Knowledge comes from investigation... I've already stated I know darn well there'll never be an Audya anywhere NEAR me, so the only way I'm going to find anything out about it will be to ASK...
Tom, please don't ASSume I'm going to do, or not do, ANYTHING. You have no idea whether I'm interested in this (which, God knows, I've said enough times that I AM). I simply don't like being fobbed off with platitudes about essential features from the developers themselves.
I really am ASTONISHED that the way that the audio loop section actually plays chords, the very thing (and almost ONLY thing) that sets this arranger apart from other arrangers, isn't the PRIMARY focus for inquiry... Let's face it, it is what is generating all the buzz. Drum loops have little in the way of technical problems - they don't need different loops for different chords, it's old (SD-1) technology... But the guitar and bass audio loops are a brand new to regular arrangers feature...
Surely how these work, and how well they work should be almost our ENTIRE focus, as this arranger is introduced?
Now, AJ has stated that they play any chord, any extension... OK, let's hear it.
I simply find it amazing that, if they DO play 'all chords, all extensions', why the guitar demos up at Ketron so relentlessly restrict themselves to such simplistic basics... I just think that, were it me making a demo of this feature, I would have wanted to show it off doing more than the simplest chords it could
It would take five minutes to make a demo like the ones on the Ketron site (I can't imagine the ones they have up taking longer than that), and would dispel ALL further comment about the issue... or they can just leave the question hanging.
I KNOW I'm not the only one that really wants to know what this section can, and can't do...
