Is Korg going bankrupt?

[chinard]

These threads always crack me up.

So many people with strong opinions that have never heard or tried it in the first place.
Basing their bashing purely on a pricetag that is way out of reach of your average home musician is just silly. You dont hear people on car forums bashing the price of the latest top of the line Astin Martin, BMW, or Ferrari.
Someone also brought up a reasonably good point in abother thread here about the original tag price of the Jupiter 8 being $6000 or some of Kurzweil's overpriced monsters.

I look at it this way. The only way i would be buying the oasys is if my studio burned down and i got a crapload of insurance money to replace my gear.
In this respect i could easily shrink most of my studio into this one machine.

Also, the oasys is nothing new. This is technology that they abandoned a few years ago that they are bringing back with alot of other brand new technologies.
What does this mean to the average home studio musician?
Nothing right now, but I'd wager that korg will be releasing dozens of smaller products to spin off the new technology found in the oasys.
If you actualy look under the hood of the oasys, its pretty similar to the Eko Opensynth. All built on PC components. I'm seeing a huge potential for PC accessories taken from the oasys.
