Hi All,


I think USB 2 came out in 1999 what the hell are Ketron doing installing USB 1 on a KB launched in 2009 they are 10 years out of date, perhaps it will take another 10 years to get the Audya right. History has a bad habit of repeating it's self, the Audya is missing a floppy??

All you wanna know about USB. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus

i have a feeling...
AUDYA will eventually get USB 2.0
there are other reasons besides hardware which do not permit the 2.0 speed

Hello from Portugal.

1st:
DrumRemix makes a mistaque , he can not put in Internet Confidential Info.

We , the beta Testers , are now testing a 3.0 beta release.

Ketron Labs release the 2.0C version at the same time they close to Holidays.
Now they return and start working on the upgrade.
The only thing i can tell you is that its a fantastic upgrade , lots of things will be improoved and new features will be added.
The most exciting feature for us in Portugal will be the USER AUDIO DRUMS , that give us possibilities of create or in Studio with a good drummer or in VST drum software , the WAV drum parts to play in styles or with midifiles with the Drum Remix option.

Only end of this mounth or next mounth the new release will be avaiable.

As you can see , Ketron listen to the people and are working hard to give to all costumers what they want.
But you must understand that Ketron Labs is not Yamaha , ketron are 1000 x smaller than yamaha.

USB connections are 1.1 for now.
in my opinion is not good , but for now we must wait.

Best regards from portugal

hello Fernando,

it was nice to have met you in Portugal,
thanks for taking the time to talk about AUDYA, and letting me play it.

all i can say is that it must me played to be appreciated,
demos are good, but you must play it
it really felt like i had a band behind me

i really enjoyed the lunch too with you and your wife, and friend,
great fish and kick ass wine, which i can't find here :-(
you guys know how to live it up (2 hr lunches, i'm so jealous)

the AUDYA will get so much better when we have our own drum loops streaming, with OS 3.0, that will make it really OVER THE TOP, no other arranger can do it, and AUDYA will,,, loving it.....

have to start saving :-)

Once again I don't recomend this, it will void your warranty.

wow, that's hot,
now that's hot-swappable,
you're all set

that's the way they should have built it
easy access to Hard Drive

KETRON, maybe you can redisign that bottom plate of keyboard,

i mean it's so cheap to have a backup copy of HD, and in case of Crash, just swap HD, done !!!

way to go frankie

Thanks,

I'm sure things like this will soon make it to the Audya, I just hope they call it the Frankie Caddy or something

they should just have it like on my G-70
you know where you insert your SR card...
plate with 4 screws, easy
drop plate remove HD

and they should make the new (upcoming) sound/ram chip/board easy to access too


i mean the most BASIC things are left out,
come on KETRON....

Nicely done Frank

That will probably void the warranty I think I'll wait a while before tending to such drastic measures. I'm confident that my hard drive won't malfunction and the USB 1 speed is not an issue for me personally.
