Well to be fair it's not just some bugs. It's the history of an OS with large proportions of core systems missing, bugs and hardware faults .

As for the keyboard selling, sure there will always be those who take the plunge but I know for a fact that in my area (120 mile radius of where I live) I could count the Audya owners one hand.

Ask me to count owners of the older Ketron keyboards and there would be truck loads of people to count. Ketron's older keyboards are hugely popular here.

Funny enough the problems with the Audya are not the main reason for them to not buy, it's the price. You can buy a KORG Pa2X or Tyros 3 for far less.

I sure the recession is not helping, but not just for Ketron, I'm sure just as Korg, Yamaha and especially roland.


Yes it's hitting everyone, but Ketron have their neck currently sticking out the furthest by a long way on price.

I understand they can't turn around and start selling it under a new pricing structure and this would cause blue murder amongst those who have paid already for it. This is why I've been saying that as soon as they get the Audya finished, they will likely drop it and quickly release a new keyboard totally based on the work they did for the audya.

It's only then can I see Ketron turning a profit here. I just hope they can hold out that long because it's taking for freaking ever to get the Audya working right.
