OASYS has two analog in and outs. I understand that the analogs can be hooked up to a mixer, but how do you hear OASYS in Logic, so that you can mix within Logic. I don't want to have to go to an analog or digital board.

For example, say I have a song with Audio tracks, VST instrument tracks and ...

Then, how do I hear the OASYS if is hooked up to a MOTU 828? Do I hook it via lightpipe and monitor parallel to Logic. How then does OASYS get into a Logic Arrangement for mixdown? I'm a little confused.

Would the MOTU 828 be a good IO to use with OASYS and Logic? How would you configure it so that you can hear OASYS? Sorry for these questions, but it

When you say OASYS won't run within Logic, then how do you get the two running together. In other words, say i want to add some OASYS effects to a VST instrument - how do you do that or add OASYS effects to a Logic Audio track?

Thanks, but it seems the OASYS card would create latency issues, just like UAD and Powercore, when run within Logic. I think OASYS would be a cool stand alone system for writing, but I want to have everything run within Logic. I don't want to have other systems running at the same time.

Plus ...

Can you run the analog outs of OASYS (when used as an instrument) into my EMI 2/6 inputs - does that create any feedback loops?

Also, what type of latency do you get when running OASYS as an effects processor in Logic - since it is going from Logic to OASYS and then routed into the IO?

So, in order to run OASYS within Logic, I need to use OASYS as the IO, or if I have another IO, that IO must have ADAT lightpipe in order to route OASYS effects and instruments into the other IO.

Is that correct?

Are you on the Mac Platform - I hear that Synthkit isn't available for PC, as well as no Xp drivers (which ain't a problem right now for me on WINME?)

As recently asked - is it easy to set up OASYS to run with Logic Audio - does it appear like a VST plugin (like UAD-1 and powercore). Or is it ...

Thanks for the info. Actually, before I read yoru reply I called Guitar Center and they a few left for $499.

The OASYS sounds cool but is Korg discontinuing them (old technology already). My other concern is that I would have to run OASYS as a separate program, then boot up Logic and have ...

Kim:

What does OASYS do that UAD-1/Powercore cannot do. Isn't OASYS around $2,000 (triple the price of the UAD-1? Does OASYS create any conflicts with third party IOs such as the EMI 2/6 or MOTU 828 or do you use the OASYS as the IO. I'm perplexed and intrigued!

I was interested in getting Pulsar XTC as an addition to my Logic Audio setup to take some load off the CPU due to extensive use of VST plugins. I was comparing the UA and Powercore DSP cards to Pulsar and liked the fact that Pulsar ran instruments as well as plugins. However, I'm concerned about ...
