I would suggest, if the Audya has a decent guitar amp simulator, of trying to put a clean guitar sound (Tele, Strat, etc.) into it and get the crunch there. I have little time for sampled distortion, as it doesn't do what guitars actually do when you play more than one note on them.

i just want to say,
MUCH more important than what sounds are missing/better in OS3, etc, is...

FIXING those audio loop glitches, where it repeats drum audio loops etc,
as can be heard in the example i posted in another post...

timing in styles is WAY more important than a slightly better sound for a guitar, or a different sax

here's the link again where you can hear
audio glitches, in sound and timing and is still present in MANY of the styles

i'm not bashing Ketron, just pointing out the facts
and what i feel needs fixing sooner than later

hopefully 4.1c will fix this

I also think we have to get rid of those glitches, many of my not so musically talented friends hear that there comes glithes that almost makes a little pause before it loops audio.

Better drum sets, all the midi controlled drums sounds terrible.
Include the drums from the loops to the drum sets!

is these glitches still going on in teh new Audya 5 also?

yes these audio glitches are present in BOTH the AUDYA 4 and 5

hopefully 4.1C or 5.0 will fix these issues

i ghope so at those prices it should almost flawless...we'll see......when is the new Os update going to be available?

So we have ...

PRESET/PROGRAM
STRINGS (String Ensemble)
ETHNIC (Mandolin)
GUITAR (Hawaian)

DRUMS
GM Drums.

Ok, I'll run of with this now and see what can be done. Thanks for your input.

AJ,

as one person suggested,

possible to use programs in styles?
