Hardware keyboard manufacturers are just too late with coming out with keyboards like the OASYS.
Most people who would want a keyboard like that would have a studio already with a computer, some softsynth, and hard ware equipment.
We are already hearing people say that 1. for that price, they can get a comparable or better set-up using separate components and 2. They would prefer to have things separate.
The only thing that people would want the OASY for is its sounds although they could get comparable sounds using softsynths.
For that price, perhaps the only people who would get it are persons who want the show that they have the prestige to get it or some one who does not have a studio already.
Hardware keyboard manufacturers have allowed computers and software programs to do what conventional keyboards should have been doing years ago. And now it is just too late.
But having said that, I still would not mine checking keyboards like that out. May be there is something in keyboards like that that we are not seeing as yet.
