Full disclosure - although I am a huge Korg fan (eighteen Korgs so far) the Korg magazine is a vehicle for promoting Korg instruments and gear, and I've seen many people somewhat disavow the equipment they are often associated with and offering glowing reviews of one piece of Korg gear or another. So, I'm not entirely convinced that Tony wasn't just offering some red meat to the Korg people. Probably got a free OASYS out of the deal...
