The AUDYA is on the market in almost all the south-european countrys from 15 January.
In Portugal we receive until now almost 20 Keyboards and are all sell.
The AUDYA is not 50% or 60% finished. It is almost 100% complete , and i said ALMOST , because they dont delivery yet the final Instrution Manual , and the Software to produce the Audio Styles. Also , in my opinion , I think they can put a "Pattern Edit" funtion directly in the Keyboard. In Portugal not everyone had a computer , and with that small function they can edit and correct the midi parts of the style.
The Audya is Open Architectury and they can develop new functions , new sounds or what they want. I Hope they continue developing new ideas for this plattform , lots of new thing can be integrated in the audya.
I explore the OS and i see that everything can be edited , we can "personalize" the Keyboarb for the kneeds of the musician. All the soundbank are RW , all the audio parts can be edited , all the audio guitars can be edited.... We had no limits to work here.....
As the first User said , the arranger part of the audio Styles are fantastic. The right hand sounds are very very good , and yes , no comparation with the Japonese models , this is the best arranger keyboard of the moment.
Go test yourself and see.
And is EASY , EASY to work....
As you see in the few videos i produce and share with all in my blog , the Musicians came to see the keyboard and i film , no preparation..... As you see , they dont ad no problem to start playing in the Audya , its so easy , that apears they already know were are everything...
Sorry about my bad english. Best regards
FC www.ketronaudya.wordpress.com So what is it? 100% finished or needs much improvement ?.........it's can't be both! [This message has been edited by Dnj (edited 02-06-2009).]

You know, any more of this 'spin doctoring', and I'm going to get dizzy... You know, there is one issue, and one issue alone that interests most of us, because the Audya, without it, is merely just another arranger, in fact, one with considerably LESS features than T3, PA2Xpro, heck, even my G70! If it STOPS PLAYING in the loop section when faced with a more complex chord than maj and min derivatives, and switches to an altogether different system altogether, what is the value of that? It's kind of like, it's an Audya for maj and min, and it's an SD-1 for dim's sus's and aug's... Not exactly the great leap forward we were promised... More a 'bunny hop' Korg's and Yamaha's already have FAR more sophisticated Guitar Modes for those pesky chords, and extremely realistic guitar voicing with none of the 'dropout' problems. Plus SA2 voices, large RAM samplers, long length patterns (in Korg's case), just about anything that the Audya has. This ONE feature is the difference, gentlemen. And, unless a miracle occurs (I'm not holding my breath, are you? ), it just plain doesn't work. Unless you eschew dim's, aug's, sus's, and don't expect correct guitar voicing on all the extensions (which Korg, Yamaha and even Roland's Guitar modes DO). It's going to sound great. So does a T3, so does a PA2Xpro (which is just as capable of doing audio drum loops if you bother to do it yourself). But the thing it claimed was going to revolutionize the industry has fallen short of the finish line...
