I wonder what the latest status is on the new Roland totl arranger?? Are the rumours true that it will only have 61 keys just like the Tyros3? Please say it isn't so!!

And still no further word concerning the Audya either. You'd think if Ketron was in the final stages of completing the Audya that they would be more robust in posting some more audio and video demos and that you would be able to at least download an "english" version of the Audya manual. Maybe that will happen after Musikmesse 2009 perhaps? And then again maybe not. Oh well.. at least when Yamaha says that the Tyros3 will ship this Fall it will actually ship this Fall. The same thing cannot be said about the Audya though. At least from the way I've observed how Ketron has bungled the marketing of the Audya up until now anyway. Miracles still happen though so they may surprise us and indeed ship the Audya this Fall. You must realize though that the last day of Fall is December 20th, so it could ship December 20th and still be considered Fall. If they did though it means I wouldn't be able to see it 'yet' again at Musikmesse 2009? Shucks..

Best,
Mike
