JR OASYS demo videos

[craig1928]

I'm gonna assume that in these videos the sounds he's using are stock OASYS waveforms but I just want to confirm that this is the case(would seem a little pointless demoing the OASYS otherwise?), anyone know the answer.

[Enigma™]

I think he mostly used the stock sounds, but I'm pretty sure he programmed a bunch of them. (Meaning he didn't load samples, but he DID program sounds to do what he wanted them to)

Just my suspicion though.

[calmar]

He uses pretty much only stock sounds, which he reprogrammed/tweaked. He doesn't really uses presets, but I recognize many of the sounds/wavforms he is using.

[Delta-1]

Definetely, there's some sounds tweaked... :tongue:
Because, you can recognize some of the waveforms, but without doubts they're no samples and they're re-programmed by JR. :cool:

If you are you talking about the ones with moving pictures in the back that have names like "Pizzicato Strings", "Orchestral Percussion", etc.. like this:

...you can see on Richard's description that these were done with software but the developer said no after the vids were done.

Just saying because these got fame as the "Oasys demos", if you're talking about something else ignore me.

[calmar]

I think he was talking about the demo videos that were on Korg's website few months ago.

Yea they're the ones alright, the pizz strings demo etc. the ones Gianni posted

I find this hilarious, if you search for Korg Oasys on Youtube that´s the 2nd or 3rd video on the list (sometimes even 1st) hehehe MOTU's Ethno did the dirty job and the Oasys got all the credits! :tongue:

If you're referring to the ones on my page, and that Gianni posted the links to from someone else's page, those are neither Oasys nor MOTU Ethno sounds. I don't want to tell you what they were, but all of those clips where Jordan uses the Oasys as the controller and that have the abstract animated backgrounds were created with the unnamed developer's sound banks. The Oasys was used only as a controller, and doesn't produce any of the sounds - in fact, in the original versions of the clips, I had to mask out the Korg logo and Oasys label from all the clips.

There are a series of other clips on my YouTube page that feature Ethno, by the way.

What happened was that the developer asked Jordan and I to produce a series of clips using the libraries for a NAMM show and a follow-up DVD, but didn't give us any instruction or feedback about how he wanted them produced, despite several attempts on my part to get in touch with him by phone and email. So we went ahead with the recording and sent him the clips, and he freaked out because we'd recorded the audio through a Mackie mixer, instead of capturing them as the direct digital output from the libraries. He rejected all the clips and the DVD (despite the fact that I think it would have been impossible at a NAMM show to hear the difference). So I went ahead and posted them online, after removing all the titles that referred to the developer and the libraries and restoring the Korg and Oasys logos.

It's really too bad, because I think that those clips offer some of Jordan's best playing - he improvised everything on the spot, and some of those takes were just masterful.

Yea the sounds are real nice there, pity about the developer, thanks Richard

[zolhof]

Thanks for clearing up Richard. I always thought it was Ethno (or some MOTU library), despite the fact it has some real crunchy rock n roll demos that don´t seem to fit at all in the whole Ethno idea hehehe I read someone saying it was Ethno and the way Jordan uses the lower keys on both sets of demos to trigger different sounds/articulations felt so alike..

Anyway, it´s a pitty that you can´t say from which library those are, I was completely sold by the sounds, they´re beautiful!

Hey, I also posted your account's version of the vid, Richard! The other guy's was just for making the comparison of misinformation, and right information.

And really, what you just told us seems like a very stupid reason for someone to turn down these vids! I guess the person who pulled the plug on that one must be really regreting it, since these got to be so well known and ended up giving free publicity to Oasys.
Heck, some of those were the ones that convinced me to start saving up before I saw the real info on Richard's account, but now I'm all convinced of buying one as soon as I move out.

Gotta love irony....
