I’ve read this thread with interest.

I have no comment about Oasys one way or the other.
My comment is the synth business is in a sad state of affairs.

So much time and energy focused on bringing out software emulations
and even hardware DSP emulations of old technology.

(I have a DX7, Prophet-5, Access Virus T1, Korg Triton, Roland V-synth,
Roland FantomXR, Nord Rack3, Nord Modular G2,Yamaha Motif, Poly-Evolver over 40 synths here in all).

As a new product designer I saw Karma like software in Israel in
the late 80’s

Where are the REALLY new breakthroughs????????????

It is time to stop emulating old stuf. (Yes it sounds good, but
is it slowing down progress)?

Time to stop patching together a bunch of "pieces" of exsisting stuff
and calling it "new".

============= Raving stops ========================

My answer to initial question still is, don’t borrow money.
If you must have it, work hard, save, pay cash !!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, what a boring answer ..........................
