From the moment you feast your eyes on the OASYS, you're acutely aware that great care has been taken to ensure a marvelous end-user controlled experience. But, it's what you CAN'T see - the heart of the OASYS - that just might make you think twice about what a workstation should be. Built on an open architecture, the OASYS comes complete with everything you loved about the past, all that you need to produce in the present and anything you can dream up in the future. Why? As a fully integrated workstation, the OASYS is fueled by new, proprietary software and an operating system that offers an immense amount of power right out of the box while looking to the future toward new instruments, sounds and yet undreamt of capabilities. The OASYS just might be the smartest investment you could make in your musical career.
It all begins with sound. OASYS delivers a level of realism and sound quality that is a new milestone for a professional musical instrument. OASYS contains three complete synthesis engine algorithms for your audio palette: the HD-1 High Definition PCM Synth plus two EXi Expansion Instruments - the AL-1 Analog Modeling Synth and the CX-3 Modeled Tonewheel Organ.
OASYS is built around Korg's new flagship PCM-based engine, which Korg calls the HD-1 High Definition Synthesizer. Driven by an exacting, robust and detail-rich voice architecture, the sound of the HD-1 possesses an amazing clarity and presence; a high end that is crystal clear, but never harsh; a detailed and accurate sound that is smooth and rich across the entire audio spectrum. Fueling this engine is a staggering 616 MB of wave ROM; wave ROM that is uncompressed, and that exceeds CD audio quality. This abundant PCM library allows Korg to capture much more of the natural detail and ornamentation that distinguishes an acoustic instrument as "real" sounding. Korg also included many stereo waveforms to preserve the natural imaging and spaciousness of acoustic sounds - especially ensemble sounds and drum kits. Other enhancements include many extended length samples that preserve an instrument's natural decay, and sample sets that allow instruments to speak their full voice, using up to 4-way velocity switching to recreate their complete dynamic range.
Advances in the HD-1's voice architecture allow a single oscillator to play back stereo waveforms and support 4-way layering, switching and crossfading. Each oscillator can employ up to two multi-mode filters, two Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs), two Envelope Generators (EGs) and dual amp stages simultaneously. An additional "voice common" LFO and EG provides another layer of timbre control. The super-fast LFOs feature 18 waveforms, and can modulate into the audio range. The equally agile EGs feature 11 selectable curves for each stage, resulting in dramatically detailed timbre and amplitude changes. A new drive parameter adds mild to wild harmonic overdrive. Korg's AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) furnishes OASYS with 52 additional modulation sources. Newly added AMS Mixers allow mixing and manipulating any of these modulation sources for even more flexible control!
The first OASYS EXi Expansion Instrument is a state-of-the-art virtual analog synth engine: the AL-1. Not content with a mere handful of modeled voices, the AL-1 delivers an unparalleled 84 notes of polyphony, capable of sounding an incredible 504 oscillators (including dual sawtooths and noise generators).
This responsive synth features Korg's distinctive ultra-low aliasing oscillators that recreate all the power and glory of true analog synthesis - without the artifacts that can often plague lesser-modeled oscillators. But that's just the beginning. The AL-1 will satisfy all your vintage yearnings - and your future ones as well. The two main oscillators offer 8 flexible waveforms each, for a wide palette of modulatable shapes. Other progressive features include wave-shape morphing, a floor-thumping sub-oscillator plus a variable-color noise generator capable of white, pink, red flavors - and beyond. An adjustable drive parameter provides a distinctive character to the vintage oscillator modeling; while sync, FM, low-boost and several varieties of ring modulation offer plenty of tone-mangling power. External live audio can even be accessed as an additional signal source.
Each voice can use either one or two of Korg's incredibly versatile multimode (Low Pass, Band Pass, Band Reject [notch], and High Pass) resonant filters. For maximum flexibility, the filters can be connected in series or parallel, to generate 12 dB or 24 dB per octave slopes. Korg's new MultiFilter lets you crossfade in real-time between any two of 21 different filter types - including your own custom mixes of LP, HP, BP, BR and dry input.
Modulation is essential to any analog synth, and the AL-1 offers a wealth of riches. Five punchy and re-triggerable envelope generators can dish out ultra-fast attacks, and a different timing curve can be set for each envelope stage. A generous 18 wave shapes are available to drive the four per-voice LFOs. In addition to their tempo-sync and high-speed abilities, each LFO allows you to specify the phase, center value, and curve for complete control. And to keep all the voices moving together, there's an additional per-timbre Common LFO. Additional modulation capabilities are provided by 52 Alternate Modulation Sources (AMS); dual AMS Mod Mixers; dual key-tracking generators; and a per-voice 32-step Step Sequencer. The per-voice Step Sequencer can modulate virtually any Program parameter - including pitch. Each of the 32 steps has a separate note-length for creating complex rhythmic figures, and can generate either a fixed value or gate an AMS input source. A "smoothing" parameter allows fluid motion between sequencer steps. The standard EXi Program structure adds even more modulation power, including a timbre Common Step Sequencer, two more key tracking generators, and the Vector Envelope.
The CX-3 tonewheel organ, one of the most accurate models of that classic organ sound ever developed, provides the third OASYS sound engine. Based on the current Korg CX-3 hardware instrument, this EXi design features dual drawbars, control over every nuance of the sound including leakage, key click, adjustable percussion, chorus/vibrato and a complete rotary speaker simulation. It also features an enhanced version of Korg's unique EX Mode which adds additional harmonics and percussion tunings, opening up a new world of "organic" timbres. The keyboard can be split to provide upper and lower manuals, each with their own drawbars. The CX-3 not only simulates the tonewheel organ itself, but the various speaker options associated with it. Korg's legendary amp modeling provides a variety of options. In recreating the sound space of the famous rotary organ speaker, the CX-3 provides individual control over numerous elements such as mic spread, rotor speed and transition time. The control surface of OASYS provides direct access to your nine drawbars via the sliders (with on-screen visual indication of their current values); switches to access the vibrato/chorus, percussion and all traditional tonewheel organ controls are laid out in a logical and familiar manner.
These three engines can be used together in a variety of ways. OASYS features dynamic allocation between synth voices (including different synth types), and flexible allocation of power between synth's and effects. An EXi Program can actually host two synth engines, so you can use two AL-1s to create super-powerful synth sounds, or two CX-3s to create new hybrid organ timbres. For the adventurous sound designer, you can blend a CX-3 and AL-1 to create new imaginative timbres - the choice is yours!
In a bold first for any keyboard-based product, OASYS also offers an unprecedented 16-track audio recording studio, perfectly integrated with the sequencer's MIDI tracks. Up to four tracks of 16-bit, 48 kHz pristine and uncompressed audio can be recorded simultaneously to the 40GB internal hard drive. You can record from your choice of balanced mic/line inputs (with individual phantom power), unbalanced +4dBu line inputs, or S/PDIF digital inputs. All of the on-board effects are available in the recorder, allowing you to call up any of Korg's studio quality mic and amp models, dynamic treatments or spatial effects - a virtual cavalcade of audio gear - when recording from an outside source! The Audio Recorder sports a full mixing control surface with channel strip, automation along with track and song editing capabilities. Once again, the huge color TouchView display provides a distinct advantage for editing and mixing your tracks quickly and intuitively. The 16-track digital recorder can import and export tracks in industry-standard WAV files for maximum compatibility and portability. From simple songwriting to full-fledged productions, OASYS provides the tools you need for any audio situation.
