Intesting conversation...
Some of the observations about Yamaha and Korg navigation are exactly why Ketron products have always been my favorite.
Ketron utilizes the hard drive, particularily with SD1 ,like no other company. Style Storage in limitless, because all add on styles are saved and called up from one folder on the hard drive, instantly.
Same with midi file playback, again, played directly from hard drive.
When you create styles, they are created and stored on the hard drive. You can take all onboard styles and copy to harddrive, edit, change, rename .. no registrations.

I've played Yamaha & Korg, but as many ofyou know, I am a Ketron guy...

I am disappointed with the announcement of audya without it really being ready, but hopefully soon, Audya will be worked out.
