Major music retailers can't even sell what they have their stores now. I haven't seen a Roland in Sam Ash or Guitar Center in over 7 years. Ketron has always done well in smaller mom and pop stores.

"Ketron has always done well in smaller mom and pop stores."

problem is these mom & pop stores are very few and far between, so how is one to go try one out?

this is why many (ie. Diki) will probably never buy AUDYA as keyboard is nowhere where one can try it out....

Thats one of the problems no more mom and pop stores, rondos music on route 22 was a big seller of ketron, there now gone. I would call ted from CMG (ketronusa.com) to see if they can locate one for you. I never had a problem with Lou from Bell Duvox(former ketron dist.), but there now gone also.

I won't rely on diki buying one anyway....

supposedly Mr. Sound has 1 AUDYA
but i'm waiting for OS2 to drop b4 i go try it

I would really love to be able to save Intros, Endings, Reintro, Fill and breaks along with the single registrations. A feature like this would really give some great opportunities in performance.

I think Ketron should take a look at how Yamaha's registrations are working. All the above is possible on Yamaha keyboards and is the single feature that makes them stand out.

Add this ability to Audya and you have not only the best sounding arranger but also the most powerful in performance.
