I have played mine for four days off and on, including about six hours yesterday.

I will do more of the same Sunday and Monday. If all remains well, I'll start playing it on the job Tuesday.
It sounds amazing. Maybe Tony got a lemon.
I hope that's the case, because I would really hate to give mine up.
If it starts screwing up, I will post all details here. After reading about the problems that a couple of guys are experiencing, I was hoping for the best but expecting trouble. So far it's o.k.
Yes, there are a few things still left for Ketron to address. I know they are working on it very hard, so I trust they will get it all worked out. Of course I'll send any bug reports to AJ and Ted to relay to Ketron Italy.

Don,
It needs to be very clear about Audya, I will try to explain, we are all running the same software, so we will all have the same faults, push button on KBs are like those on your car riadio they have button de-bounce built in and an example of this is the HARMONY button on the Audya have you notice they have changed the way the button works, it now waits for you to hold it down, the program is waiting to see if you hold it for more that 1 second if you do it will let you go to edit, this sounds dead simple and all button don't work that way, so do. Button is all Auyda is about and get things out of sync or press a set of buttons in a particular order and bang the program running the buttons crashes and locks up. All good software has WATCHDOG timers these wait for a crash and when the Watchdog timer times out it starts the program right from the beginning and we are up and running again. Sounds simple it is and I dont know how Ketron programmers work, perhaps they think you should re-boot.
If I have problems that no one else has then there are only two explanations for this, I have bad silicon in my processor which is very unusual or I have pushed buttons , turned wheels, etc that have caused the program to stop or go into an endless loop this is a crash state, from this there may be no way out other than a shut down , if there is a watchdog, it will wait for a time 1 sec or so and then the program will restart just as if you had switched of.
Don I don’t want you or anybody to have problem, perhaps I am giving the Audya the hell it deserves when I play it, i.e. pressing a lot of buttons, I have a sneaky feeling that one day you press the right sequence and the safe door will open for you too, you will turn off and just get on with playing!
Tony
