Hi Bill,

You wrote:
As to the Wing, I couldn�t care less if it is sold to aliens or takes over the world, it doesn�t do what I want, and so for me is a complete irrelevance.

Care to elaborate as I'd really would like to know what the differences are between the AOS and the System the Pegagus Wing uses? What would you missing out on were you to get the Wing vs. what you're having now?

As you already know, I'm a big fan or Wersi but, unfortunately, there's isn't much out on the Wing yet. Understandable, of course, although others don't seem to think so.

Hi Taike

1. Less Pre-sets
2. Less Layers
3. Less Editing
4. No DSP Card
5. No Akai Import
6. No User VST
7. Less option packs (At least at the moment)

There are also quite a few other features missing as well.

On the upside, it is based on OAS 7 & the OAA (Although if you tried it you probably wouldn�t know it) and it does pull ahead of OAS 7 by running Windows 7 and has an SSD as standard. (OAS 7 makes do with XP and a HDD)

The biggest difference however, is that the Wing is designed to sound correct right OOTB, just like the Yamaha, Korg, Roland Arrangers etc. (Press a button and everything is set up for you) whereas OAS 7 gives you the basic setups thus allowing you to do your own thing straight OOTB. (The limit is your imagination)

For most users this is all that they want, (Hence the reason the Wing was introduced) but for me it�s like all hardware arrangers, being just to limiting for what I want.

Hope this helps

Bill

Thanks you, Bill. You explained it in terms even I can understand. Still have some questions, though.

Less presets: still quite a substantial number, I'd say.

Less layers: how many layers, Bill?

Less editing: what are the limitations?

Less option-packs: I'm sure there'll be more. We have to keep in mind that the Wing's just out.

No DSP card: this'll affect downloading time and latency?

Is the Wing upgradable like its predecessors?

Regards

Taike

Hi Taike

LAYERS---------OAS 7---------Wing

Upper/right----- 3/4-------------2
Lower/Left------2/3-------------2
Pedal-----------1/2-------------1

EDITING

No Sound Control
No Drum editing
Very simple editing of all other options

DSP

A modern CPU can take care of all the Wings on-board systems, as there are less of them compared to OAS 7.

Full Software/hardware upgrades/updates will be available as in OAS 7

The Wing manual can be downloaded here

Hope this helps

Bill

Thanks again, Bill.

The website's (Wing manual) currently unavailable. Will try again later on.

Bill, still not really sure about the software/hardware. Do you mean the Wing will have future updates such as the OAS has? In other words, will there be future updates after OAS7?

EDITING

No Sound Control
No Drum editing
Very simple editing of all other options

I'm fine with that as I'm not technically proficient anyway. As long as the Wing can be updated as the other OAS instruments can, I'm fine.

Hi Bill,

I downloaded the manual at Wersiclub-UK.

My question has been answered.

Thanks for your kind help.

Taike
