16-track MIDI Sequencing
Sequencer MIDI Track Main Display
Korg’s acclaimed 16-track MIDI sequencer records up to 200 Songs (400,000 MIDI notes), and all the features that have made our sequencer the easiest to use are all here. One-touch setup takes you from playing a Program or Combination to “ready-to-record” status in one easy step, automatically arming tracks and routing voices behind the scenes. The sequencer also allows KARMA generated grooves and phrases to be recorded as MIDI data or as a finished audio track.
Song Templates contain pre-assigned effect routings and program assignments, providing one more shortcut to help you capture your creative outbursts. OASYS comes with 16 of these Song Templates, plus another 16 you can custom-tailor to your own needs. Each Template Song also provides a number of rhythm patterns – including intro, fills and endings – that you can use to instantly create a rhythm track.

Realtime Pattern Play and Record (RPPR) can be used to assign sequenced Patterns to individual keys on the keyboard for an interactive performance, or to quickly build up tracks. Individual track looping lets you create smaller looped parts (such as drum grooves) within a Song. In-Track sampling allows you to add sampled audio directly into a MIDI track; resampling allows you to create new loops/grooves from your tracks.
A wealth of editing options is available to help you shape your captured performances with precision detail. Shift/Erase Note, Copy and Bounce options are all provided to help you arrange your parts A variety of quantization options including swing and percentage control can adjust the feel of your performance.
Sequencer Track Edit Commands
More finite control is afforded by the advanced Event Edit screen, where you can adjust each note and controller event with pinpoint accuracy.

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.
