So far I'm very impressed, outputs can carry full fx processorers on all additional outputs, very fast processor, streams drums from hard drive, guitar from rom. Double wav players, double mp3 player

More to come

keep it coming Franky thanx!!

Each output is stereo assignable, the Audya has an AI mode which will always give a different variations depending on how you play, amazing

Mixable live audio and midi, keybed is the same as a PA2xpro, the wav and mp3 can beat mix up to 30%. All proc can work at the same time, meaning 2 wav players, 2 mp3 players, midi, and arranger all at the same time if needed.

All sd1/5 sounds are included, and new sounds also

Allot of re-worked sd1 styles on hard drive too

Frank what about the chord recognition we all were arguing about for weeks? Have you personally tested it yet/

I assume this info is coming to us from the Jam right Frank? If that is indeed the case the title of your thread is a little misleading in my opinion. Oh well...

Other input from other people would be nice too if that's possible. Anybody else out there?? C'mon guys, let us in on the action okay? So AJ is really letting people play it?? Or just Frankie??

All the best,
Mike

Yes, I'm at the jam right now, haven't played it yet, he is still showing us stuff,

Sorry about the misleading post, I'm doing this on my Blackberry

So this is the way the chord with audio works

It will recognize the basic chords in audio, then to create the more advance chords it adds midi notes to complete

It sounds great, you can't tell the mix

Happy owner of a Roland E-80 V2

Playing your new Korg PA2xpro in your studio.........$3699

Doing a performance in front of a packed house with a Yamaha TYROS 3.................$3899

Playing a Ketron Audya...if you can ever touch or play one...........$PRICELESS!!!!

I'm sorry for getting way ahead of myself here but................still no price yet for the Ketron Audya??????

Is anybody else getting frustrated with this whole Audya debacle?

excactly there is no quoted price as of yet.

How can there be a price when the synth is not available yet? Cant we be real? Can i give you
a price on tomatoes when they are still seeds?

This is exactly the problem.....why didn't Ketron just wait for the release?.....
fix all the bugs.....then there wouldn"t have been all this confusion. People are doubtful before its even ready for market..it's really a horrible way to encourage customers to buy a product..
remember when ther are little fish in the pond.....the big fish will eat them!

G'won! G'won! Somebody ask about the module, the Audya module ...

about price and module...

AJ did not really quote a price
he was guestimating it to be approx. $5,000
could be a bit more, or bit less
it's not set in stone

i think it is too much as the other 3 bid arrangers are around in the $3k range

about Module, as per AJ, does not seem likely ever, as he or Ketron do not think the demand is there.

i would prefer a module myself...

So Leezone what did you think of the Audya....? is it me or there's really not much enthusiasm after this Arranger fiesta?

secondly....what does the other big 3 have to do with the price of the Audya?...doesn't it do things the others cannot & doesn't that warrant a higher price?

module? Hmmmmm? maybe in the year 2020

As a part-time performer, I will be using the Audya,

it puts together everything I've been looking for.
- 76 note keybed
- dual wav/mp3 playback with crossfade and bpm mix
- great vocalizer
- great midi file playback
- amazing styles for genres

Will there be bugs? of course, can I handle them? I've always done before.

But I have to say I'm feeling very good about an arranger I can grow with and learn, and cover all of my wants and needs.

It's not going to be for every one, it's price is justifiable if you try to create the same combination with other components.

But it's not Yamaha or has that Yamaha sound
It's not Korg, and unfortunately Roland sounds like they are going in another direction.

( from what I have seen and heard, my judgement can change after release)
I completely endorse the Audya, as the cream of the crop

I have to agree with you on the Audya, from what I heard and saw on videos and from what other people told me who seen it in action, like yourself. I see the Audya having so much potential and I really hope that it does well. I'm excitied for people who purchase one. I believe that I will end up buying an audya, but I have to weigh in the price vs my gig load. If not, there are plenty of other Ketron pieces that I can do very well with also.

The Ketron Distributors did mention I was one of the first on the list to get the Audya, unfortunately there are limited quantities on this first run.
I have 5 potential buyers but they are waiting for me to get one and really play it out live to see if there are any hiccups

Why in the heck...is the price not annouced?
Is it rocket science? They got to know right now how much it will be.

I would also prefer a module. that way I can use the PA2 and the Audya without having two complete keyboards.

Lee S.

Are you willing to pay $3000.00 + for a Audya module?

KETRON,

AUDYA module PLEASE,

All the guts, are there, the research has been done, design a box around it, and sell, sell, sell,

not only for keboard players
BUT for guitar players as well

Frank,
I just searched and found some thread from Italy. In particular a review from a fellow that has been using the Audya to play out. It is a long review and I will try to litterarly translete its content. But in a few words he thinks that althoug the instrumnent has a lot of potential, as a product he feels that it is not mature yet.

He also mentioned that the live arrangements sound unbelievable althoug he suggested not to change the time of them as the loop do not move well with the time and you start to hear 'strange' things.

He also mentioned about the piano sample lacking some presence, but that may be due to his taste and perhaps amplification, although he mentioned that the other sounds were fantastics.

Its memory stick actually locks the Audya.

More to come...
Claudio

Hopefully some of that was addressed with the new OS update that was released today

Thanks for the info,

Where's are shirts?
