Sorry Chaps,

I am but the simple messenger, a bringer of bad tiding, but consider that this occurred only once on New Years Eve and that also this was a Beta version and will certainly not occur on the real OS4, nothing like turning over a new leaf for 2010.Doh!

I currently have an Audya version 4 in beta test.
this is my sixth AUDYA since it is sold!
I knew from the beginning of huge problems.
These problems are partly solved since version 3.0a.
Version 4 is stable, I played the evening of December 31, only one crash, requiring reboots, because of registration!
I said that I realize all my styles with waves in parts audiodrums user.
critical points from Audya, are:
**Memory-Ram ridiculous, unworthy of a machine of the 21st century ...
Of the 64 Mb, 16 Mb are dedicated to Live Guitars, which leaves only 48 mb for SuperSolo!

**Design patterns-not from the keyboard ....

**Ergonomics ill-considered ...

**Pitch Bend ill-adapted as a model PA2 Pro X would be better .
.
**A touch screen is not a luxury!

Musically, the Audya has no lessons to take from its competitors!
What a pleasure to play with a virtual group

Wait a little longer, ca worth waiting .....

Where is OS 3.0 B? C? D? ...e tc???

One crash. There shouldn't be any. Lets hope it's just the beta version.
BTW haven't had any "crash, lock up, freezing" with OS3, (knock on woods) and don't tell me I'm not pushing buttons, and my kb is in use 4-6 hours every day. While playing I'm changing sounds all the time, stepping on my FS13 like a dancer. To most of the styles I'm using I have done changes, ( drums, live guitars etc.) For ones may be I'm one of the few lucky ones, not used to that.(even a brain dead can lucky Tony ) Reading the posts about the Audya makes me feel like I'm waiting for something (bad) to happen,(hope not) Have a gig comming up thursday and then saturday, so let's see.

As some are crashing regardless of OS and others are just fine, I bet the problem is a hardware problem - maybe bad memory or a bad hard drive. This would mean that even with OS version 10c it would still lock up.

Come'on guys, Drumremix are testing, and OS4 is not out yet.
Crash during betatesting don't make me worried at all, but it will do if I buy Audya and it happens
in a released OS4.xxxx.

Cheers

Drumremix,

OS4 worth the wait?

will the AUDYA finally be worth the $5,000 ???

Jonny,

Crashing was cured in OS3.0A or so they said , it should not crash at all in OS4.0 beta or no beta, where this going to end.

I think it is software, if it was Hardware it would be more of a problem with Ketron,the KB would need to go back, you may never see it again and would you want to part with it whilst they tried to get it right, what would you play on whilst you waited a year for you KB to come back, thats what would happen. Your maoney back is a pipe dream.

If ONE person doesn't crash, it's not software, plain and simple. It has got to be hardware.

I am definitely starting to come to the conclusion that unless DonM is deliberately hiding any crashes that he has had, there MUST be a hardware difference between his unit and yours, Tony.

I still don't understand why, in this age of internet, email, skype and arranger forums, you haven't (any of you!) made what seems like the slightest effort to get with each other and try and track this down. I mean, the EASIEST thing you can do is find out who is crashing, who isn't. What serial numbers crash, which don't. What the internal componentry is, are there any differences, and maybe more complicatedly, use a checksum calculator on each of your HD's to see if you are ALL using the same data, or whether it's installed properly.

And PLEASE.... 'It crashes' is about the most useless information (other than as a simple, basic warning) I can think of. WHEN does it crash? What are you doing when it crashes (don't start that again, Tony! You know how I feel about that... at least SOME info can be given, if not the EXACT thing)?

You've had three prior software releases to get yourselves organized, and this is the BEST you can do? I don't think so...

I'm so sorry for all the aggravation this keyboard is causing.

I would never by Ketron. Not since my replacement X1 came back with loose screws floating around when I opened the box - and what proved to be a defective key bed.

The third X1 played just fine, but they didn't tell me before they sent it that there was a big gash on the body of the monster.
