As I said, these artists' commitment to this instrument will be displayed in the next few years, as they continue to play it while newer, more powerful instruments come out.
...and as also noted previously, some might say that a level of commitment has already been demonstrated by paying for the instrument with their own hard-earned cash!
And, while we have you here, how about some confirmation as to the Oasys's demise, and whether there is an Oasys MkII in the works, or has Korg bailed on the $8000+ keyboard market...?
I think you're savvy enough to not expect answers to questions about future product plans. :-)
It must definitely be hard to be making hardware items such as this in the days of software and multi-core computer CPU's

The tricks are to make instruments with technically superior algorithms, resulting in noticeably better audio quality; to make those algorithms and their environment computationally efficient, so that the musician isn't significantly hampered by performance limitations; and to create sounds which use those algorithms and our hardware controllers to good musical effect. We are fortunate to have many good people working for Korg, and can make all of that happen.
