[Fearless1]

This thread got me curious, so I tried one for about 3 hours at the Big Box.
Unfortunately, there was no sales person that really knew how to make the thing sound like I wanted it to. Not surprised, since Big Box Boys are really no more knowledeable than Macy's undergarment counter sales ladies. This was evident when the salesperson left me to try to convince another customer to buy a Behringer pre.

Two sounds would wow me to purchase the keyboard. The high price of the Oasis really doesn't matter to me.

The number one sound, can it emulate a Hammond B-3?
I was looking for that sound set with the Chorous on C3 and the first 4 drawbars pulled out with the tubey fat almost metallic distortion and plastic horn resonance from the Leslie.

Nothing even close came out that thing. The Leslie emulation was one of the worst I've heard!

Other than the real thing, the closest portable keyboard I have that has a "it passes for now" is my Roland VR 760 through my Motion Sound 145.

The number two sound I want is that fat analog sound of my old Oberheim Obx-a.
Again, I couldn't get that fat sound out of that thing. It sounded pretty anorexic to me.

I wasn't testing the piano sounds in detail, because I have a Yamaha grand.
(It would be great to emulate the pedal noise)

So is the Oasis worth it?
Not to for me.

So Korg, if you're listening, make those two sounds like I described above and I would buy it at your asking price.
