Korg Oasys

[Adobian]

I was fooling around with the Oasys at Guitar Center. The sounds were awesome.

Wondering if you guys know a cheaper solution to get the same sounds and keys' touch using a Midi controller and a sound card and Soft Synths

Like an old Yamaha KX88 and EMU 0404 with EmulatorX .

How do you like the old KX88 ? Anything modern that you like as far as keyboard touch is concerned ?

I thought the piano sound on the Korg Oasys were awesome. But it could be the Rokit8 KPR Speakers that they hooked to the Oasys that give awesome sounds . $9000 for it, boy, way above my budget .

It's not the Rockit8 speakers. The Korg Oasys really does sound awsome.

With this master keyboard and some soft synths from here you could probably get a pretty good piece down the road to an approximation of one though...

Check into a nice valve preamp ("Tube" preamp on this side of the great pond). Check out the PreSonus BlueTube Preamp. It's fairly cheap and sounds really good. I personally don't use valve equipment to much on my keys, of course a lot of my stuff is analog and doesn't require anymore warmth. I do however run most of my stuff through a Focusrite TwinTrak Pro while recording.
