Anyone have any info on this board? I saw at Sweetwaters site that Korg is going to reveal a new keyboard on the 20th of this month. I wonder if it's a synth or arranger.

Some think it will be a new Synthesizer and some think it will be a new Workstation Keyboard that will replace the Triton series. Others think it will be a Rack Mount version of an existing technology.

On Korg's Home Page it gives you a glimpse into what it might be, i.e. - "The Next Chapter" flash animation that loads on the screen.

Best regards,

Korg Oasys

Basically a sample playback workstation incorporating Korg's Wavestation and Karma technologies; it is expandable so that other synth technologies can be added. While not an arranger, the updated Karma function will allow one-button switching among 8-variations of a pattern generated using chord recognition. There are eight velocity-sensitive chord-trigger buttons, so you can pre-program complex chords that you don't want to finger. The big omission from an arranger perspective is the lack of vocal harmony.

The Oasys incoporates hard disk recording and can burn to an internal CDR. Four analog ins, two with phantom power, 10 analog outs, digital i/o, for sampling and for adding effects to inputs.

I looked at the teaser that Mike pointed out. I counted 8 mini-pics, here are my best guesses of what they show.

1. A shot of a side panel.
2. Sliders with leds to indicate present value. The specs indicate there are nine of these sliders, corresponding to nine drawbars on an organ.
3. A view of the LCD display showing drawbars, probably corresponding to the slider settings.
4. A shot of the "multipads". There are eight and these are the velocity-sensitive soft-touch "multi" pads, used for triggering chords and drum sounds.
5. Knobs with LEDs, used for Karma parameter control and for varying other synth parameters in real time. There are eight of these.
6. A display shot of a sample editing screen.
7. A display shot of a Karma parameter editing screen.
8. A display shot for editing filter parameters.

Good Lord I can't even imagine what the price tag on this thing would be. I'd probably have to trade in my Lincoln for one of these puppies..
