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
