I spent an afternoon with the oasys on demo and while i understand that its a very high specd workstation,with high quality sound, that this isnt necessarily what people are after. im so sick of going into music retailers and seeing and hearing these dry, souless,boring, keyboards it makes me wanna cry. for me it should all be about being able to produce incredible sounds and not about the feature set. i dont give a toss about a touchscreen, how much ram lack of alisasing etc. none of my analogue synths ever suffered from an alisasing problem anyway.
analogue synthesis is the best sounding bar none and thes digi boards dont do it for me.synth manafacturers such as korg need to take a risk and not just bring out repackaged boring products such as oasys and radias. they should design hi grade analogue based instruments that can have their filters and mixers and input stages distorted and abused. The real immediacy of a great analogue interface is still missing from the oasys-there are still too many menus. Come on synth manafacturers when was the last time that any of the big players (korg/roland/yamaha) actually pushed the envelope for real? my emu e4 has much better sounding filters than the oasys and thats a 12 year old product.
you synth manafactures cant fool me with your hot-rodded repackaged boring cumbersome,ugly,dry sounding boards.
go away and come back when you design something interesting
bye.
