You can do all the
PR and self-justification of your purchase you like, but stick to the facts.
1. Korg has been pimping and re-pimping this same idea in different incarnations for YEARS now. I know because I have a useless Oasys card that was the "end all be all" from a few years back. Do some research, they tried to sell this as an idea almost 10 years before this too. No go. No takers.
2. It is nothing more than a collection of synths, parts and ideas from their other Korg products and R&D (many of which are great). BUT, it is NOT "apples and oranges" to compare this synth/workstation to "is it better than a new Moog or PolyEvolver or Absynth or Nueron because those all represent different, synths, ideas and sounds creation devices, some good, some not, some standing the test of time...some not...i.e. the Oasys, except, this is one piece, that I dare say will be outdated sooner rather than later...
...as I look at my "Oasys" card sitting useless in the closet. (Hey Korg, may I update MY Oasys with your NEW Oasys, please?)
Hey, this may sound good or even great. But for $8 grand, you can get ALL sorts of GREAT synths (and most of the "amazing sound" already IN the board from other Korg pieces, that's supposed to be a competitive advantage), diversify and maybe even protect a little investment.
I'm just suggesting, try and look at something for its actual merits, not your justification.
Oh, and to saysomething is a "hit" just because of numbers is not the best reason to go out and invest. Enron numbers looked good
How are those Control24s selling for second-hand these days? Beatles sales are still going strong, how is Britney doing.... going, going, gone.
