This is a totally different products, more simple to use and more affordable price ( is around 1100 euro)

2 I'm looking for something more advanced like the MiKo.

Hi DJ.

Why the rush ?.

Are you just looking for something compact and new to bring to Colombia with you for the 6 months while you are away from your OASYS ?. I don't really understand why you are putting your OASYS into storage when the cost of that alone would be less than shipping the OASYS to you in Colombia.

Regards
Sharp

umm, first of all, I think it's a fantastic product and I wish all the success in the world.

But...you might want to seriously rethink the graphics aspect of it before releasing the product. No, I'm no artist, and yes, aesthetics are of course subjective. But as mentioned by other posters, the lettering, and the white areas on black...dunno, maybe get rid of the white and just make the letterings white so most of the area is black (again, am NOT an artist :oops: )

Anyway, what happened to that great Italian artistic design? :shock: :D

One major difference for me is the red has a joystick and the black has mod wheels. Will they both be available? I prefer joysticks over mod wheels.

Hey Sharp,
one is that I'm leaving for Colombia Nov 15th. Two is that I don't trust them to ship it there and once its there I have no place to put as our travel vehicle is....well TINY! :D It would just be unwise to put such a machine as the O at such a risk of having it down there with me. so yeah I'm looking for something much more Compact. I have my M3 so its not liek a must but ...its a really big Like :D

This is the Expander version, with the all same features as the keyboards models.
with the X6 Expander model, you can connect one or more external Master keyboards ( like the 88 hammer action) and play over it with the all X6 features too.

I have a question.

What PC board formfactor are you using? is it ATX? or mini-ITX?
What about the power supply?


I also have to agree with some other users here. The panel silkscreen looks awful. very bold and brash and 90s. it would help if you lowered the 'contrast' as such, make the white areas darker so that they don't stand out completely against the black background.

Also, as a keyboardist playing on stage, it is always very important to me that the keyboard on the front of my rig has a great looking back panel end. In this case, I wouldn't put this on the front of my rig, the way it is currently. Anything that goes on view on stage needs to look good, from the audience's perspective a least.
also, I know it is probably functional in order to make space for the internal components, but I also found that massive height difference from the keyboard and front panel quite off-putting. It looks like it might be quite difficult to reach the panel controls whilst playing that way.

Don't get me wrong, it looks set to be a great product, and something I've been expecting for a long time, but you might want to put a bit more thought into the visual design of it.

Hi all,

I have visited the company Liostracks in meran and would like to thank Domenico for his time and hospitality...
The Groove demo was huge and above all the devices seen in the original much better than the photos from.
Domenico has shown us many plug-ins on the groove and the sound is class!

Best regards,

Kurt

Hi Kurt.
That's great news, lucky you.

If you have anything to share about your time hands on with the keyboard, I'm sure people will be very interested in hearing what you have to say.

Regards
Sharp.
