i say a BIG YES to an AUDYA-M

anyone?

if not,
what would these NEED to have (that AUDYA doesn't) to convince you?

Well, we ALL know you aren't going to get one, so is this question academic, or just curiosity?

You KNOW it won't have USB3, 1TB HD, 2GB RAM, all the other things that no keyboard in the WORLD has, yet, and it won't be much cheaper (if any) than the current Audya is. So, you'll still sit on the sidelines and bitch...

Personally, if an Audya was in my future, it would be the 76 version. The module worries me (I'd love to add one to my G70) because Ketron's MIDI implementation on the Audya looks barebones at best. They would have to SERIOUSLY beef up that section before it would be practical, IMO.

But I am content with USB1, let alone USB3, won't use the sampler live much (and prefer VSTi samplers and my Kurzweil in the studio), so won't need 2GB sample RAM (which, even at the Audya's pretty decent load up speed, would take a month of Sunday's to fill ), and realize that, in practical terms, a 1TB HD would remain mostly empty even with ALL the real world sounds I'd ever need on board, I am STILL far more concerned that, if I played a Gsus7 chord, my audio guitarist would PLAY a Gsus7 chord, not some MIDI stand-in...

So, in fairness, I am not so much waiting for a 61 or a module of the Audya... I am waiting for a TRUE Audya2 with the horsepower and capabilities to do what we all wanted it to do (musically) in the first place.

Sorry, Lee but I have absolutely no interest in any type of Audya. I've never seen or heard one and probably never will. What is an Audya anyway? Is that a Ketron product? I've never experienced anything Ketron. This is one of the very few Audya threads I've even looked at.

No not interested in a Audya.

can be interested in a module but not if it cost something like 4-5K

Yes, I would be very interested in an Audya module although I'm not expecting one to appear.
Ketron do, at least, always have a module among their line up (I wish all the other manufacturers did the same) and I have had sterling service from an MS40 for many years.
Would buy an SD3 from them if they would just replace the floppy with a USB port but still waiting.

Not if it has only 61 keys.

I don't understand.

Am I the only one who feels this way about 61'ers?

Nope! I'm sticking with what I have.

NO to KETRON!

Diki,

if the AUDYA module is for real,
i just may surprise you my friend...
