I think the Oasys type sounds justify part of the price. NO doubt. Also you get what you pay for. I can honestly say I do not think I paid too much for and instrument that will challenge me for years to come. The man hours and dedication to this project perfectly justifies the price. Excellent ...

Hey Mike, I don't mean to diminish Lionstrac or the Miko. I think they both have problems in the sense that they are basically a full fledged computer in a box. This as we all know is much more different than the Oasys. The O has a stripped down Linux OS kernel that has been fined tuned to not worry ...

Boy Mike recommending the OPen Labs Miko is a real kiss of death considering in runs on Windows basically. Whew. I think the gentelman has a right to state what he says but I think honestly he is wrong because for what he is demanding I don't think there is enough of a market for it. Korg or any ...

I think we are all waiting for the annual (wish it were semi-annual) Korg software upgrade, it should be due up soon.

Iwould say one thing that is interesting though as I've been finding out in the karma forums is that you can ues ESC to basically port a VST into the Oasys and get marvelous samples into the Oasys and fine tune them with the incredible filters and hardware the Oasys has. It's amazing.I will never ...

Many have spoken about this before and you have basically to think about this... $8000 keyboard + well built (not cheap) hard case = peace of mind even if you pack it once a year. That's priceless. I spent $700 and if I use the case once I'll be lucky. Consider it an investment.

I agree wholehartedly with rkarlberg, PIck up the Hanon book and your chops will improve especially solid self quantization and dynamics. Playing a lot of Bach will also discipline your playing. Unfortunately there are many so called composers or keyboard players that are weak in this facet of their ...

I think the mater volume slider is linked only to the L/R outputs. You could link your L/R and your 1/2 to the same value slider controller and use it as a volume to control all volumes. Some folks may chime in on this one.

I had a similar error with my 2Gb pendrive. When the Oasys looks a the size it reported is as 220M which did not make sense. Korg has said in the past that scanning the external device might clear this but I ended up fixing this by rebooting the Oasys with the USB connection in prior to booting up ...

Synthia, I never told you what to do with your money the only thing I did was ask a very simple question and quite politely I'd say. So I don't think your emotional outburst is justified, but que sera sera. I pretty certain that the Oasys can do 99% and more of what the Radias could anyway from what ...

It's illogical. Because we want to and we can??? You sound like the folks that spend so much on there credit cards and then they say boo hooo I am now so in debt because no one told me to stop. Dude, I love synths but once I got the Oasys I came to revelation that there are no other better because ...

I have a simple question though.... If you have a Oasys why would you want anything else or even have anything else in your studio? The Oasys does it all. Many of us after the Oasys don't really dedicate time to anything else after we buy it.

This may be the classic case of not reading the manual. The Oasys as I've said is a mature instrument and you really should not "wing it" . You actually have to sit down and read complexities in the manual. Some people are not confortable with simple stuff like subtractive synthesis now consider ...

Man it's not rocket science all you do is load the MID file into your system and if it doesn't map out as GM then you have the benefit of mapping your own sounds to each of the tracks. If you have an Oasys and cannot even perform this simple task or pick up the book to invest some time in learning ...
