Firstly, can I say that I never would have wanted anyone to think that I was knocking the Korg products for sound and some fantastic features, they certainly have that. My gripe is that it took some time before the factory would even give creedence to the faulty leds and boards that were installed in models, you say "irish acts" these are only early models, i think there is still some conjecture in forums as to whether that may be the case.
I felt uncomfortable in live situ with the board and the worry was that it would freeze and fail at gigs when i could least afford it, so thats why I sold the pa2x, and i'm probably sure that it will be a good servant to its buyer, after the intevention by Music Link Australia to fix the ailing parts, I just wonder I hope that the ongoing probs in the factory have really been corrected and the next release will have a more stable outcome.

The Oasys, the best sounding $15k Synth ever made, no doubt about it, I sold mine for $6k 88 noter, almost cried, but as I said so anoyed that Korg really led us up the garden path with the "this is the one to end them all" promotions and speech, and I know that if Gerry and Dan at Korg could have prevailed over the Japanese heads of the company, this may have turned out differently.

On to Audya, I think I said kick ass drums and bass with the SD3/SD5 but Audya at $10k Aus is way too high, I learnt my lesson with the Oasys never again, and as I said the costing of the Tyros 3 and the Fantom G7 at less than the Audya, is going to make it an awfull hard sell, even at a perfect release. So what I hope and I'm sorry to say, particulary for those who have parted with cash, is that Audya will be at some stage be Audya2 perfected, a price to match or even not so far away from its competitors, and then i'm in town!!!
