When I am home, my teenage son and my facebook addicted wife are always on the laptop. Since I am on line all day at work, the last thing I want is to hop on line.

As a former retail music store owner who carried Ketron products, it would bother me if there was some under mining of opportunity to sell the product.

When I had my music store, AJ worked for me part time. I was around when he met with Ketron and was hired.We go way back.

With that said,retail store owners pay rent and enter into contracts with manufacturers to basically product their inventments.

So I side with retailers who have families to feed. Anyone can sell used Ketrons, but
I see this situation as a conflict of interest and not a good business practice.

It's not fair to retail store owners.

under mining? No one even mentioned that.
But there is no under mining of opportunity to sell the product.
All that is happening is a third party is seeing a need for certain things to be on the product and has the talent to fill that need.

Retailers of Ketron products are free I am sure to make instructional videos, make user styles, make user sounds in order to help sell their product.

Just like some Yamaha retailers give lessons and clinics to help sell Yamaha products.

When it comes to selling you can not be lazy then complain about another person’s hard work and dedication.

Hold on folks...what I am hearing hear is AJ FIXED many problems on the Audya?? Correct? Not just offered new stuff.

At this pont I would ask while in the H has Ketron not fixed all this stuff...FOR FREE.

AJ should sell/charge or special things he developes (sounds/styles).

But, I guess if you bought an Audya and want AJ's stuff....including the fixes, and feel it's the right thing for you...have at it.

Me, If I had paid all that $$ I would expect Ketron to fix any issues including problems with sounds, audio loops, styles etc.

Fixes Ketron should do for free.
Enhancements if a third party wants to charge for them then he/she should.
Now all we have to do is distinguish between fixes and enhancements.

ok Fran, after all this (92+ posts), now the 'all important' question:

Are 'you' sold enough on the Audya to actually buy one?

Scott, since I own two high end keyboards..Roland G70 and Lionstracs Mediastation....I am not a buyer ..yet..

There are some things the G70 does better..edits and SMF play..also make up tools..plus sounds like Scats and other vocals that only the Roland has...

The Mediastation, has a superior media player with dedicated buttons and sliders for edits...It also plays larger samples direct from drive..."streaming"..The Ketron is maxed at 512 mgs (presently)..I use samples large as 2 gigs..

For me the Audya cannot replace either of my present boards..but it does sound great, and could make a great addition in the future..after I get out of the poor house..
Election is 2 more years away..

Fran, talk to Donny. With his busy gig schedule, he should be able to afford to help you out no problem. That's what friends are for after all, right?

If AJ had a retail store and purchased keyboards from the distributor and then modified the keyboards, this would not be a conflict.
