the video is 30 minutes long!

MUAHAHAHAHA! Good Lord this sounds like crap! The same drums as on Triton series... No... NO! ?????????!

I can only say no-one will buy this, really. No-one.

Edit: For a second I thought Korg had made something totally incredible, but Korg did what I should have expected from Korg: Bad sounding overpriced junk.

I'm really dissapointed. All this waiting for another overpriced Triton-sound-a-like.

Bwahaha. Piece of.. I don't think this will end well for Korg

Got to admit that I did like those harmonics he got out of it when he was playing the acoustic guitar. That was pretty sweet!

Is anybody else wondering why they spent soooooo much time on the PCM side of the synth. We could hear all that stuff in the triton. They need to showcase more of the VA/Physical modelling/FM/. . . . . . . . .

Alright, prices confirmed. $7999 and $8499 at sweetwater. This is the demise of Korg. F#$%in unbelievalbe. All it is is a remodeled triton case with a 10-year old chip in it.

Yup. When Korg had its slight monopoly it forgot how to compete. Instead of new products and lower prices Korg competes with old products and higher prices.

I have to agree, the sounds on the video did not impress me in the least. I have a Triton Pro-X, which has been relegated to sampling use during live performances (because the sounds in the unit are just not up to snuff). As a live performance tool, I think the Triton is fine. However, if they really intended for the OASYS to be such a studio/production workhorse, why didn't they hire better people for the sound design aspect of it? I can't see many people buying one. Let's, see, for about the same price, you can have a Mini, Virus Ti, Fantom, and couple lower priced rack units.

Also, the OASYS would look cool onstage, but who wants to an $8000 board into a live performance situation and risk water, shock, or the occasional guitar falling onto it? Doesn't do it for me...
