T3 doesn't have ANY sampling editing in it. Nor can you record anything into it. It doesn't have any multisample import other than its' own proprietary format...

But that doesn't stop it from being probably the best selling TOTL arranger out, right now.

The trouble with you, Nedim, is that you seem to have absolutely no clue what the majority of arranger users want, need, or can understand. Your original review of the Audya, when you first heard it, was probably the only RELEVANT thing you have ever posted on the subject. 1% of Audya users are ever going to use the sampler. 1% of Audya users are ever going to create a style from scratch. Nobody actually USES the things that you obsess about.

But they ALL play music. And, at THAT task, the Audya is all you originally said it was. Trouble seems to be, you are incapable of looking past your own limited vision of what an arranger should do. YOU want an arranger so you can make styles and sounds for the Balkan market on it and SELL them to other Audya users (which, if they actually HAD your priorities, wouldn't NEED those styles because you would be making them themselves, wouldn't they? ), and for this the Audya falls short.

What happened? Wouldn't Ketron GIVE you the software that they used to make the styles themselves? After all, it's all well and good to bitch that the Audya can't make styles, but SOMEBODY was able to, weren't they? Otherwise there would be no ROM styles... Is that what turned you from such an evangelist into a determined detractor?

Before one pays attention to anyone's opinion about an arranger, it is a good idea to get a pretty good sense of where they are coming from, musically, emotionally and business-wise. Sadly, I can't really use anything you have said about the Audya as being in the slightest bit relevant to me, or probably the vast majority of members here, due to you your fixation with things basically irrelevant, and your determination to deliberately ignore or downplay the positive opinions about the product you had before it became apparent you weren't going to be able to make styles to sell on it.

If this were a forum of style creators, then you might be worth paying attention to. But as someone that ONLY posts from that perspective, I'm afraid your opinion has little value here...

We actually like to PLAY....
