Karma-Lab has released KARMA Oasys Software, a dedicated PC/Mac program for the Korg OASYS.
The program runs on Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher (compatible with 10.5 Leopard), and on Windows XP, with an update planned for Vista in early 2008.

KO allows you to go deeper into the world of the KARMA function, in ways that are not possible on the OASYS alone. Whether you're creating sounds from scratch or using the factory sounds, KO's visual controls and displays provide the ultimate insight and learning tool for anyone who wants to better understand the KARMA Function.

KO's main features include the ability to develop your own Generated Effects (GE's) for unlimited musical possibilities, or edit the factory GEs into new configurations. Import .MID files and grab phrases directly from the OASYS sequencer, and instantly turn them into GEs. Then, upload (via SysEx) your new GE's to the OASYS and take them on the road.
