Connections
The OASYS Open Architecture Synthesis Studio offers plenty of connectivity to your professional studio, be it digital or analog. In addition to the stereo Main outputs, OASYS offers eight individual outputs which can be used to isolate timbres or tracks for individual recording or processing. All analog outputs feature 24-bit digital-to-analog conversion, and sounds can be processed through the Insert effects before being routed to these outputs.
Four 24-bit inputs (two combination XLR/quarter-inch jacks with mic preamps and switchable phantom power, plus two 1/4" jacks) are provided for use when sampling or audio recording, along with 24-bit optical S/P DIF connections supporting 48 and 96 kHz operation. Four high-speed USB 2.0 ports support external hard drives, flash memory, and other USB Mass Storage devices. The internal CD-R/RW drive lets you burn audio CDs; back up sound, sequence, and HDR data; and “rip” samples directly from audio CDs.
Three pedal inputs are provided, including damper jack support for half-damper sensing. The footswitch and footpedal jacks can be assigned to wide choice of functions including modulation, sostenuto, Program advance, punch-in recording and much more.

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.
