Title: An interesting story about the Korg Oasys.... Post by: elwoodblues1969 on February 17, 2009, 12:07:22 AM When I had wandered into my local GuitarCenter to check out the action of the M-Audio Axiom Pro,I fidgeted with the Korg Oasys that was on display(only retailer to do so),& there was a clearance sign on top of the board that read; $5,000(for an 88-key!). :-
Of course,I naturally assumed that the clearance price was for the display model,so I asked a salesman about it,because I was unhappy with the fact that this keyboard had been on display for years & the joy-stick was broken on it. The salesman's response to my concerns,was that if there was a new Oasys 88-key left in stock,that he would honor the clearance price.....imagine that,a Korg Oasys for 5 grand!! As it turned out,the display model was all that was left & GuitarCenter was no longer carrying the Oasys,period. :'( I'm not too broken up about it though,because I would have had no choice but to trade in my Korg Triton Extreme,just to make a down payment on it....which also would have meant that I would have to exclude my plans for buying any computer gear.....it's nice to dream though. :D -Thom Title: Re: An interesting story about the Korg Oasys....

On the other hand, I have so mush fun with my M3 combined with the Virus and soft synths. The Oasys is great... but still one device. Me, I'm happy to find inspiration from complementary products? so I'll stick a while with the M3 and from time to time dream of the mighty Oasys.... ;)
