So, If you have $3300 (Street price on a PA2XPRO in the USA) to spend AND that's still a lot of $$$....Which one would you buy?

No decision....I ain't putting out $5,000 for an arranger, and I bet I'm not alone.

Gosh, I could add a Yamaha S910 to a PA2 for about the same $$$. It would be nice and portable too.

Ray I'm in Brisneyland, and the price I found (after a quick search online) was not $10,000 - My bad - it's $9999 lol (I kid you not!) from Austral Piano World, based in Victoria I believe.

@ Taike - yes, I wouldn't mind that price for a PA2, but I really WOULD miss the guarantee, because it's the only board I would gig with - I have no backup!

@ GJ - sorry about the Bold....at least I edited the quote....

808 drumkit and the like.
Good sounding "Dance Sampled" Drums.
Good Modern Synth/Rave-like sounds?

I realise not a lot of us here on the boards need this, but all I hear about the Audya is how great the live sounding drums are (which is good - I'll sure use 'em!) but I need more.

Let's face it, for better or for worse, all of us at some point (unless you are doing ONLY Jazz/Acoustic/Traditional songs) will need at least SOME sort of modern Drum/Synth sounds.

How does the Audya fare with these kind of Genres (styles or sounds - specifically sounds)??


No, there is nothing like that nor there wont be cuz Audya's engine is more Acoutic
and has VERY little basic editing capabilities to actually create sounds like that.
I know few in here will tell you yes, maybe even AJ himself but trust me, no, there i
nothing like that on Audya.

And charged me $3700 on top of that!

A scam? Are you sure? In fact I bought a Lamborghini at a very cheap price. Granted that it looks a bit like a VW beetle but appearances can be deceiving.

Thanks for the review. It sounds like an incredible keyboard. That's kind of in a Wersi price range which is beyond what a lot of folks can pay.

If they could create a $2000 model, that would interest some folks like me.

I had a lot of build problems when I briefly owned a Solton X1. They kept sending me replacements that were just as defective. The third replacement worked perfectly but had a big gash on it. I sold it at a loss and vowed to never deal with those guys again.

That was close to ten years ago.

Now, we're still hearing stuff about defective chipsets and stuff. We're also hearing great reports like this, however.

I'm sure that for someone with big bucks, this is just the right keyboard.
