Boy you sound the "me me me and my my my generation..." That doesn't work well these day. In any event the Oasys not generating the class or quality of sounds YOU expect may only be a reflection on the lack of detailed input or even dedication you've made to program it. You can literally spend years getting new and exciting sounds. I think most of us know and agree that the Oasys can (with creativity) accomplish most anything. If you want the easy way out then go with a VST but there is no uprising needed for some well cherished by most of it's owners like the Oasys. The instrument is not the problem hear it's probably that the instrument is a bit complicated for you immediate needs or required gratification. Sorry this just does fly with me.

Jeff,

I don't know what you are using the O for but the O's pallette is there for your own creative work.
Are you saying that you are disappointed with all the sounds that one can create between the HD-1,Exi1,Exi2,Exi3,Mod7,......etc engines?
Or are you saying that Korg should program some more combi's and programs, perhaps more samples (e.g. Karo..) for us for free as time goes on?
Personally, I can spend many years digging through all the possibilities and still not get bored with the O.

Sound quality wise when I compare the O with for instance Logic, even products like NI...etc. The O is still the King.

What product in your opinion has a fuller sound compared to the O?

Answers to the above will help explain your position a little more......

The Oasys has had a bunch of upgrades (EXi and EXs) that include new sounds, if not so many combi's.

I am very happy with what was added up until last year, this year has been a little quiet in comparison to those "honeymoon years", but hopefully that is because they are working on something BIG and it's taking time

As you say there some other tools out there that are far better for certain tasks. Personally I prefer EzDrummer over any of the kits in the Oasys by a long way, but the breadth of the Oasys sound set and of course the ability to create your sounds with some v. high quality tools keeps it a winner here, and far from useless.

I will say that I am surprised that Korg didn't release any more HD-1 and AL-1 Programs back in the day, just to make it more compelling to workstation users who typically don't roll their own sounds and love having plenty on hand (Triton Extreme is a great example of that). Especially seeing the work that has been done on the M3 that seems to reflect that thinking.

Daz.

p.s. the community has 'risen up' on a number of occassions, especially in relation to the sequencer being so Tritony ... it never really got people anywhere. God knows I've risen up with regards to Program editing in Combi/Seq mode in my own small way, and I doubt that made the slightest difference, except cathartically.

I don't know if this survey is still active, but if you want to send your feedback/input to Korg then this is one avenue :

... not much of an up rising admittedly

HI Jeff

are you the same guy as of "Bowling for Columbine". What sounds are you looking for?? My guess would have been that the O would be a good match.

My musical taste is very much electonica including the sort of Nine Inch Nails gltichiness. Naturally that means a lot of the presets are of no interest to me apart from something to (as they say in the vernacular) f**k up with aggressive tweaking. Even the most mundane sound can be cruelly manipulated to my off centre tastes.

What are you missing?

Just a strange question.

If you were one of the first to get an O, why has it taken you almost 5 years to join the forum and voice this opinion?

I am just wondering if this is a scam post designed to get us all excited again, and start having a go at Korg. Especially as he is talking about lawsuits and the like.

How can anybody who knows this synth think it is useless anyway. I mean come on.

I think you will be flogging a dead horse on this one mate. All on this forum have been there, and done that several times before. It didn't get us anywhere then, and won't get us anywhere now. If you don't like the O, then sell it. Plain and simple. Don't come on here threatening law suits.

It's a not scam post, in fact Jeff's name should ring bells for some people.

Ok fair enough. It is just that as it is a first post, I wasn't too sure that was all.

It seems about time that just as another music show approaches, somebody would randomly join and start us all off. I didn't like the idea of the lawsuits either.

No probs, the thought did cross my mind too. Not to be unwelcoming to the OP, but we have had more than our fair share of mischief makers of the years. Oh yes

Another Moron and fanboy, FFS, he's right, the Oasys has been surclassed, the sounds are outdated. What a bunch of retarded you are....

Though the idea is very tempted, the only uprising you'll see is very early morning. Many have tried but couldn't afford to sustain it. To make things worse, those you whom intend to conspire with will be the ones to dampen your blanket instead. All I know is that it'll take a few real stallions to flex their muscles to make it happen for them. Now to be fair with the actual employees of Korg here in this site, they are simply the messengers and I'm sure they have raised their voice to the higher authority. But I agree with you in that the folks need to get out of their closet and do it right for once.

Hi MauroR.
Your opinion on the OASYS is something your welcome to, but I will not accept personal attacks on the forum.

I really don't know what your problem is and why you are pushing so hard to get kicked out of here, but if you do that again I will have no choice. What I've said in our emails is something you should really think about.

Take the time off yourself and have a break. You don't really want to get kicked out of here.

Regards.
Sharp.

Hear Hear Sharp. The only posts he ever makes seem to be negative and derogatory. Just one of life's born complainers methinks

Well done Sharp. Everybody should try and think to themselves that they are in the same room as everybody else when responding to someone on the forums. Image the people you are talking to are facing you. Would you talk to someone like that face to face? How rude!!! Hell, i would never make friends with someone like that or invite them to my house.
