Well I just bought one the other day and I also happen to have the Open Labs Miko. No comparison. The Open Labs is a fine toy with great looks but hey are you into keyboards for the show or for the sounds? If the answer is the sounds, then definately go for the Korg Oasys if you can make the 7000k cause it’s worth every penny. It’s just hell to get familiar with all the features and unfortunately there is no video tech support for the beast.

I own a Korg Triton Extreme plus the Korg D3200 32 trax HDD recorder. I run this on with CubeBase on my P.C. Great results plus half the cash. Also the average person cannot hear the difference. Sure if you have a trained ear the difference is obvious. But if my wife and my mother cant tell well…..arent they (ie the general publc) the true judge. Plus how long is the learning curve????

A bit too complex for me………..and yes..i could buy one tomorrow, but the wife would have me neutered!!!!!

I’ve had the opportunity to demo this Board. Soundwise it is great.Fat sounds great drums Perfect. But i also own a roland x-8. Of course no comparison. system to system.But for me the bottom line to is arrangement. No matter what you use if your not a good arranger it aint gonna matter much. I just landed a deal using my x8 and a jv2080.Im also an midi / digital engineer and vocalist.Yes once the smoke clears i will most likely purchase this board because overall superb quality.So arrangement plus coupled with an oasys my be the hook up. the only thing i would like to see is more midi tracks and audio.
also i guess you can hook up external hardives?
how about this protools verses oasys?

If the Korg OASYS is based on Linux, then how much of the software is GPL? Does this mean that Korg has to publish the software or make part of it available to the Open Source community?

If it is based on Open Source Linux, then shouldn’t the Source Code, or the GPL portion anyway, be made available?

what about storage? can you connect external hard drives to it..So all that is required is two reference monitors? and you’ve got a studio.
i wish it had more or unlimited mid and audio tracks available (of course based on the amount of memory available.
