You're right; the Fairlight and Synclavier's wave sequencing, VA, hammond modeling, physical modeling, etc. are far superior. Oh, wait, I got that wrong; the Fairlight and Synclavier don't even do any of those things (though Synclav system R has basic, additive-based wavetables).

I'm curious - before making the statement above, did you actually place the OASYS (not your OASYS PCI) up against the Fairlight and Synclav in your studio, or in anyone else's?

Please note also that I spent a summer on a big Synclav with Poly, and owned a small Synclav system as well (FM only, if you please).

As has been noted, they're pretty good so far, and the price has remained steady over the year it's been out. I'm not in sales, though; I do product concepts, specs, manuals etc.

Hey, I understand, you're defending your job, but your R & D job should be "Research & Development," not "Repackage & Dismiss."
WTF? Either you haven't been reading what I've written, or you're willfully disregarding it to continue an argument. If anyone else is curious, see my posts above; it's quite difficult how anyone who knows much about OASYS could characterize it as a "repackaging."

I'm sorry that you have a negative impression of the product, however. Different strokes for different folks.
