Let's take sirCombatWombat's key words and apply the proverbial sledgehammer to the nut so: - If an OASYS2 had the followig features: --- All existing OASYS features --- ME Expanded Sequencer --- Dual or Quad Core processor --- USB/Firewire connectivity to computer --- Librarian --- DAW Plugin ...

I'd been meaning to ask Wombat if he had tried that, because I figured it would be very much his bag. In fact no I haven't, and I went straight to Reasons web site to watch the video after reading your message. But, does it do anything the OASYS does not already do? I have watched Arturias plugins ...

Actually - something else comes to mind - which Mike Conway and sirCombatWombat have already been exploring, but if fully exploited would indeed be a new definition of what 'Open Architecture Synthesis' could come to mean: - easy and transparent routing of one synthesis engine into another. Perhaps ...

What if...I´m not saying it´s easy, BUT what if you could build in a feature that can take a sampel and convert it in to a program by it self? You can do this know but what if it was from a ...do you call it a spectral analyse? Anyway I think you know what I mean. (Bad english) And the program w ...

... Sticking all the latest goodies in a workstation format which is a decade+ old, isn't great and doesn't work well with contemporary environments. And it isn't fun to use. I didn't say it should all run on the computer, rather than on a real instrument ... I just want to have BOTH options ...

So I suppose another approach to my question is – is OASYS, wart and all, a valid pointer to the future of worthwhile hardware synthesizers, or is it time to wind all that down in the face of cheap and free of charge Softsynths and DAWs? To me, its a no brainer – OASYS is vital and central; but I’ve ...

I'm curious as to why you buried it in the first place?

Ken

I really don't remember. I started the project before we moved, and it was buried in the process. It is possible that I got some other great idea and forgot, I'm really good at that too.

SirCombatWombat!! You seem to have put your anvil and hammer to good use!! :D (says a guy who's only electronics merit is the dismantling of a 1992 external hard drive, and not being able to put it back together..) :D I just remembered that I have dismantled a wireless joystick with three pots ...

Daz,

I think a modular approach would be cool, but in a computer, no. Besides the OASYS is kinda modular already. But I'm intrigued by the concept of modular synths, and a wall filled by different kinds of cord patchable OASYS modules would be heaven on earth.

But to further enhance the workstation concept would probably mean more physical controllers to control sound. Rolands D-Beam, although being a bit gimmicky, is an excellent example. (My left arm often flies into the air when I sit in front of the Oasys. ) Obviously, adding physical controllers to ...

It would require another transition point in technology. I am already sold on OASYS, so it's difficult for me to see what more would be required turn so many heads. Additive synthesis is one that has not been reincarnated for a while in a hardware platform, if I'm not mistaken, and would sonically ...

Kenackr, T_Tangent: Did you just miss what Stralner posted, or am I missing something here?

This guy´ from korg tell´s us the best news ever....a promisse we can trust since it comes from Korg...right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQWu16SW1II Yesss! :D He's Steve McNally, I believe. After describing the current add-ons, @02:00 he proceeds to shout: And on into the future we shall go a ...

I know that it's in the Oasys, but it's not so comfortable if you're programming. That's whats I mean. A search function would be nice, but I really like it. I use the PDF manual and on-board manual together, that in addition with this forum has never left me in trouble. Perhaps Curvebender can ...
