Hi,
I wanted to hop on this thread if only on a tangent:
Eric, only a few here have been able to play around on the OASYS (can't wait!!! ; ). So if the OASYS has "K2" as you indicate, I don't see much information on how it is different than "K1." My understanding is that the OASYS has more intuitively laid out parameters of GEs and has 5 layers, where my KARMA has one layer. But underneath, the GEs are the same, right? Both have about 2000. . .
This thread also helped me because now I am to understand the MIDI out on my KARMA will do the same thing as on the OASYS (would drive a slave synth with the GEs). I was so new to my maroon beast when I tried to hook up my JD800 last Spring, I gave up. . . now it doesn't seem that difficult; just need to lift the hood and "fix" that sticky MIDI switch on the Roland -- weee!).
Thanx in advance!
Wayne

You are best to ask the "Karma Creator" himself, Stephen Kay over at
Karma Lab Forums. Any answer you get here will only be circumspective.
The problem with a Univeral Karma (Karma Creator) is that it requires a
sound platform or set of platforms. MIDI routings and parameter
assignments are quite specific within the current KARMA Technology. A
Karma keyboard workstation can drive other midi devices or VSTis, but
that entails extra programming to find the best link-up. The same
would be true for Karma Creator. The wonderful potential is there, but
the work involved integrating everything would be quite intense.
The best scenario I think would be for Karma 2 to evolve into a VSTi on
steroids. That is not impossible if VST partnerships could be
engaged. However, having said that, I would expect that the VSTi
worthy of being driven by KARMA 2 would certainly be a very important
consideration. So, could you imagine a KARMA 2 - Spectrosonics
marriage, for example. That's where I would love to see the technology
progress. Yes, Korg would not like this at all given that K2 is
couched solidly with the OASYS. Note - K2 did not migrate to anything
new at this Winter NAMM 2006. I wonder why. RADIAS borrowed from MMT
(the synth engine in the OASYS), so why did it not also borrow from
K2?
We can only guess at these matters. Ask Stephen directly. Don't be
suprised if you get a less than definite answer.
Cheers,
