Yeah, I wonder why. It's a huge mystery to all of us. Here's one theory: maybe it's because your rampant negativity already sucked the air out of this thread long ago. After spewing endless criticisms about OASYS and refusing to accept the insightful information provided by Dan, one of its developers (a.k.a. one who knows what the hell he's talking about), you've called the OASYS a "bloated Casio" and repeatedly suggested that yours is the sole voice of reason, the mightly self-appointed opinion maker who represents the GS consumer in all of this. Now you think it's time to start a constructive dialog? Too late. Nobody wants to play ball with you any more. Your credibility has been shot.

A few people (myself included) have already suggested that they think the OASYS is a worthy, impressive instrument but you're conveniently ignoring those valid viewpoints. If you're expecting 100 users to parachute into this thread gushing about the OASYS, it's not going to happen -- GS is the wrong place and this is the wrong thread. But making the logical leap to suggest that the OASYS is worthless because nobody is responding to your loaded questions is total horseshit. Sometimes it's not about the question, but how it's asked and by whom.

You've repeatedly bragged about the fact that you own or have owned every desireable synth on the earth and your ability to afford any synth that comes along -- good for you. Why not just go buy something else and leave it alone? Voting with your wallet will send the strongest message to Korg that you're not interested in OASYS. Or better yet, why not develop a better instrument and show Korg how it's done? Remember, you're the guy with all the ideas. You're always right. You have your finger on the pulse of synth buyers everywhere. Why not expend your energy in some positive way?
