It most likely has something to do with the audio portion and why it wasn't included. All other style editing/creating on other keyboards are all midi based.
They released a style software, which is the pattern edit feature on the older models.
What freaks me out, is that here I was, complaining that Roland's budget arrangers didn't have style editing/assembly/creation, and here is a TOTL arranger
without it...and yet, the Audya buyers think that's okay.
OS4 will have it, eh? Let's just see if it works as well as some of the other features, like audio style parts that don't play
all chord types...this was also promised to be upgraded, and perhaps it was to a degree, but it still falls short of it's
full potential....and it's only a
basic expectation that it will read all chords.
Audya seems to be selling
anticipation more than actual
content.
I feel bad for the owners who are struggling with this instrument and getting it sorted out....that must be
very frustrating, after spending a pile of loot on a $5000 arranger, that doesn't have the same level of
basic features as a $699 Casio.
That's what is so unfair....and the scary part is that it might be dropped as soon as they can fix it enough to get by....I think they'll drop it, and turn to less expensive and less featured models, that will have bits and pieces of the Audya in them....that's if they don't go belly up first. JMO
Time will tell.
