Members MarkF786 Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm selling my mint-condition Oasys 88 to buy a 76-key model. It has only been used in my smoke-free home studio, and I've kept a cover on it when I'm not playing. It's running the latest OS with 2GB of RAM and includes the LAC-1 Legacy Analog Collection EXB and the EXB-DI ADAT interface. I have all the original manuals, CDs, box, and packing materials. I'm looking to sell it locally to avoid the challenge & risk of shipping it. If you live in the Philadelphia or New Jersey area - or live close enough to drive - and are interested, please let me know. We can negotiate a fair price. Thanks!

Members BonsoWonderDog Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 I am amazed that 11 extra keys could be that much of a problem..... Surely you're going to lose money on the swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the 88 vs. 76 that's an issue; it's the weighted vs. non-weighted. When I bought my Oasys 88 (and my Triton Studio 88 before it), I was practicing classical piano more and wanted the weighted keys. Nowadays, I don't play much piano, and my fingers are out of shape, so I'd prefer to have non-weighted keys. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to admit, that the OASYS keys are not nearly as heavy as many others...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carbon111 Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 I really like the feel of the semi-weighted 76-key on my Oasys - its pretty good...great for zippy leads and organ but still enough presence for piano to play well... There isn't a "fully weighted" keybed out there that I like very much...even my real piano, an old Baldwin Acrosonic Spinet, dosen't have that heavy sluggish feel most "weighted" keyboards seem to have.

Members ChromaLord Posted October 6, 2007 Members Share Posted October 6, 2007 I hate the action of the Oasys- cant play organ, clav or synth parts effectively.What's more, their "backcheck" is slow- just try to play the same key in rapid succession and you will see what I mean.
