Scott,

These are old demos

Hi Scott
God bless your kinfolk for sponsoring these. Since I just installed my new update, I was very interested in some of the new sounds.

Thanks
Bernie

Old demos or not, I still enjoyed them immensely.

Robert is an awesome performer, and he showcases the Audya the way it should be done.

I really liked Night Birds...a timeless tune, in my opinion, and very nicely played.

Thanks Scott, for the refresher.

There must be some really new demos out there?

Ian

Those SMF files sound great on the Audya also. Gives a nice backup to play over too. It was nice to see these again. I noticed an SD2 on top also?

Ian,

I don't think there are any new demos, I think the whole sales are slowing down for all KB,the market is flat and £4200.00 is a lot of money for a KB. I think the Wersi Wing will be interesting its only £2500.00 I think Wersi want high numbers but they will need to get over their poor previous performance before they get high numbers.

It won't be too long now I am told, about June or July this year Leezone

I didn't realize that, especially because yoku (China's YouTube Equivilent) cited Messier's 'Night Birds' Song was only uploaded 19 hours ago. Either way, I still think these demos sound very impressive. I love the awesome sound of my Tyros 4, but think the Audya's unique live raw sound presence would make a wonderful addition.My only concern with Audya right now is its often reported reliability issues and aftermarket local support concern, especially repair turnaround time.I've been seriously considering an Audya for a long time now, so hoping enough Ketron owners will finally convince me that its reliability and other reported bugs (occasional timing glitches utilizing audio loop styles) have finally been resolved.

Bernie and I had the privilege of meeting and playing arranger keyboard music together a few years ago at the Synthzone Jam in Florida. That was a blast! Wonderful memories. Bernie, I trust that you're continuing to enjoy your Ketron Audya. It would be also be great to hear something recorded by you on it.

Ian, I concur about Robert's playing. He comes off as both a fine musician (not stuck up with attitude) and a gentleman, not an oily slick 'salesman'. Ketron is lucky to have a man of his talent & temperament on their team.

I agree, I met Robert last year, real nice chap, Brilliant.

Tony

Anybody know who the German Audya demonstrator is on this video. He is good as well:

Audya 5 Demo

Hi Scott
Yes, I am enjoying my Audya76 immensely. Although intuitive to a large degree, I have not learned half of what it can do. Mine has operated flawlessly, and looking forward to see what the upgrade does. Also, Ajamsonic has wonderful things in store.

Robert Messier sounds fantastic! I love the Audya. A friend of mine just got one- hopefully he'll let me record some music with it

The kybrd does sound impressive and the quality of the playing is superb as well. Does anyone have any experience with the Audya module? It seems to have all the features/sounds/etc of the A5. Has anyone heard it or used it? It is a TOTL arranger in modular form - one of the only ones as far as I can see.

Scott,

Don't know who he is but this is another old demo, think this is at least 1year old.This has been played more times than THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Sorry

hahah I think Scott is T4 You Tube addicted lol ....the date the Video is posted on You Tube doesn't necessarily mean that its thedate the video itself was created...

I wouldn't say he is the only one "YouTube addicted"...gee, who puts up more YouTube links than you, "The Duke of URL".

You guys are addicted to YouTube...but, so what, it isn't a bad thing when you think of it?

I don't know where you guys find the time...especially you, Donny, with your multiple gigs per day...do you take your computer with you? Ha Ha!

Of course, I'm a fine one to talk...I watch YouTube a lot too...I don't have a TV, so it is my entertainment.

I like Tony's comment... "This has been played more times than THE SOUND OF MUSIC."

Ian

The hills are alive . . . .

Ian as you well know in todays high tech world with a smart phones anyone is well capable of posting anything including you tube videos from anywhere, even from dressing rooms in between sets.. .... heck with a MS you can do it from teh KB itself ....
Some weeks are very busy, some not so much my choice.....plenty of time to enjoy the internet, family, hobbies, and friends....that's what life is all about.

Heck, Donny, I don't even have a cell phone...nor do I want one.

I took the entire winter off from gigging, and lo and behold, that's when I decide to buy the Tyros4.

One thing for sure, I am getting lazier everyday...except for playing. Not having to look at every piece of music as a potential "gig" tune, and to just play for the love of playing, really makes a big difference.

Life is all about priorities, Donny...to me, the key to happiness isn't money or possessions – it's having the free time to enjoy life. Happiness comes from within. And, to me, happiness comes from playing music.

Man, I am so glad I bought the incredible Tyros4. I'm even jealous of myself!

Ian

Ian I'm sure you and your Tyros4 will be very happy together ....enjoy!!

I wonder if this inspired the first arranger?

Ian I see you tubin' is contagious....

I'm blamin' you and Scott!

Ian

Always a pleasure to watch those videos. Robert is a great musician and like many said, very genuine and humble. I had the priviledge of seeing him many times doing keyboard and organ demonstrations. Would love to see videos of him on the organ but havent found any. If you have, let me know!

Paul, anytime

Paul, perhaps you can post (with Tye's permission of course)
that 'cool' shot you took of him performing on his Audya + Tyros 3 setup at his recent gig.

Scott, If you only knew how "uncool" I felt that first time I've ever played a gig without my SD1, haha

Hi Guys,

his name is Manni Pichler.

He works as an demonstrator in Germany, in former times as well for Korg.

If I remember correctly this video was recorded on the Frankfurt (Germany) Musikmesse 2010.

You can see him playing MIDI-Accordion via Audya here :

Hell she's out of breath!

Tye (aka: Shade of Pale):
I can't explain how you 'felt', but you certainly 'looked' cool
playing your Tyros 3 in this impressive performance shot
Paul (aka: Montunoman) captured of you with his iPhone. Good job.

Great picture, Scott, and impressive looking setup.

Ian

Scott, Ian,
Thanks for the kind words, now if I can play like you guys

Ian, Wow, I share these same feelings. Music, Music, music. The rest is just keeping score. I love your post.
