Basic Information
About the OASYS’ modes
The OASYS has a large number of features that let you
play and edit programs and combinations, record and
play sequence data, record and play back samples, and
manage data on disk. The largest unit used to organize
these features is called a mode.
The OASYS has six modes.
Program mode
Programs are the basic sounds of OASYS. In Program
mode, you can:
• Select and play Programs
• Edit Programs
Make detailed settings for oscillators, filters, amps,
EGs, LFOs, effects, KARMA, vector synthesis, etc.
The specific parameters will vary depending on the
synthesis type: HD-1, AL-1, CX-3, STR-1, or other
EXi instruments.
• Create drum programs using drum kits (as created
in Global mode)
• Play and control one KARMA module
• Sample and resample
For example, you can sample an external audio
source while listening to a performance generated
by the KARMA function, or you can play a Program
and resample your performance.
Combination mode
Combinations are sets of up to 16 Programs that can be
played simultaneously, letting you create sounds more
complex than a single Program. In Combination mode,
you can:
