Not happy with my OASYS.

Post by Sharp »

lol.... Yeah... not happy... err...more like ....can't find the words that can do it any justice.

I'm in the Studio here tonight working my ass off late at night, and while I'm waiting for the next batch of coffee to kick in, I have to just laugh to myself and sit back in my chair while looking at the OASYS from a distance.

The difference this keyboard has made to my music is simply priceless. I'm soooooo happy with my setup now that I feel I had to take the time to mention this here for no real reason at all.

KORG, Jerry, Dan, Brandon, Stephen, Ski... and the many names I'm leaving out. Guys... !!!! I know you already feel very proud of what you built, but I have to wonder. Do you REALLY know how much this has effected people on so many different levels.

Karma v2 on it's own just blows my mind as to how much of a realtime song writers tool it is and more. Even when your dry for ideas Karma just keeps you going.

Regards.
Sharp.

Here is a vid i posted on youtube - just an 'on the spot' Live improv using simple chord progressions and Karma. Sometimes Karma can be a real challenge to play (in reference to live playing ). Sometimes I am Scared of Karma - in some instances I think to myself i would be intimidated to play it Live... but I Dont want people to think it is just a ONE Finger left hand accompanyment. So Sharp, yeah, I agree, the flow of Karma just helped me come up with the improv below - this is Karma that kept me going - its not me?... mmmm something like that

Amen to that! :wink: I'm just getting to grips with how all the Modules and parameters work and I must say its given me a new edge to song creation.I've locked myself away with just the Oasys for the last few Months and really delved deep into the Karma side of things,like I never have before with a Workstation,
I think for me anyway the biggest obstacle was learning all the fundementals of Karma parameters,now I'm getting to grips with it more I see how superb it is and its really starting to pay off.

I just wish there was a way to create your own Karma phrases internally without having to utilise the Software.

Lol! you do that too? :lol: :D I thought that was just me standing around the coffee machine begging it to hurry! :D :lol:

You caught me quite off guard with the title! :) Which was no doubt the intention. :x :D I was so shocked to see that you would Post something lyk that but than after reading it I couldn't agree with you more.There are no words to describe the awesome, incredible, phenomenal feeling and joy that comes from the Oasys. The community that surrounds it only makes it so much better. Thanks for posting this. It always encouraging to hear someone in love with it as much as I am. (Although u probably much more than me :lol: :D )
