So my “assumption” as you call it was correct.

Actually, Ketron has been very responsive to the bug reports on the Audya more so than any other arranger (they are up to OS 4).
So I don’t think there is a question of Ketron taking action.

You did however in your rant hit on a very important point.
Talking about the problems of a product should be done in an “open and constructive way.”

Which is far from what is happening with Ketron.
Just look at the first post in this thread.
To say a keyboard freezes does not tell any one any thing.
I am sure if I went to Yamaha and said my XS freezes, but don’t give them the steps as to what was I doing before it froze, they would tell me they need more information.


So yes I do believe the problems of a product should be talked about but in a mature and constructive way not just childish rants.


I also “value integrity,” and if a Yamaha fan boy and clinician is giving any opinion about another brand of an arranger that he or she admits to never playing (the new Korgs Ketrons and Gems arrangers), “would jeopardize the good word of any user or rep in my eyes.”

And no I have not considered politics. O is that really your first profession?
