audio and midi are exactly the same
True, and all the more reason for the potential buyer to be sure the Audya is playing chords (especially on-bass or bass inversions, or slash chords...whatever you want to call these chord types) as it should.
I'm pretty fussy about how my arranger's guitar tracks sound, which, I suppose, any player, with pride in how they sound, would be as well.
Now, Lee, if you play very simply, and never use on-bass (bass inversion, slash chords), then the Audya's handling of guitar tracks would never concern you...but, there are pros who use these chords very often, and knowing how they are managed (voiced) would be very beneficial to such players...and, it may help them decide whether having audio guitars over conventional midi controlled sampled guitar notes, is worth giving up the more precise control of the latter.
