DanO...., I agree that Ketron is going to have the edge with the audio. That's why I mentioned how impressed I was at how not only did audio guitar parts change with chord recogntion but the "feel" even changed between chord variations.

However...., strip these new Audio styles away and what's left? Ketron's pricing was already outragious to begin with..., but I think Ketron like a few others don't really give two sh*%'s about the American market.

Like I said (at the current prices mentioned) how many of these do you think Ketron is going to be able to unload on American buyers? How in the hell can you sell a keyboard if you keep outpricing the thing making it out of reach for the average buyer????? At this rate it may not be long before you see a Ketron/Wersi merger just based on Ketron's outragious pricing. It's not just this new model..., the entire Ketron line is way out of whack in terms of prices compared to the competition.

Ketron has had their share of problems too with keyboard issues over the years.
