There are a few of you out there that have the luxury of owning both, the Tyros 4 and Audya. If you could only have one keyboard, which would you choose?

If I had the BUCKS and was going to buy the next arranger, hands down without a doubt the KETRON AUDYA, and I guess you want to know why? This is my opinion, biggest factors in the purchase would be the sound, the live drums and guitar blow away anything out there, then you have innovation, actually playing a song and never sounding the same each time you play it,these two features alone would sway be more on this board, but then some one else would disagree totally, either way they are both good keyboards.

Vangelis,

I have both KB T4 and Audya, I am going to put them side by side one day and I will let you all know, but if you are saying drums and guitar are better on the Audya thats only 5% of the KB, what about the rest of the KB, the T4 has styles that Audya will never have.

The KB access on the T4 is far superior, screen, buttons menus etc

Tony

It depends Tony, how you look at it? invite a good keyboard player for an experiment , setup both keyboards with the same PA and have them side by side, blind fold your eyes sit in the hotspot and listen to each one, doesn't matter if you have bigger buttons or a touch screen, to me sound is 90% to someone else it could be 50% that's personal taste, now who do you think would win? I am not talking about style or how good it was written, don't confuse the two, I am talking about how close you can get an arranger to the real thing of a lIVE band sound, that's what the Audya is about, now the TYROS 4 has alot of other goodies like a huge sampler but again almost same concept from Tyros 1,2,and 3.
