6-channel audio input and 10-channel
audio output to meet any situation
TheOASYSprovidesatotalofsixaudioinputs;four
channelsofanaloginput,andtwochannelsofdigital
input.Analoginputs1and2usecombojacksthatcan

Superb user interface
Control surface and a rich variety of other
controllers
Thehugearrayoffunctionsandparametersare
displayedina10.4inchcolorLCDforexcellent
visibility.TheOASYSusesKorg’sproprietary
TouchViewgraphicaluserinterface,lettingyou
performoperationssimplybytouchingthescreen.
Inadditiontotraditionalcontrollerssuchasjoystick,
ribboncontroller,andassignablekeys,there’salso
a
controlsurfaceconsistingofnumeroussliders,knobs,
andswitches.
Thecontrolsurfaceprovidessliders,knobs,and
switchesthatgiveyoutactilecontrolforediting
