Bill,


The Kronos was both a step forward as well as a few steps back compared to the Oasys. As a former Oasys owner I truly loved the sound and real time controls of the instrument. What I didn't like was the limited abilities to use it as a full blown workstation as it was touted. I hung around and waited for updates that never came to fruition. Once I saw the writing on the wall I knew Korg was going to pull the plug so I bailed on the Oasys before prices tanked.

It was very sad really. Having owned both the Oasys and Wersi I tried to get Korg to integrate similar features so the Oasys would become a monster. Rather than move forward they decided instead to trickle Oasys features down to lesser instruments to increase sales in lower priced instruments. Whatever the successor of Kronos is I hope its a major step forward. Korg is definitely on the right path.
