The posts on this thread have certainly opened my eyes.

I am a long time Technics fan, who has bought a Tyros3 as insurance against my KN7000 dying on me and have been struggling to make my music sound as good on the T3 as it does on the Technics. As a result, I have made a few postings on various sites, expressing my opinion about the T3 - mainly that, apart from a few voices, I like the Technics sounds better - even prefer Technics styles too and I believe that I've made myself a little unpopular with these statements.

After reading of the Oasis, I went in search of some demo's and actually found demo's of the Korg M3 first.

What an eye opener - I never knew such quality sounds existed on any keyboard and find it hard to imagine how the M3's sounds can be beaten by the Oasis but I take your word for it.

I am aware that there is a big difference between an arranger and a synth/workstation but the bottom line is - after comparing Technics & Yamaha sound-wise, it turns out that they both sound like sh*t after hearing the M3.

Why then, don't Korg incorporate these sounds in their arranger keyboards - I for one, would be willing to pay the asking price for a board with this quality of sound.
