"I have gigged with both boards and both of them have some very nice features, each have their downside too.

The Audya has some incredible styles that are very musical, and the drum and bass drive it very well. The overall tone and eq of especially the bottom end really give the rythm a driving force. But there are hiccups in the system, a bit outdated in some of the internal parts for upgrading. Some of the solo sounds are not as impressive as the Korg.

Like Diki said also, it depends on the type of music your playing. In my case I play allot of latin, older italian, and 70's type ballads, which I think the Audya is superior at. But the Korg's funk, new ballad, new pop styles are amazing and blow away the Audya's.

Vocalizers are how you make of it, my voice doesn't really benefit from the Korg's amazing vocalizer and mic processing, basically you can hear too much of my actual voice. I need allot of covering up.

The Audya's vocal section blankets my voice so it actually sounds better since its mostly electronics instead of my voice."

Frankieve: Thank`s a lot for these comments.
First, I haven`t tried an Audya yet. Heard all youtube demos and anything in the web.
I tried the PA2X for 2 weeks. Owning a Tyros2, I don`t "hear" ANY improvement at all. The drums are ... different? but not necesarily better. Programing is great, customization too. But, I already have that in my Tyros.
Although the Korg`s piano is better than Yamaha, I don`t feel is worthing the change.
Are the Audya pianos (internal or SuperSound?) comparable to Korg`s one? Is it better?
Some of the Tyros voices are outstanding, (the sax, for example) but all the nuances simple dissapear in a live performance, and frankly, is ridiculous to try to emulate a sax player in a live situation, it simple don`t work. And I mean replacing the player. I just prefer to play a synth lead, for example. Is more a "keyboard" appropriate.

And now, an interesting point: The vocalizer.
I don`t sing at all, but ocassionally do some chorus or background vocals. The Tyros vocalizer is... crap... I didn`t check the Korg`s one but I heard is superb. Is the Audya`s one in the the same league? When you say that your voice sounded better with Audya`s one was only doing harmonizing vocals or as solo, or even better, both???

I need desperately a new keyboard, but don`t liked at all the PA2X and I don`t want to loose a lot of money if Audya doesn`t work for me.

Thanks again!
Best Regards
