Hopefully Ketron will "dedicate" themselves to making the audio loops trigger on each and every chord structure not just major and minor chords. This is really a 'noticeable' flaw in my opinion (as opposed to a flaw that you don't necessarily notice outright). What a let down in my honest objective opinion. I just don't see how a crowd could get enthused or stay enthused by your performance when they hear a "discernable" sound difference each and every time you play diminished, sustained, or augmented chords in the songs you play. I realize that not every song will have those kind of chords in them but it's sad when you are faced with the prospect of having to "restructure" and/or "rearrange" your song list(s) or avoid certain songs altogether all because the Audya is limited in such a "basic" function i.e. Style playing.

I am really looking forward to Audya "2", when Ketron will hopefully get their act together and allow the next Audya to have audio loop functionality no matter WHAT chord you happen to play. So in a decade or so we can finally have an Audya that won't be limited in such an "obvious" and "audible" way eh?

Unless Ketron is somehow able to get that audio style chord functionality implemented into Audya "1"?? If that is indeed possible and Ketron comes through and incorporates that functionality with an OS update I will seriously consider the Audya "1" again. If not, I'll wait the 10 or so years until they DO fix it with Audya "2".

With the way things are going though, Audya "2" will probably cost $10,000.00 by then. Which will make me "twice" as mad as I am right NOW about Audya's ridiculous $5,000.00 price tag.

All the best,
Mike
