I appreciate your other kind comments, as well as your wish that the OASYS PCI card had been more successful. I also have no wish to comment on any comparisons to other products, other than previous Korg products, as below.
I think it's necessary to address the "nothing more than" idea, however, since this is factually untrue in so many ways that it would not be appropriate to post all of them here. Suffice it to say that the basis of the system is entirely new, providing (among other things) dynamic voice allocation between diverse synthesis models, which is something that no plug-in based system can do AFAIK; that the PCM oscillators are new, and provide the best realtime interpolation available; that the VA oscillators are new, free of audible aliasing throughout the entire 88-note range, even with sync enabled; that the STR-1 plucked string modeling synth improves on previous Korg plucked-string models in various ways; that a good number of the effects are new; and that various parts of the voice architecture are either new or dramatically improved (such as the new AMS Mixers, fast/smooth EGs and LFOs updated every 32 samples and synced to the sample rate, wave sequencing with more new features than old and synced to the sample rate, Multi Filter variable/modulatable filter, etc.).
