You didn't mention how much you PAID for your two (!) CMI III's............ (lucky guy!)

I know how good they could be (used one in NYC long time ago) but was really posting about the shocked reaction to Oasis' high price point. I think if you convert from 70's dollars, any of the (then) top-of-the-line regular synths (T8, Chroma etc.) were as much as an Oasis NOW, and PLENTY of players forked out for them!

As of yet, I don't think NeKO or Mediastation (or other 'soft-hardware keyboards) are quite stable enough or have high enough polyphony to challenge the Oasis as top-of-the-heap, but inside a year or so I think that approach will rule.......... So, in a way, Oasis IS in the same position, market-wise, that Fairlights and Synclaviers were in the 70's, but at an incredibly lower price point.

We should be dancing in the streets, not whining about the price!!
