... your input and suggestions will be appreciated. First of all, as you all know, we've put a lot of research into developing the AUDIO styles (and of course there is still more room for growth to enhance this technology even further [which we will do]), but OUR CUSTOMER'S INPUT (as always) is needed here to make such a great board even better.

What gene of styles would you like to see us add (give STYLE TYPE -E.G of song - Artist

*e.g REGGAE - Stirr it up - Bob Marley

This will give us an example of the direction to head for future style developments. Please, listen to the styles we have on there now BEFORE making suggestions so we do not duplicate what we already have.

* What sounds would need further elaboration/enhancing?

Other features and ideas (existing or to be developed) are also welcomed.

Thanks,

AJ

A simple to use PC editor to create and edit sounds, styles and sequences.

to the genesy

Already in the works together with one for AUDYA itself. This appears to be the way of the future - editing and creating on PC (personal computers that is).

Thanks,

AJ

"Already in the works together with one for AUDYA itself"
Does that mean that there will be other PC editors for other Ketron products like the MidiJay?
Another feature I was thinking about is a style part mute feature but with an added twist. When a part is muted, you can play that part live on the keyboard with the same sounds and effects that that part has on the style. Want to take a bass solo, then mute the bass and have the sound assigned to a live keyboard part for playing. When you are done then unmute the part and retern to where you were before. Whith the drums, perhaps some drum parts can be assigned to a pad so that when you pres the pad, that particular part of the drum kit is muted in the style but being played live by the user. So for example, you can have a bass drum assigned to a pad. So when the user presses the bass drum pad the bass drum would be muted in the styled and you will hear what the user is playing live. So the pad would replace the bass drum in the style by the live playing of the user.

AJ,

I would like to see a new style library (for sale) like the one they did for the MS series back then.

I would also like to see ethnic style packs for different countries, Spain, Portugal, Italy, etc.

I know even with 300+ styles sometimes styles become boring, so releasing new styles can revive a keyboard. But please don't forget the older models like SD5, XD9 if there can be new limited style selection for them that would be nice also.

Similar to, or at least including features found in the SD1 Mastering Studio.

Hi AJ,
As I have already posted in another thread, please make the borad more accessible to the blind and visually impaired musicians.
Is this being worked on?

Dnj made a VERY good point when he said:

"They should of asked before the designed the Audya not now."

ye, more RAM, HD, USB hidden or on back, better knobs, sliders, touch screen, mod wheels where they should be, F buttons lining up with menus

but can't change that....so

how about more guitar loops for more styles, how about finishing recording complex chords, how bout more contemp. styles, how bout dropping price too..

that's it for now

AJ, I'm sure I'll have some suggestions IF and WHEN the Audya becomes available to me. So far the few in the U.S. have already been spoken for. Maybe in the next order.
Unlike some of the others, I won't make suggestions on something I've only seen and and heard for a few minutes and never really played.
I do appreciate your asking though.

AJ,

I would like to see some brass and sax loops.
