I hate that if you want to play a certain song you have to try 20 or 30 styles until you have the right one,What excited me about the Audya is that it is back to the roots. you can pick a style and play many different songs with it, just like you would with a small band.
Wow! it took you trying 20 or 30 styles to find the right one?
Ha Ha...that's pretty good.
Most pros can find a style very quickly, on any arranger...especially after they've spent a bit of time with it.
AND, no one is forced into using the long intros...they're okay once in awhile, but most pros using a Tyros/PSR-S-series, or G-70/E-80 or PA2XPro/PA-800/500 rarely use the big intros, and generally play their own...I know I do.
Plus, you can play all kinds of tunes with each Yamaha/Roland/Korg style...you just have to be a little creative.
I don't actually dislike any other arranger...they are all excellent today, and I simply picked the features and sounds that I liked best...just happened to be Yamaha.
