Combination Mode
Korg’s famous Combination structure – introduced nearly 20 years ago in the M-1 – has been expanded, now allowing up to 16 Programs to be split and layered across the keyboard and across multiple MIDI channels.

In addition to providing more sound elements, this means that Combis can be set up and saved as complete 16-part MIDI sequencing templates for use with an external sequencer and computer DAWs - a much-requested feature from our users! You can freely combine Programs from the HD-1, AL-1, CX-3, LAC-1 and MOD-7 engines to create amazing new textures by zoning, layering and velocity-switching multiple sounds in a single keyboard set-up.
Sounds can be delayed either by time or by tempo, even when you release a key, allowing you to create sophisticated rhythmic soundscapes and performance effects. Monophonic sounds can be forced to be polyphonic, or vice-versa, and you can select only one of the oscillators if desired. For the more adventurous musician, each timbre can even use a different scale or tuning!
The enhanced OASYS Combi mode now offers a powerful Tone Adjust feature,

providing real-time control over 33 parameters of each timbre, so you can edit each of the 16 sounds in context without affecting the original Programs.
And with up to 172 voices to work with, OASYS has more than enough horsepower to cover all the bases.

This demo is part of a CD released in Germany by Korg & More to showcase the OASYS. Everything on the demo came from a single OASYS. It is presented in two resolutions in consideration for your Internet connection speed. For the lower resolution version (192 bitrate), click here (mp3, 8.66MB).
A few production notes:
The piano is the EXs-2 Piano (503 MB), slightly edited to suit Andreas’ touch (velocity curve) and taste (filter response).
The drums were played live into the sequencer from the EXs-1 Studio-Standard Kit (I-E 004), again edited slightly to match how Andreas likes to map drum sounds for playing live (some small mistakes were edited out later, of course!).
The percussion part in the middle was generated by KARMA, then resampled and laid back into the track as an audio loop.
