Dikki & Keybplayer:- When we designed the MS series and introduced GROOVES, we followed with a good library of styles with new GROOVES (MS100/60/50&40). When we developed the X and SD series, we repeated this. In that same Ketron tradition, we will follow with a new library of styles with Audio parts incorporated for Audya too - have no fear about this - it's what we do.
As far as repairs go, we’ll utilize our current and future dealer network in the US. I’ll get the cases the dealers can’t handle (same situation existed with Bell Douvox [previous US Ketron distributors]) – and our turn-around time will still remain faster than most of our competitors (usually 5 business days or less).
Dnj:- Yes, these demos are a lot better than those we did about 1-2 years ago. The unit I used on Youtube was a prototype (basically only had the new GM sounds and very limited guitar loops). The unit I used on the demos (some anyway) utilize the full Production AUDYA – what yours will sound like were you to purchase one in January. You may disregard the previous demos you’ve heard to date! Also, we didn’t use RIFF mode in these demos (as we did on the SD5) as we wanted to represent the keyboard to the best of our capability – how it would perform out of the box!
to the genesys:- Third party audio loops (AKAI, WAVE ..etc) will be able to be imported and used with current/new styles. However, there will be some ‘work’ required in advance to ‘mate’ the audio loops to the style in question. You will also be able to (in the same light) create your own audio loops. We will eventually provide software that will assist end-users with this process.
Diki:- Your contrast between Computer terminology and good Music/Sound got me laughing hard … and I’m still laughing about how you wrote what you wrote ... well noted.
