Would have liked to see one shipped out here so the Ketron fans in California would have had a chance to come in and try one out! This was not smart marketing.

I have one thing AJ...on a stupid 5000$ machine give us a Sampler thats able to at least do
50% of what a 2000$ PA800 Sampler has, not more but only 50%...nothing else.

Thanks

ouch...

Its not Ouch, its straight forward and honest, isnt it? I'd like to have a sampler on the Audya.

Ok, i wasnt quite objective up there but lets get real, an honest input huh?:
5000$=

1.I would like to see the RAM expanded up to 512MB or 1GB, at least 512MB.
2.I would like the AUDYA to have a Sampler (which at this time it don thave one).
3.I would like to see the Audya have a sequencer in it, at least 16 tracks, please
dont say has one, the SongPlay mode can be manipulated by recording from
a Style, thats not a Sequencer, i want one like on the PA series.
4.I want a Style Ediort/Creator (which Audya dont have one now) with event Editor.
5.I want Sounds Editing abilities and functions (changing FX presets and adding
aftertouch to a sound i dont call Sound Editing). I am talking about SCRATCH!

Now, thats all i want but all of that to be the same as on a 900$ Korg PA80 or
2000$ Korg PA800 (forget PA2X, thats way ahead of Ketron, probably in 2030),
it doesnt have to be more advanced, just like that exactly. I would reasonably say
600$ per each feature above that Audya doesnt have and it cant be called a synth
or an arranger without those, 5x600$=3000$, thats minus present price.
Final price??? 1999.99$!
Now there is nothing for Ouch in here...at least i believe so. I would love someone
to prove me wrong, actually i wish, i challenge Anyone including AJ.

What the audya has going for it is its drums, the live sound and the half finished audio guitar loops. Midjay too I guess but not everyone needs it.

All of the Ketron products since the X1 have had real live drum loops on many of their styles. How is the Audya any different in that department?
Just from the pictures, players who use pitch bend and modulation wheels do not like them way up high on the front of the keyboards. On the left side of the lowest keys is the most practical spot even if it makes it a little longer.

Untill everything finished, the stuff i mentioned above AUDYA is nothing more then a
MIDJAY PLUS with KEYS, NOTHING ELSE!
Actually Midjay is better, it reads SD5 styles better then AUDYA, it should be more money then
Audya itself, maybe 2100$ while Audya 1800$ maybe.

And as Dikki said on another post, how can anyone give an input when 95% of them dont
even know what Audya has already, to ask for something firs ou have to know what you got.

... points above have been well noted.

We will revisit again once more units have become available in the US in order to get TRUE feedback (I wasn't aware the US supply was that limited at first).

As for those in Europe/Asia ... etc, any feedback?

Thanks,

AJ
