..in addition to good "punch" in your sound, you also need to make up a lot of drum patterns and a lot of "fills" for each genre so that it doesn't get monotonous to the listener and keep switching between them in your song maybe every 2-4 measures. The one thing I notice the most on OMB players is they tend to leave the same style running and use very little "fills." I watch drummers play now, and I see how you don't realize how much the drummer is doing in the background to fill out a song by complementing the lead player/vocalist...
Now Mark, this is where the Audya really, but really shines. I know, hard to believe or appreciate unless one has his very own to experiment with. This is one of the immediate outstanding features of my Audy for me, that stunning, super intelligent drummer. Whether I use many fills or not (and I really use many - always), he does his own thing in the background over and above. You have to hear it & play with it yourself to really beieve it.
Henni,
I'm with you on that one. I first played a Ketron SD3 about 5 years ago when I didn't even know what they were all about. I was on that thing for about 3 hours and enjoying every minute of it.
Ever since I wanted to buy one. But I got sidetracked along the way, and that brings me up to today when I'm facing the Tyros, the PA3x, and a Ketron keyboard.
When I purchased my PA3x, truthfully speaking, I really wanted an Audya (and I needed 76 keys). But for my use, I thought the Korg was better for my needs as I want to do editing and I think the Korg excels in that.
Then there were the stories I heard about Ketron support here in the USA. I realize AJ can only do so much tech support, but Korg has service centers all over (I hope!).
In the end, I figure if things work out for me with this PA3x, then I will buy an Audya for a backup keyboard.
You're one of the lucky Ketron owners.......good luck with it!
Mark
