It’s an amazing product and re-kindles the reason why I love playing Hi-tech gear so much.” Mike Conway Las Vegas, Nevada - USA   Mike is an independent film producer/composer. Check out his recent release, The Awakening. He has a production company called Midnight Sun Entertainment. “As a composer, I appreciate the convenience of a powerful synth workstation, yet I don't feel ‘boxed in’ with the OASYS. The expansion capabilities ensure that my sonic palette will remain vast and on the cutting edge of synthesis technology. Every new addition only enhances the OASYS' value.” TJ Cornish St. Paul, Minnesota - USA   TJ has been playing for 20 years, and performs 2-3 times per week in his alternative young-adult oriented church. He also plays at weddings and directs music at conferences. “It was the best keyboard money I ever spent. I wish it had been out back in 1995 or so. It would have saved me about $15,000 on all of the keyboards I bought trying to scratch the itch that the Oasys does now for me.”   Leonardo D’Ascanio Buenos Aires, Argentina   Leonardo has been playing for 26 years. He works full time as a chemist for International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF), and keeps his passion for music alive by writing and performing in his spare time. “What do I think about Oasys? All good things. The sound is amazing and the control you have over the sound is endless. The interface is designed in a clever way and you can get what you want in far less time that with other gear.” Arend Groot The Netherlands   Arend is a social worker in the trauma team at a hospital. He has played for over 10 years and arranges musical theater productions for Musicalgroup de Amerberg. He is currently working on an original musical production. “It can’t be said enough, but the Oasys is a truly musical instrument. It has to do with a magnificent keyboard feel, easy access to complex synthesizer systems, because of an interface you have never seen before. Not only the touch screen, but all the knobs and sliders and buttons in conjunction with each other make it so that you can make music, edit, karma-size your music in real time and really fast. I couldn’t do this with a mouse and a computer system. But that’s me…if I have inspiration, I want to go…” Nigel Sixsmith (aka Mag66) Gilbert, Arizona - USA   Nigel writes, performs and records music for local companies for radio/TV commercials and is a session keyboardist for local bands and composers. Currently he is using the OASYS exclusively for a new album he is working on, An Oasys in the Desert, which he is hoping to release in early 2007. “What does this all mean to me for the future? It means I have bought the flagship keyboard that will lead the way for musicians to create music now and far into the future. It means I have purchased a keyboard with unparalleled expansion possibilities. It means I won't have to keep buying lots of other equipment with all the resulting nightmares of compatibilities issues and miles of wiring... and having to deal with brand new learning curves each time I do so. I can use one keyboard... to produce literally any sound I can imagine…and millions more beyond my imagination…”
