You are definitely reading more between the lines than what exists. I never said any of these keyboards weren't "complete" machines... All three do far more than any other synth, workstation, or arranger made today bar none. Yes, there are some things that I need and want I'd like to see in future upgrades, but that doesn't make these keyboards "incomplete" or "works in progress."

The Oasys I truly love the sound of and the real time controls. Where it is weak for me is the sequencer and hard disk recorder. I do elaborate sequences/recordings and for what I do the Oasys isn't up to par yet. I'm sure that my needs probably exceed most users and that the sequencer and disk recorder it already comes with is quite sufficient, but for me its not. If Korg does not improve these features in a future OS then the Oasys won't be a true workstation for my needs (I stress my needs as yours may vary greatly from mine). Whether or not I keep the Oasys as a glorified synth (its an awesome synthesizer by the way), I can't say for sure right now.

Its clear to me that most of the people who have commented on the Mediastation have never actually seen or used one in person. This excludes Fran, Jonesyboy, Magica Alfa, Richard, Craig, and myself. Why is it that people who have never seen or heard the MS in person can bash the hell out of it? You do not know what the keyboard can do or how it truly sounds by hearing some lame MP3 demos. Stop postulating what you think it is, wait until you hear it or play it in person before you jump to conclusions. Does the MS need some updates? Sure, what keyboard doesn't? Domenik is working on those daily and I commend him for his efforts. You aren't about to find another manufacturer with a commitment to their product like Lionstracs and Domenik.

Wersi is the pinnacle right now but Domenik is on their heels and Wersi knows it. I'm sure Wersi won't just sit back and relax, they will also work on future hardware and software updates so that their OAS systems remain the most advanced and easy to use. They've been doing OAS style instruments longer than anyone else and it truly shows in their GUI, sounds, and feature set. For anyone, even the big three to come out of the gate with something that will supersede the Wersi, it will be damned difficult to say the least. Even Korg's Oasys couldn't do it and Korg has been developing the Oasys for the past 10+ years.

I wish luck to any manufacturer who wants to try and buck the system and come out with a premier open ended instrument. I can't wait to see what lies in store for the future!
