say what you want.. t he oasys is a "HOT" board.. that list you put together is very nice.. but .........
it doesn't nearly add up to the sound and convience of the oasys..

as you guessed it.. i love that board.. and yes i'm going to get one...

the fact is that no other board and or plug in can knock it down pound for pound in the sound category.. if i'm correct, it natively runs higher that 44.1 and it sounds like it..

sure you can get all the components to put something together like an oasys, but it's definitely not the same.. you have to worry about everything talking together, having the right drivers, the cc message, that cc message, this and that.. the oasys is very nice and neatly packed into one package with hyped up pentium chip that runs an os that does nothing but run the board.... no this kernal or that registry.. it's meant to work and sound good and that's what it does.. it has mic pres.. 10 outputs, adat, 4 usb ports, pads to play, you can record actual audio tracks with it--(yes i know the phantom can achieve this.. and maybe even the motif-not sure), it has a mixer, big wide touch screen, and did i mention that it sounds great.. no need for finding the right set of plug ins and other crap or the right combination of stuff that will work well together when the temperature is right under the cherry moon with the next os updates.. and hey, don't get me wrong.. i'm not mad at plugs, but let's face it.. only a handfull can really make the cut like spectrasonics and some NI stuff.. after that.. it's just a bunch of so so immulations.. hey for each his own.. but if you want those sounds that's going to seperate you from the rest of the pack and something that looks like korg is going to put some serious backing behind.. then the oasys is the way to go.. quick note.. it if you're not a pretty decent keys player or some very well paid producer type or your aunt just left you a few hundred grand then you may not want to tread these waters and look into "the list" it's a decent list.. but the oasys is the real deal baby.. no other keyboard can touch it.. and if you don't believe me, call yamaha and roland on it.. they give you the same rap as everyone else--"the price tag"... just continue to ask them what can they do/or planning to do about the oasys.. some of you cats will spend half the price of and oasys on a microphone... why wouldn't a good keys player or producer put some real cash on a real peice of equipment? i will say that would probably want a decent daw just for mixing or be ready to go to a studio for some mixdowns.. but if you can get your hands on an oasys and listen to the classical demo and what the mixdown in real time may not need the other facilities.
