Ian,
what's amazing is that: you CAN hear the "lack" of FULL complex chords on audio guitar , (addition of midi notes) but CANNOT hear that as a whole, the AUDYA rocks the socks off over T3, for "in your face, LIVE sound"
also, in your opinion, what's the backbone of a band? if you had to pick 1 instrument...what's the foundation?
would you not say bass? and drums? and everything else is gravy...
but you have the RIGHT to hate AUDYA, ONLY if you TRY it like me, i doubted it, but when i heard it, and played it next to my G-70, NO COMPARISON, for my music of course :-)
play it and you will not be thinking of that one midi guitar note...
don't hate midi so much, cuz YAMAHA uses it ALL the time, so stick to Yamaha my friend :-)

Well, Lee, it may rock the socks off anything out there, but it's not worth a soot to me if the guitar parts are improperly voiced and sound like soot. You heard them on the demo and didn't like them, but now your opinion has changed...that's fine, you obviously are more concerned with a rough and ready sound, than one that is more refined, detailed, and correct. Anyone who plays jazz (and sophisticated Pop) would be very concerned how a keyboard handles root notes/inversion, and rootless voicing, as well as anyone who plays Latin (properly). I'm glad the Audya appeals to you...so far I'm not convinced, but I am willing to be educated and learn more about how the Audya processes audio/midi guitar chords. I said in an earlier post, the Audya, like the Tyros3/PSR-S910 won't appeal to every-one's taste, and needs, and style of play. I don't do dance stuff...I mostly do recording now and I like having and hearing details in the music that are correct and refined. That's why I use Yamaha arrangers...if I wanted to go with bingity bangity dancy type stuff with emphasized bass and drums, I might choose something along the lines of the Audya, but more likely it would be Roland (or maybe Korg)...although I can get a pretty potent sound out of the S910 with some style editing and EQ'ing. I'm sorry I don't share your enthusiasm for the Audya just yet...when are you buying one? When it is fixed? Or, do you believe it is exactly what you want right now? If so, why aren't you playing one? Surely it can't be the price? It rocks the socks off everything, so whatever it costs, it would have to be part of your kit. I know if I felt that way about an instrument, I'd have it right away. Personally, I'm with Diki...I think you're just dreaming. Ian [This message has been edited by ianmcnll (edited 04-07-2010).]

i'm not playing one NOW, as i'm waiting for AUDYA4 module
i play my OLD XD3, and G-70 but 80% is Ketron, i like it more and so does my audience
i also need to know if i can upgrade the "wimpy" 80GB hard drive to something of today' standards, 1TB
Ian, you mentioned that i bitched on lack of FULL audio chords, yes i did, but when i started playing it, that was the last thing on my mind :-)
FYI IAN, Latin is very broad, not all latin music uses Bbm11+13 chords
ever hear of Merengue, Cumbia, Bachata, Salsa?
i don't play Latin Jazz

That was nice, but can you have the guitar parts only...no bass and drums please....we already know they sound great.
If you could, throw in some slash chords (on bass) as well.
I would like to hear the guitar parts only, and playing the chords that involve audio and midi guitars.
That would be the real acid test, in my opinion.
Thanks,
Ian
