AJ,

will AUDYA bring us brand new styles or just the same old styles from XD, SD series except reworked with audio loops?

will i get a new merengue, cumbia, bolero, soca, bossa, etc??

i know they will be audio based, and sound fresh, live, but anything brand new?

i want some fresh NEW stuff, not just same exact styles with an audio/live feel to them

hope also that they will add some GOOD modern stuff, dance, techno, etc, a little of everything for everyone...

last question....
will AUDYA be expandable..meaning perhaps new audio loops and styles down the road we can download and import?

or what's in the box is all we get. that's it..!! ??

thanks...

Audya probably be more contemporary than SD etc. I only wish they keep or add a stylesection that
is not too far from the SD1 / SD5 styles as well.
Sooo many great Ketron styles already created, and it would be sad if not rebuildt to fit Audya.

Cheers

i want all existing styles BUT improved with better sounding samples/sounds & KILLER audio loops,

and want a TON of new MODERN styles

want it to be upgradable (both styles and sounds)

want it to come out soon

and want it to be competitively priced with Tyros 3, G-70, PA2X

is that too much to ask for ?

Hallo,

Audya is NOT comming.
Unexpected problems in the development.

Regards,

Carlo.

Leezone, yes it is a lil too much, we wish a lot.
Carlo, do you represent the company? Cuz i've
never heard of you in the offices here.

YES!


Oh well, first, if it's so that the styles from previous Ketron models can't be converted
or loaded, then it hopefully have an easy composer to edit what there is and/or that make
it easy to create styles by ourseves.

But Ketron probably mean business, 1st goal is to earn money, so there will be only a "few"
styles onboard the Audya, and Ketron are going to produce styles an mass to sell separately.
And the price of styles wil not be low...... neither will Audya according to what already
predicted.

But, if Audya turns out to be the ultimate arranger keyboard, and it is made to be expanded
and upgraded by hard and software, it could be worth the price.

Anyway, time will tell, and when I closed my eyes and looked into the crysta ball, I could
see Audya arrive at 01 April 2009.

Cheers and Happy Playing

I don't use the onboard styles. my sd1 is a platform where i can play my loops and samples. the greatest thing about sd1 is that it is the only keyboard i know that have 1 touch selection of 8 sounds and samples. I change sounds a lot. sometimes twice in a single bar, so this is very important to me that the Audya had the same feature.
the worst thing is the limited sampler, and that it have glitches and "hick ups" and I own two sd1s so i know it is the instrument's fault.
my guess is that AUDYA will not be that expensive. it must compete with other keyboards and it can be a little more than the competition but not a lot more.

AJ,

can you please correct Carlo, and give us the REAL facts about the AUDYA...

or is he correct, the AUDYA is not coming out...

Any new model has always accepted any of the previous models styles, why would that change now. AJ has already stated that the audya will take all of the styles on any previous model.

I'm sure that there will be some of the sd5 styles in the audya and some new also.
