As far as I can tell the Audya substitutes midi guitar for live guitars on Augmented and Diminished chords. It's hard to hear during a performance. You would have to isolate the guitar, which I don't often do, particularly if I'm playing a song with those chords.
The Audya seems to recognize and correctly play all other chords, including 9ths, 13ths, etc., AND rootless chords, which not many arrangers do.
I'm not going to start listing all the "tricks" the Audya can do, because I could write most of the night about them.
It is ridiculous to criticize a keyboard you have never seen or played and a company with which you have never dealt.
I understand that Yamaha pays you Ian, but that doesn't make the other companies bad.
You have been dropping insinuations about the stability of Ketron for a year or so now. They seem to be doing just fine despite this.
It's one of the few companies that produce a 76-note arranger and various modules. In fact it may now be the ONLY company doing either. I think they fill a definite niche that nobody else is addressing and they provide a sound that nobody else has.
Yes there is work remaining to be done on the Audya, but they seem to be doing it, and thank goodness nobody has come up and told me the guitar player changed tones for a half measure or so when I played a diminished passing chord, so they are not leaving me a tip.
