Oh wow, how did you get an opportunity like this? What did you think? Why are you teasing us?

You actually didn't demo anything!

well, it was a useful demo. It contained some answers to technical questions:

a)

Q: how do you deal with the small-printed and not-so-defined lcd if you have big fingers?

A: you NEVER really touch the screen, you just point a finger at it from afar

b)

Q: and what about the keyboard? how does it feel?

A: don't touch it, and it will feel wonderful. Keeping your right hand tucked under your armpit will enhance the experience

c)

Q: how do you change combi on the fly when demoing live?

A: you don't. you keep the demo brief so you need just one combi.

d)

Q: how do you tackle the convoluted nippo-geekish prose of the manual?

A: you just speak Hungarian, and suddendly Korg English will sound easy.

etc etc

Thanks Akos, keep up the good job.

I made two presentations. The recorded material is about 2 hours. I will need some time to complete the edited short version. Please be patient.

ONE thing I know for sure:

no matter what Korg's policy is,

in Akos' presentation of Kronos, Oasys WAS mentioned at least once.

Or: maybe he didn't mention it, but he at least hinted at it.

Like: "you see, this button? It wasn't there in a certain well known synthesizer which I won't mention here, but whose name starts with O... and ends with ...discontinued and never upgraded",

or something like that

Looking forward to viewing your edit of your presentation, Akos. It's great to see each different demonstrator's take on the new instrument.

Thanks everyone.

PS. Ozy, you really want me to waste my time here responding to your personal attacks or mocking?

Thanks Akos for taking the time to bring us more awaited info.
Shooting the video is one thing but editing and uploading is a chore..

Not at all, it's my pleasure. I have to work on this quite a lot, I just want to show the best moments, and I probably will have to make some English subtitles, I don't know yet. (I've also recorded the sound directly from Kronos, so I will have to replace the audio track of the video recording, too.) What I know, after spending some time with the Kronos, that it IS a dream instrument.
