In Europe we expect the new Audya only before the Frankfurt musikMesse 2008 , in April.

Prices , we think about 3500 Euros.

Here in Portugal Ketron , in the last 20 years Nš1 in preferences , lose in last year Market to Korg.
i think Ketron did a mistake in Europe , or maybe not , when they decide to present the AUDYA in Musikmesse 2007.
Everyone were "crazy" to have the new Audya , and.....no Audya.....only 2008.

In Italy someone told me This happened because of the USA market , the brazilian market and the Turkish Market.
In 2007 Ketron SD1 was almost "dead" in Europe after 6 years of prodution and in USA was in the top.
The same in brazil and in the turkish market were Ketron Vega and the new Ketron SX3000 are in the Top in the arabic Market.

Now , 2008 , its the time to Ketron try to recover all the market they lose in europe ,to Korg , when they "forget" us , and go making lots and Lots of money in other markets.

Audya is a splendid keyboard with lots of possibilities to live performance and im Sure Ketron will have lots of sucess in 2008.

Sorry for my bad English.

Best Regards
