Only $5,400 or so ... $230/month.

Check out some of the sample videos... makes you wanna apply for more credit! LOL!

Order 2 for me.....

Frankly speaking, you get a lot of bang for your buck.
The effort that went into developing and producing this instrument was no small feat.
I only want one

Yeah, Steve and VT. One will do just fine.

I saw on Musicians Friend, you can make $130 payments... Still bad timing money wise. I'll have to wait a while before I jump onto this unit. I definitely want one.

Awesome unit but expensive. They did a great job on the looks too, much better looking than the Tyros 5. One guy on the Keyboard Corner decided to get the Korg Pa4X and a Hammond SK2 plus some speakers for the same money. That Korg is no joke either, it's one heckuva unit.

Thanks, Bob. Will check out the Korg. I still have the PA50, but it's quite dated.

Thanks Bob. I tend to gravitate towards Korgs myself as I like their synth sounds more.

Just went through the almost 30 minute presentation and color me impressed.

That's a nice workstation indeed. $106/month (36 months). Hmmm...

And yes, Steve. I am also somewhat partial to Korg.

Just FYI If you like the Korg (or the Yamaha or ..) consider KRAFT music (I don't work for them or get free booze from them or..)

Unless you can get a super price elsewhere, Kraft always offers bundles of useful stuff (stand, expression pedals, cables, cover, etc.) usually at same MSRP as just the board!

FWIW - 've never had issues with Kraft - they deliver exactly what they promise.

PS it's funny hearing about "streaming samples with no loops" from the internal HDD and similar a decade later, I've had those features for years on my Alesis Fusion 8HD as well as 8 track external (to internal) audio real-time recording,and... for that long. Granted the Fusion is not an arranger, but neither was the Oasis, it is just a workstation. The Fusion was the most panned by the press, and maligned board by early users becasue of the "dated" factory patches. I have a couple hundred BANKs of well over hundreds of non-factory patches (commercial and user made) only limit is HDD space. Unlike 99% of other synths banks can have 0 to thousands of patches and you can have thousands of banks (neither patches or banks are limited to 64, or 128, or 256, or even 512)!

While no one likes to say it it was the blue-collar, working mans, Korg Oasis at ~ 25% of the original Oasis MSRP. Glad I got one, discounted for almost half of the Alesis MSRP, before they went out of production by Alesis within ~2 years of coming out.

Thanks for the tip, Larry. Yeah, Musicians Friend is the same way, actually. I've been buying from them for years. And right, Kraft has a great reputation as well.
