I really don't think this has anything to do with why Access announced when they did - it doesn't seem to be aimed at the same market for one thing. I also fail to see how they'd have got hold of the info that far in advance? I doubt Korg would have sent them a memo

BTW - my spam comment was made before the topic was moved from the forum which is supposed to be exclusively about Access products

check out the specs that timo posted in the thread linked below and you may change your mind.

If you look at the Novation X-station $500, It already does a lot of the TI thingy, it's a universal remote controller for hardware/software synths ,usb , VA synth, act like a sound card, etc... Of course it's not the virus, but really Access, the only novelty is the hypersaw ?
So....I am pondering...good thing I didn't put a deposit down....

well i am certainly interested in both products and the both offer similar features - at this stage from my understanding the new korg is offering VA synthesis combined with a multitude of other features - i would consider it a competitor to the TI for those in the market for a serious VA.

i wish korg sent me that memo

cheers

I've seen them already - it's looks like an impressive beast to be sure, but it's still a different market IMO. It's a full-blown workstation with VA capabilties, whereas the TI is a much more focussed product. For many, the Oasys will be a put off due to feature bloat. For others it will be the workstation of their dreams for sure.

Even if they were to release a board with just the VA spec, it doesn't make it a TI beater - just a competitor..I'm sure they will sound different enough from each other to mean that there is room for both.

There's no actual info about the physical modelling of instruments that was apparent on the "OASYS" PCI card a few years ago. The analogue and physical modelling synthesis is the stuff I'm after, although they already did the analogue aspect (AL-1). :/ No doubt they'll make a physical modelling board available sometime, if the synth doesn't already do it.

Sounds great, but doesn't sounds like I'll be able to afford one...If 7000$ is the rumored pricetag, it's like 10 000$ CAN, that's more than 3 times the price of the TI POLAR!

im interested to know....

this product allegedly has four high speed usd ports - i wonder if they deliver true high speed bandwidth or if it will be the same ast the TI and only deliver usb1.1 bandwidth?
