Korg was so ahead of their time. This board came out in 2005 and could be released today with updated ram and hardware. That being said, they screwed those who bought one by discontinuing support for it not too long after launch.
It kind of has been, this was the foundation of what would later become the KRONOS. That said, this was probably the last times one of the big synth companies made a flagship synth with a complete disregard to cost; it was like 8 grand if I recall? All that aside, I still remember the first time I saw one at Sweetwater back then and there was really nothing like it. In hindsight I think the mid to late 2000's were a pretty cool time for synths and that era often gets overlooked!
@Irife I own a kronos and love it. I had an opportunity to buy an oasys but passed it up for less than the kronos. It's simply too old, the components even for the kronos are getting hard to find.
@@forrestperkins6237 I have tossed the idea around a few times but yeah, its just not worth it in the end I think.
The newest version is called Nautilus, and they removed most of the performance controls.
Discontinued support you said? Two years ago I got answer and instructions from Korg on my problem with Oasys :)
by far and away, the best most influential workstation synth ever created and my absolute favourite. i just wish i could affird one ... thankyou for this demo ❤
KORG достойный аппарат!😁👍🇷🇺
2600 used here in switzerland......still expensive and super rare!!! usually no one sells it - its a monster
The definition of pro sound.
I bought a used OASYS 76 in Dec 2010 in great condition from a guy who had two units. I had wanted one for a couple 2-3 years but wouldn't pay new prices. Well VERY shortly after (months) Korg announced the Kronos. The Kronos is superior in software and had all 9 sound 'engines' vs the 7 in the OASYS (OASYS lacks the acoustic & electric piano engines). After the release of the Kronos, Korg made the 'optional' engines for the OASYS available for free.
I then bought a Kronos 73 in late 2012 with the RH3 fully weighted action, vs the semi weighted 6-octave keyboard on the OASYS. I still have both. The Kronos is right here next to me as I type this, whereas the OASYS hasn't been seen outside its case in a good while now. I guess it's clear which one I prefer ;-)
Blimey if the OASYS isn't a beautiful piece of hardware though, it's kind of insane Korg actually made something like it. I don't think I'll ever stop wanting one, but it just makes no sense compared to a second hand Kronos, which I'll probably end up getting soon now that I can actually afford one. I'm less bothered by Kronos being EOL than the lack of physical controls on the Nautilus, so not much of a choice really. Still, if I ever run into a well priced OASYS, I might just be persuaded to buy it just on the basis of how crazy it is :).
Maybe not known by many, Korg release the OASYS sound card around the year 2000 before the OASYS keyboard, it had much the same sound engines as they keyboard counterpart. I managed to purchase one, an ex-demo model from a musc store in London. If my memory serves me right I paid around £1500 which was extortinate for a sound card. The sad truth is that I could never get it to work correctly on my PC at the time. I ended up selling it at at loss for around £1200. Wish I would have held on to it as there was only a very limited amount made.
I have one, to my great surprise it only cost me £185 a while ago. The sounds it can produce are really quite something for the time, though polyphony is an issue. It's similar in concept to the keyboard OASYS, but the actual models are quite different, it has Minimoog and Prophet 5 emulation instead of MS-20 and Polysix, for instance.
It also has one thing Korg never implemented on it's keyboard descendants though: a fully featured SDK, SynthKit. This allowed third parties and even users to design entirely new synth engines from scratch, some of which are very interesting. I've heard very good things about the ones released by Harm Visser in particular, but unfortunately my efforts to find a copy have so far been in vain.
I remember them back in the day, pre keyboard.
I have one that I bought for 250$ a few years back.. never plugged it in though - any luck with the Harm Visser synths? He disappeared off the face of the earth along with his website. A version 2.0 includes the triton soundset.. synthkit has been released to the web also, but requires macOS@@ozzyp97
音色というより自動演奏強化ですね、さらなるシンセのステップアップとして
①足を使った操作を加える(演奏するものではない)自動演奏のスイッチ(操作スイッチ)更なる進化として目の動きで文字盤の操作ができる。
②操作画面をもっと大きく広く設置、ネットでつなげて音色、譜面、多彩な操作ができる、要するにシンセにパソコン付けたもの。
③持ち運び便利にシンセを分離できる。
Om 🎉grande saund la migliore 🎉
super dense punchy sound! 💥gorgeous synth! already a legend 💫✌😎👍
発売からもう16年以上は経っているはず。
しかし、これほど贅を尽くしたシンセサイザーは未だに見ていない。
クロノスやノーチラスといった後継機は出たが、いずれも見た目からコストダウンしていることは分かっていた。
特に鍵盤が…
正にOASYSこそオンリーワンのシンセサイザーだと思う。
A shame that Korg didn’t keep offering this form factor with Kronos internals.
They would have sold far fewer Kronos units at the price they would have needed to charge… but from a user's perspective, I agree.
Very interesting comments, thank you everyone :)
crazy, they released in 2005 what the kronos was 10 years later........almost the same
Good times. Almost twenty years ago. You must decide if you buy a car or the Oasys🤣🤣🤣
Una pregunta.
Ese teclado aparte de wokstation es arranger??
懐かしい 大阪日本橋sofmapmidilandへいじりに行っていた
その頃 三木楽器心斎橋で氏家さんのデモ演奏も観に行きました ヤマハモチーフだったかな
DnB sound from 20 years ago.
FS鍵盤モデルの最終モデルですね。欲しかったなぁ。
Hallo, ich habe eine Frage, im welschen Keyboard findet man die Shakuhachi Flute? Solche sound wie in Enigma Songs. Grüße aus Deutschland 😊
KARMA機能はたしかカーマだった記憶が😅
hello, which series can you recommend? Korg oasys vs kronos
It's strange that for so many years since 1995, KORG has not managed to remove the plastic sound!
Plastic is nearly vintage now anyway
haha i dont have a piano to practice on, but ive been using this keyboard which my dad got back in 2005. still works fine haha
It's a shame that Korg opted for the pitch joystick controller and not separate pitch/mod wheels.
Well then, it's just a personal preference
Ruichi Sakamoto?

JUGLE intro
I think the OASYS started Korg's slow downwards spiral into complete flagship stagnation. PC hardware that was already dated at the time paired with an OS and software that were undercooked and laggy (dear GOD those screens) as all hell. Korg learned absolutely nothing from this six years later and gave you the same exact thing with the Kronos - and they kept giving you that awful overpriced garbage for 10 years straight. Having a PC and workstation hybrid never made sense until recently with how good low-cost low-power CPUs have been getting. I love Korg, I really do. But they started periodically shooting themselves in the foot starting with the OASYS. Yes, the additional engines are neat. But with how much polyphony they suck up they really aren't worth it.
I have a great many of the most popular sw instruments I can run on my plenty-fast Mac. I bought an M1 in late '88 and have a few of the subsequent Korg workstaion models Korg released over the years (decades). The Linux-running OASYS & Kronos boot times are beyond absurd, BUT what I've yet to see in sw is a package of some kind running on a Mac or PC that gives you the no-fuss instantaneous switching between 'programs' & 'combis' on the scale of modern workstations. This facilitates flow & creation for many in a way that sw running on a standalone computer with sounds every bit as good or better cannot. Even if you're just writing on an OASYS or Kronos (or equivalent) to sketch out the idea, to later replace some or all of the parts with different sounds, these instruments still have a place for a lot of folks in creating, and of course are much preferred for live work vs a laptop for many.
@@Robert44444444 ROMpler style VSTs with instantaneous switching have been a thing for years and years, even from Korg themselves. I sold my Triton Extreme when the Triton VST came out but I still have my M1 for its lofi ADC. I also have a Fantom-XR (downsized from an X7) and a Motif XF, the latter is overall the best workstation I've ever owned and one I can happily use without a PC. The XF also shows that when done properly you CAN have a Linux-based (MontaVista in this case) system if you're smart about it. Korg made zero effort to optimize the Kronos and it shows, the XF even with a full 1GB expansion board boots up in less than a minute without an SSD. It also doesn't store the factory content in RAM iirc even if the switch is still instantaneous The Triton sequencer (which is still in the OASYS and Kronos) is absolutely abysmal.
Besides, CPU and SSD speeds are getting close to near instantaneous loading of even things like Eastwest OPUS instruments.
You have to remember that the OASYS project is from 1995 but due to its self cost at the time more than 21 thousand dollars it was divided into models such as trinity the synthesizers Z1, Prophecy and Karma and a powerful audio recording card with 8 channels for use and computer that was very expensive and lasted little on the market., only 10 years later with cheaper parts for computers korg launched Oasys with petium 4 processor. today any processor for smartphones is much superior but an example is the new akai mpc key 61 you will load very good electric piano sounds you have to wait 2 3 seconds this is terrible for live use it doesn't matter at all use a strong processor but not be optimized and in that korg does well for live use.
The Oasys was originally intended as a technology demonstrator. Korg engineers packed in every feature that they ever wanted in a keyboard. It was priced the way it was because it wasn’t a mass produced product, nor was it ever positioned as such. For those around it at the time of release, it was an insane revolution that gave the hardware keyboard world the shot in the arm that it needed to continue to grow. Everyone wanted one, few could afford it. The Kronos was the mass produced iteration that was the flagship that everyone else aspired to equal.
@@adriankeibord2 - it's funny you should say all this. It's mostly true. I attended a demo showing of a 'prototype' instrument Korg was calling "OASYS" at the NAMM Show in Anaheim in Jan '96. John Bowen of Sequential, then Korg R&D, and now maker of his own synth, the Solaris was the man conducting the demo and it sounded awesome. Later in '98 or '99 Korg offered the OASYS PCI… which is the 'card' you eluded to. It was ~$2,700 US list… and it was great, but bombed… too expensive and bit ahead of its time. I bought one in 2001 on closeout from Guitar Center for $399. It was a damn good product @ $400.
Lastly, I'd say for the brave and adventurous, there has long since been a methodology for hacking the Kronos (and presumably an OASYS as well) to be able to upgrade the hardware components (motherboard, processor, etc) and achieve faster response, greater polyphony (up to 200 voices with any engine/fx combination) and reduce the horridly long boot time. I'd have it done to both my OASYS & Kronos if there were someone in my part of the state offering the service (the software is the technical part)… but alas, it doesn't work that way.
