AJ / Ketron...

Could you let us know:

when to expect the software?
if it will be released with AUDYA or come later?
what it will do exactly...


i just hope it converts SMF to styles (like styleworks)
also hope it will let you manipulate the styles & its parts/instruments, note editing, volume, pan, effects, eq, etc.

anything else guys?

Are you talking about being able to tweek all of these edits to an existing style or having these edits available for an SMF that has been "converted to a style"?

i wanna be able to "tweak" any style, whether it was converted from SMF , recorded directly to Ketron, or the internal styles,
mess with the notes, add reverb to tracks, eq tracks, copy parts from one style to another, etc.

Lee, i can only say for the things i know for a fact:
1. It will have an event editor.
2. Each track has its own FX.
3. Not each MIDI drumtrack but each drum has
its own Panning, FX and Volume separate.
4. About EQ dont wanna make a mistake but i know there will be EQ per track and Master.
As i know of those are the ones that will come with it, dont forget, more things will be coming with time.

One thing i wish the AUDYA had which i doubt it will is what the G-70 has...

EQ AND FX (reverb) for for every single instrument on the drumkits....

so you can eq the kick low and make it dry
you can boost highs on snare and add reverb
you can add some mids to each and every conga, timbale with just a touch of reverb

the problem with eq'ing and applying FX to entire drum track, is that it limits you big time, and starts to sound "muddy".

just my $0.02

i need separation on drums :-)

i guess AJ is too busy working on the software right now and can't answer ;-)

Lee this is where the G70 shines like NO OTHER arranger.....it's editing capabilities are unmatched by any kb out there.....makeup & cover tools let you edit sounds & drumkits beyond belief. Some one like you who needs sound creation tools really should take a good look at the G70 capabilities.No arranger Kb on the market can come close to dissecting a drum set piece by piece and effectively letting the player achieve the sound they need for every piece of kit & beyond to create that custom sound.

Dnj,

i do own a G-70, alsong with my XD-3 that is why i am wishing Ketron AUDYA would do same.

i guess the G-70's editing tools, make-up tools, being able to tweak, eq, FX each and every part of drumkit has gotten me SPOILED,

and the G-70's build quality has also SPOILED me big time :-)

Your not the only one that feels like that....I also miss my G70 for all the resons you mentioned.......but I dont miss the weight & size that is why I'm hoping the next version will suit my needs in that respect very soon.BTW the Audya can't do what the g70 can

Donny.., if Roland does release a newer more lemon fresh model to replace the G-70.., I'm willing to bet that the weight will still be an issue for many. Not only that it'll probably still be 76 keys..., and built like a tank. What would probably help you out is if Roland (and the others) got their sh%*& together and start giving their customers what they've been requesting for years...., and that's a FULL MODULE VERSION!

Would you be a happy camper if you could keep using your S900 and was able to add a full module (very light) version of the G-70 to your rig?
