"That's your Audya customer I suppose....it doesn't appear to be geared for Jazz or Latin....might work well with most Rock, Rock and Roll and Country...that's probably why DonM likes it so much."

I do all kinds of music including standards, latin and some jazz. There are thousands of songs in my repertoire, many of which have intricate chords. The Audya chord recognition has never been a problem in live use and you can nitpick it all you want and that won't change.
As a matter of fact the Audya is particularly strong in Latin styles. I don't do that many, but I do play the ones popular in the U.S., including Ipanema, You Belong To My Heart, Besame Mucho, Spanish Eyes and many more.
What I don't understand is that if you never plan to buy an Audya and never expect to play or even see one, why you are trying to resurrect a year-old post that was designed to isolate a situation and expose a weakness that does not affect you in any way, except perhaps cut into Yamaha sales, and that should not be a consideration considering the relative volume of sales of the two companies.
You refuse to accept the opinions and statements of those of us who are using the Audya every night in real situations, so I will respectfully bow out of this discussion and enjoy my Audya.
Ian I have always respected your abilities and opinions, and continue to do so, but we will have to agree to disagree on this subject.
