Maybe with the hardware, but I can't say the same with the sounds and styles.

Wow. SZ never ceases to amaze me.

Ketron creates a product that they feel persons would like. They create a product where they know persons are not concerned about adding their own creativity thus the Audya did not originally have much if any editing features.

Then, after the product is release, there is this cry for edit ability edit ability. Persons claimed that the lack of some editing features that calls for creativity makes the Audya an incomplete product.

So, Ketron (unlike some companies), listen to persons request and are going to add free of cost features that would allow persons to be creative.

Now, some persons seem to be implying why even bother; arranger players don’t use those creative features any way.

So we have taken a 360 degrees tern and we are back to the original thinking of Ketron and their thinking to release the Audya the way they did; with limited or no creative edit ability.
But instead of Ketron getting the credit for that thinking, somehow a member on this forum gets credited with putting us in check with reality.

I have to agree with you, At this point maybe it was too soon for the audya to be released, but only ketron knows whether it was financially better to release the audya then vs. now. I'm sure they have their reasons. I can only wonder if Ketron lost some customers due to the early release. But I'm sure they have gained many more since the early release.

I have to say the more I hear it, the more I love its sound.

the one thing that should have been in AUDYA (or via software) from DAY ONE,
is style/pattern editing...
so that's not listening to customers, that's something that ALL arrangers MUST have, and most (if not all) do...

mc, have you played AUDYA?

Not yet,
I was going to in Portugal but I never got the chance to make it to FC Musica. I have to take a ride up to Frank's shop and sit down with it.

those styles from FC Musica sound great.
