That ratio doesn't mean a thing. Synth Zone has around 750,000 visitors per month but most cannot post on the forum unless they are already registered or contact me directly to ask to be registered. That is why the reply -> view ratio is like that. Most people simply can't reply. But that is fine with me if it keeps spammers off the forum.

Nigel,

I forgot about that, anyone can look, and that means anyone, sorry, still it does look like things on here are slowing down and perhaps sales are too, the Audya all the hype gone now and Ketron sorted all the problems in software out>

Regards

Tony

Maybe you are a realist and I an optimist, but knowing things have always been slow with Ketron, I still have hopes things will straighten out.

Tony, and Others who have given up on Ketron.

I personally continue to stay optimistic about Ketron and the Audya. My Audya has performed flawlessly now for the past six months!

I've given it an unbelievable workout performing six and seven nights a week.

After playing professionally for nearly Forty years, this past year has been by far the most enjoyable & successful for me!

Why? THE AUDYA!

The Compliments I receive are endless. I hear more than anything....( That Keyboard Is AWESOME! )

So, my SZ Friends, Despite the technical problems I experienced with my Audya in the past, I remain optimistic and I'm still a big Ketron/Audya Fan!

Jim

Jim,

I haven't given up on Audya I still have mine, I am going to hang on for a bit, Skude is still having left voice problems he does not appear to be able to resolve, it would be nice if someone from Ketron could help him.

Cheers Jim.

Sokratis1974:

That's GOOD NEWS!!! Thanks for letting us know. smile

Hope all is well with you. smile

Tony: Skude Should have pursued and insisted on a New AUDYA from Ketron! It still may not be to late for that!

Has anyone seen the videos of or heard demo's of the new Korg Kronos? It looks like Korg has put together a pretty awesome Work Station. I like what I've seen so far.

Once I get the chance to demo it, I may sell my Tyros 3 and buy one. Let me know your thoughts.

Hopefully with Ketron's upcoming OS update many of the Bugs several are still having will be fixed.

We will ALL look forward to that for sure!

Jim

Just to let you know, Last year Frank offer me another Audya, had to turn it down, the shippingcost from here to him and back was so expencive I might aswell buy me another KB. I'm going back to the US later this year, and for sure I will not buy another Audya. I have no hopes for my Audya, as Tony says, it was made on a monday or friday afternoon. I think Ketron has no quality control on their products, Ketron did send me some new parts once, thanks to the UK distributor, when that didn't help, you're on your own. Bad luck, buy a new piece. Tony and AJ tried to help, even bought a new HD from AJ. Last week no left sound at startup. After 20 months I don't think this problem ever will be solved. How long has this KB been out, 3 years? and they're still working on bug fixes.
