AJ Is it here today?
If so please post link with any information with what it includes.
If not, when can it be expected.
We can use this new topic to have a Serious discussion on OS 4.
There is another topic asking when will OS 4 be released but it is very old and one would have to read a lot of irrelevant information to get to actual information on the Audya and OS 4.
So some one from Ketron, or actual Audya owners should feel comfortable posting here.

Count down is at 4 ...

Unfortunately, I can't say much more ... (got in trouble for releasing the information I previously released already ...)

Ahhh, then it's weeks, and release at NAMM as someone already guessed in other tread.
Good luck

AJ,

What kind of counting method are you using, binary, it was 5 a week ago, it's 4 now that's giberish, Don please help us out it's a long time since I went to school, You know AJ better than me is he on medication. Got it it's music time. a 5/4 beat. This is just a ploy to scupper my thread and my bet with James.I have fell into the trap and replied to this thread, I am doomed. Only joking about the medication steady on it's only an Auyda I am not losing friends over £4200.00. I said Ketron was and enigma I was right!

Cheers all

PS James we are on this thread now don’t go onto the old one, lost my bet, I owe you and the leprechaun a pochin or two.

Tony

Thank you AJ.

Now to all the Audya owners who use it on a regular basis, are there any features that you absolutely love on the Audya 3.0? If so, what are they? What would be the most important thing OS 4 should have?
It would be interesting to find out what features do actual Audya users find most important.

It has outstanding styles and sounds, particularly the pianos. Sounds like a live band.
The vocal processor and vocal harmonizer are excellent.
There are multiple fills AND breaks for each style.
I like the simple endings that all the new styles have. I wish they had re-worked more of the SD styles to match. Sometimes I use an SD styles and hit ending number one expecting a quick, simple one bar ending, and instead hear a more advanced one.
I like the new Operating system. It retains some of the better features of the old system while gaining the ability to function seamlessly with the internal hard drive and external USB drives.
I'm hoping for some more modern instrument sounds that embellish the excellent "bread and butter" sounds that exist on it now.
It would be great if Ketron would develop one-touch setups suitable for specific genres, if not specific songs.
You can make them yourself, but I get really inspired by trying setups out of the Roland Music Finder and OTS systems.
I do hope they finish the chord recognition of advanced chords using the audio guitars, but to tell the truth in real-time performances I don't notice the trade-off between wav and midi guitar parts. If you isolate the style part, then you plainly hear it on augmented and diminished chords.
I would really like to have a chord mode that allows you to play a 3-note chord with the left hand, below the split, then be able to play individual notes without changing the chord until 3 notes are again hit simultaneously. Roland calls this Pianist mode. It was also on Technics I believe.
Ketron does have a mode where you can do this using full keyboard and also when incorporating the sustain pedal to "hold" chords, but that's not what I mean. It's certainly not a deal-breaker, but I would like it.
The Audya as it is is an excellent arranger. I feel it will be unrivaled when the software finally approaches completion.
