with every purchase there should be a warning that says ' the buyer beware' . If the audya , pPA2X,Tyros 3 or G70 did not do what it was promised to do from day 1 then dont purchase it. If it started to fail within whatever your countries cooling off period is then take it back and get your money back. There were enough warnings on this forum about the Audya and its capabilities to provide all the chordal variations using audio and when it became apparrent that the company was pulling a fast one by substituting midi tracks in place of the limited audio tracks, that should have been enough for cutomers to be wary of the manufacturer promising one thing but delivering another.
Waiting for an update that would make the product work the way it should have from the outset is a mistake and for some here....a very expensive one.
Listen, i sympathise with all those that bought the audya and are unhappy with their purchase. Honestly i am. I too have become so excited about a purchase that i bought it without listening to the concerns that were in abundance about the product before i bought it. But as far as the Audya being incomplete is concerned in terms of editing facilities sequencer etc..... the product didnt have it when it was bought so how can that be a cause of complaint ??? As far as the bugs are concerned if you are way past your cooling off period then you need to look to the law for help . Maybe some kind of class act against Ketron for selling a product that was not fit for the purpose. The same thing happened with the Korg PA2X and the LED's and various other problems with it but those on the korg forum took positive action and let Korg know as a collective what they could do even to the point of threatening legal action against the dealers and boycotting them. The only way to get some real action out of ketron is to hit them in their pockets.
Spalding where have you been all my life, a man with and abundance of brains, I agree with most of it and hit Ketron in their pockets you have just succeeded, but just imagine if Ketron did bring out Audya 2 after Christmas it would be same as son of Audya, SSDD (Same S**t Different Day), and people would be fooled again, but not this old fool Never Again Ketron, Spalding you could be the leader of the NAK club! Hope they don’t use the same LEDs as Korg on the Audya2, Spalding bet when Audya2 comes out the first version of OS will be OS4, if AJ as anything to do with it would make it OS5, high 5 AJ !
Maybe not.
Cheers Spalding
