The 12 or 13 gb is the whole os3. Or whole os4. I believe
The 1.2gb is probably JUST the update

No, OS4.0 and the new sounds and styles were included in the 1.29 gigs. However, I haven't found any new styles yet. I'm investigating that now.
The new sounds are definitely there.

Don,

When you got the dvd or stick did you get the proper loading procedure with it, I don't think you can just load the files on just like that, that's why you got the funnies. Maybe you have the script, the official upgrade will have it. I don't know who started the 12Gb story maybe the points in the wrong place 1.2Gb my maths are crap too!

the 12gb is most likely all the "old" or shall i say original audio loops

this DVD seems to be ONLY new stuff, OS4, new audio loops, new styles, new sounds etc..,

so in order to use this DVD you have to have OS3 installed,
because it ONLY adds to it

this is how I see it.

there's no way everything inside AUDYA is only 1.2 GB

but AJ/Ketron would know best.

OK copy that Don re only the new styles sounds etc, however i'm still struggling with the "why isn't it out yet with the installer from Ketron, unless there are still problems with it. The sugestion that its hard to serve that amount of memory is absurd in today speak, so come on Ketron please deliver so we can get all the good news flowing.

I still think Ketron should deliver OS4 as standalone
not as an update
on 2 dual layer DVD's

you should then run DVD
all your user sounds. User styles get backed up automatically to computer
then erases your entire audya HD
then loads ENTIRE new OS from scratch
then your user sounds, user styles are loaded back to AUDYA

Leezone,

Say that again!

Tony,

that means you agree?

Yep Leezone it's Friday night, I agree anything you say and a peaceful life.
Have you been over on the dark side today.

Tony

Well there are new styles there, and most of the older ones have been re-worked, some are very subtle, some more noticeable. The transitions are smoother and the styles better balanced. You can go from one style directly to another without stopping and with no audio glitches.
There are new overall e.q. presets. Instead of the four or five blank e.q. slots, there are named presets, all of which can be edited and saved. A good change.
I am having to redo almost all my registrations. I had a lot of them calling up right-hand lead sounds that were Programs or from my custom Voice List. Since all the Programs and Voice Lists are changed because of the new sounds, I have to load each registration, change the sound (in most cases) and resave. No big deal, but with a couple hundred registrations, it takes a little while. I'm about half finished and want to use it tonight, so I have work to do.
I have not yet had time to explore and listen to all the styles.
I am extremely pleased with the new OS and the sounds.
I am sort of a crashtest dummy to prepare the new package for distribution.
