I spoke with Ted, the U.S. distributor, yesterday. He hopes to get them around the end of this year, but he doesn't know for certain, any more than we do.

I don't know. What I HOPE is, that they are getting it right and thoroughly testing it before offering it for sale. No new release is perfect, but in the past few years there have been several new totl keyboards introduced with serious flaws. The Roland G70 and Korg PA800 come to mind.
It took completely new OS updates to make them playable. But at least they listened to users and made the adjustments via software.

I just spoke with Ted at CMC (distributor in USA for Ketron) and he says "maybe January".

Perhaps a bit dramatic, but are we actually witnessing the demise of Ketron?

That would be a sad thing.

They are a small company, relatively speaking, and they must be hurting with all this R+D..
They cannot be selling all that many SD2's and 3's of SD5's to recoup the huge cost of the Audya.. And even now, it is still "maybe" with the release dates..

As I said, I hope not, but it's looking more and more possible with each passing month.

I don't think this is the demise of Ketron. They are small and their US sales are not great but world wide I think they do ok. Remember a small company doesn't need the volume of sales a company the size of Yamaha does.

Yes Tom that IS true...they could survive on a fraction of what say, Yamaha, need as profit.
