No it is not, Don. I heard the Audya's issues with the audio and midi guitars just like everyone else did when the demos were posted on this forum...and I was not the only one to question why this was allowed to reach production.

It has diddly squat to do with me working for Yamaha, but it has everything to do with my interest in new keyboards in general, which is pretty much the same as everyone else on this forum.

I actually said more good things about the Audya than bad, and the bad was already evident to many here...I have stayed out of the awful issues with the OS debates, and the incredibly poor communications because I don't know much about the company in that way, but anyone can hear the guitar issues, and it's been discussed by many more than me who have not played the Audya.

It has been said by several others that the Audya is still a work in progress, and that may be true...certainly the solution to the audio guitars not being able to play complex chords was far from ideal...you said so yourself many times.

I could see your point if I was saying something about the Audya that was untrue...but what I'm stating is simply common knowledge on this forum.
