Would it be possible to have an incoming audio signal treated as an oscillator like the synthi aks?

That makes sense. At some point, it would be great to have a Yamaha SY77 sort of thing going on where instrument samples (wheich can very well be lo-tech...think Kawai K1) can be modulated at full audio rate by wavetables, and vice versa.

You just bought an Oasys? Is not your carbon footprint big enough?

Get it?

Carbon?

O never mind.

Plus....can you imagine a sustained choir sound stuck in a rotor with a wavetable, a sawtooth and summut else?

What he said.

I realize that...but it's always been a fascinating concept to me to FM "traditional" instrument samples with synth waveforms, wavetables etc. Such huge potential for wrong sounds.

Please consider even a truncated list of short samples, like the Korg MS2000 had...DWGS style from the DW-8000.

Will there be sustaining samples like strings & choirs?

Hi John

When you refer to "sample playback" as one of the oscillator types, are you referring to traditional instrument samples that one might find in a "big three" workstation? Does this mean that this sample can be FM'd at full audio rate with, say, a wavetable oscillator?

P.S. Did you get the ...

I'm not wild about either...but prefer the silver case. With that many LCD screens, the aesthetics get MUCH tricker.
