There appear to be several here that don't want to hear ANYTHING negative about the Audya!
You wouldn't want to end up like me, now, would you?
How long did you get to actually PLAY it at Shreveport?
I really dont give a crap what anyone thinks....& at the jam we only were able to listen to the demonstration....no one but AJ actually played the Audya...great live sound but nothing mind blowingly NEW that made me say WOW!! compared to what we already have out there like the T2/T3 . AJ did a fine job as usual with the demo which I appreciate but I'm still waiting to hear more feature wise from the Audya...time will tell....It sought of sounded like my old SD1+ with many more features like Riffs, Audio play, & great style parts,.....the sliders and display are nice. Keybed is solid. I have no idea about the OS workings.

Well putting the price aside for now, since I still don't know what it will actually cost. The demos sound good. I do hear some of the SD1 and the SD5 in the Auyda, but it would only be natural since they were all produced by the same company. The one guitar that I heard in the Bolero does sound different (better) than the X1 and SD1, it more like the SD5 guitars which were a big improvement than the older model ketrons. Until I get my hands on one, I can only go by what I hear and compare it to the all of the Ketrons that I've owned, which I can say that every model has been an improvement from the last. I'm hoping that it will be around 3500-4000 and I'll pick one up.

its really difficult to see at least from these demos what additional value there is to spend so much money for? I cant help but say that much of the demo i have heard before on pretty much every top line arranger there is. Apart from the Real audio drums which is noticeable even from a youtube clip, what else is there that makes the Audya stand out ....
Yes, drums are really impressive, if you hear it throught a good PA system this thing stands out! But for right hand sounds.... well.... this is a different story....
