Cool, thanks for the reply Brandon.
The Oasys is the shit. I was skeptical about the deviation the product took from the DSP card, but the end-result, and the continued efforts to enhance it are extremely impressive.
Did anyone really believe the blurb from Korg about their commitment to continually improve the instrument?
I didn't, but they have-and then some.
Seems Korg really gets the Halo, and trickle down effects that those business kids are always crowing about.
With that said - I really wanted to like the Radias, but when I demoed it I was very confused as to why the LCD was not being utilized to provide feedback about parameters.
I was already bummed that the rings around the knobs didn't reflect values, but thought the LCD would take care of that. Nope.
So they saved some monies, but lost a sale or two.
I hope they know this.
FWIW the sound is great for a VA.
Would be a great synth if that had a continually updating virtual cue that displayed the last few adjusted parameters.
Whether automating parameters of the synth in a DAW, or using a it in live performance the way forward is with lighted rings providing visual feedback.
Too bad clavia made the same mis-step with the Wave.
Apologies for the long rambling post.

any aspect of anything that isn't in the OASYS line), I'd reply to
that. Sadly, I don't get any say on that sort of thing, so I'll have
to sigh and leave it at "no comment". I will say that I noticed that
the knobs on the RADIAS don't grip the pot very tightly, and have
reported that problem outward, hopefully they'll try to rectify that
on future products.
