I was at the Korg both today and got to see and hear the OASIS. Was I impressed? Not really! I don't get excited much any more with keyboards costing in a range that only a few studio musicians and road touring musicians can afford. It sounded good, but then again, I think just about every keyboard out there on the market today such as motif, triton, fantom, etc. all have steller sounds.
Korg has decided to only sell these models, probably because they don't want to produce to many because of a lower volume sales item, to just a select few dealers in each sales market. So I know in the LA area that only certain guitar centers or sam ash stores will display and sell these.
I think it is the kind of keyboard that every "want to be" studio musician will be spending hours just playing but not purchasing this new keyboard. Only time will tell.
