Hmmm, I can't see that happening. Tyros sells so well because of its smooth, compressed, CD-like sound, so why would everyone flock to Audya with its LIVEness, ergo, the antithesis of Tyros.

If anything, Audya should grab sales away from Korg. That's where the 'live' afficionados mainly hang out. Then again, Ketron's (in)famous initial availability and subsequent after-sales service would surely put the kibosh on any major buying shift.


Well isn't it true most tyros users are always complaining about the drum sets NOT BEING LIVE sounding? That's alone can drive people away if they had other great choices like the Audya......I think the Audya and Ketron in general always gets a bad Rep......... I have performed with and owned many Ketron arrangers thru the years & although they might not be as big as Yamaha they truly show effort in innovations year after year, it's an ongoing process.......and you dont have to keep buying upgraded kb's that honestly don't have many changes all the time. As I said in other posts as these kb's become more and more the same old model after model Audya might be the one to keep an eye on in teh arranger KB world....AJ is doing a fine job. clap headphone clap
