model keyboard floppy drives at the route 66 studio, in Janesville WI. I ordered one for my T1 today, these are made up new and are not refurbished. They tell they have never had to replace any drives they've made. I'll be sure ...

Ethan, I recall that designates a "sysex" file. Meaning system exclusive. System exclusive can be used to load new programs into a synth from another. Typically the sysex can be input from the "midi out" of the source synth to the "Midi in" of the receiving synth. The sysex files can also be ...

fv, Just to make sure you are aware, the "Oasys piano" program is different from the sampled Stienway grand which forms all of EXs 2. If the store unit only has one gig of ram in it (most in the store come this way), then the Stienway is not normally loaded. You can tell how much ram is in the unit ...

I think I found a replacement drive for the T1. There is a post on this subforum about Korg drives that references Studio 66 in Janesville, WI. They apparently build new drives for many older models & brands and it looks they may have a few other things as well. I'm going to call them tomorrow and ...

Floppy drive for T1 ?

My T1 has been in the shop for 2 1/2 months waiting to be fixed. It took the shop 1 month to get to it and parts (floppy drive) have been on order for 6 weeks. I requested the shop to check with Korg about the drive and I'm told it's on backorder and it will take another 6 weeks. When I asked if it ...

There are higher stresses when starting any rotating electrical equipment. Those stresses are generally focused on 2 things: inrush current to the windings when the motor is at rest, and drag/bump against the shaft bearings of the motor. In the "old days" when all equipment was larger, there were ...
