Come on, Lee...no drummer plays THAT loud...it's dominating the rest of the style, not driving it.

Every knows the essence of a style/band is it's bass...that's what drives it...it's the foundation....you can play without a drummer, but you can't play without a bass.

i was referring to the QUALITY of the Drums NOT it's VOLUME,

you can easily just turn down the AUDYA's Drums to your liking, save your style,
the Drums will still sound GREAT

now if you turn UP the T3's Drum Tracks, and save,
well i guess you'll just get a bit more "SUCK"

Ian, answer this then

would you rather hear a band with an Acoustic Drum Set?
or an Electronic Drum Set?

Acoustic is to AUDYA... as
Electronic is to Yamaha

Actually Lee, the Yamaha drums are better balanced than the Audya, if this is their default volume.

If I played with drummer that loud, I'd hide his sticks, or wrap 'em in duct tape.

There is such a thing called "balance"...Yamaha and Roland can manage it quite well...not so the Audya...perhaps it's to hide the guitar parts.

Bass and Drums the Ketron way. Nice.
Again, when listening to these demos posted by Frank,
Ketron manage to make it sound like it's the very
same "band" playing regardless to what style choosen.
Just as experienced at SD1 ....

Thanks Frank, please post some latin and world styles too.

And play some complex chords...please?

You're right, but this is also about personal taste, just as we can
hear in different recording productions and bands performances.
Also I would like to hear it through a desent PA before final judge.
But, I agree that in this demos the drums sounds a bit loud compared
to the rest of the instruments.

Don't get me wrong, Jonny, I think the Audya's drums sound terrific, but they should be evened out with the rest of the style...and you're right, every style sounds like the same band.

I will say that's one concept that all the arranger makers could benefit from and is clearly why Ketron sounds so live. When you're playing the more traditonal styles it does sound like the same band is going from one style to the next. Keeps a cool flow to the music and adds to the live feel.

Exactly!
If you take a flashback to Solton/Ketron models, it's the same thing.
When listen to Korg, it's a kind of the same thing ... or?
