The Oasys was a great concept although poorly executed. The synth sounds were phenomenal but as a whole I wouldn't classify it as a usable workstation. The sequencer and audio recorder were merely afterthoughts and because Korg used a 16 BIT sound card for the audio with limited track count, it couldn't be remedied without a hardware change.
Korg's inability to do significant software changes other than adding some new sound engines wasn't enough to make it what it should have been from the onset. As an Oasys owner who became disgruntled with Korg's lack of software support and bug fixes, I sold my Oasys in hope that one day they'd get it right and I'd jump back on board. Now it seems that will never happen.
I doubt there will ever be an Oasys II as the Oasys itself didn't sell well and in this business it's a numbers game. Now Korg will use variations of the Oasys technology in many other Korg products to recoup their R&D costs.

The Oasys project was not so much about selling as it was about marketing and development..
The technicall knowledge gained with Oasys will be the core of the future Korg products for the next ten years to come...
People complaining about the medicore DAW functions in Korg don't grasp the product... Oasys was all about sounds and KARMA...
