Can you load sounds from the oasys to a kronos ? please tell me

[scoopicman]

Yes, DierenBrigade. Kronos can read OASYS programs. However, the OASYS can't read Kronos files.

Does this machine do vocal recording? I'm just starting to research production/work stations and I'm curious how this compares to Kronos & Motif.

[scoopicman]

@IchabodTodd678 not only can it do vocal recording, you can plug in a mic and record the voice to 4 tracks at a time - each with a different effect setting. For example, one track can be set to record the dry signal, while your singer hears herself with reverb, another track can be vocoded...all in the same pass.

I just bought oasys and I wonder where are all cool korg pads and stuff. is there really just those 3 or 4 banks + exi and that's it ? does there come more sounds with updates ? I haven't done that yet...

[scoopicman]

@M3L0D1CM4N I can send you some sound banks, if you give me an email to send to.

[DierenBrigade]

Can you please send me some soundbanks ? so i can load them in to my kronos

[Tomucci111]

Oasys ftw! another owner here! , i think a kronos with the looks of the oasys would be the best

@FreedomProductionsz I am a 50 year player whose setup includes 14 keyboards and at least 2 dozen modules of mostly Roland, Korg, & Yamaha gear. I was 1st in Arizona to have an OASYS (88), & will be the 1st to have an 88 Kronos. The Kronos won't replace my OASYS. It will replace my 88 Triton Extreme. The Kronos and the OASYS have different capabilities. Kronos has better pianos (elec. and acoustic) and better at clav.(better libraries on the K). Neither are strictly cinematic by any means.

@FreedomProductionsz - I am an OASYS owner and believe me when I tell you, the OASYS/Kronos can do a whole lot more than just cinematic based music. Like all synths, the presets are programmed to make the biggest most impressive sound possible to sell the instrument in the music store. But with a small (and I mean small) bit of effort you can tame the programs into something perfect for any musical style. My band covers some Hip-Hop and I've had no problems at all reproducing that sound...
