From a really reliable source: 12-21-2012. And again, hold on to your socks this time!

Nedim,

How many threads have we got going with this subject matter, 3. Whatever, I can tell you that OS4 bells and whistles will be out shortly, just tell us who your really reliable source is, not Turkey please, can't be Greece there no on in there! Italy perhaps.

Tony

I think Nedim was just being a smart alec...and his 'source' is located more towards Central Mexico than Turkey

Darn, that’s inconvenient. Well maybe on the dark side then.

CheChe Nitza!

I think what Nedim is saying is come on Ketron pull your finger out and release the updated sounds and styles,,,, oh please i'm salivating, back to the med cabinet it's time for some more quiet time!!!

Ah Coma FM what was that Ketron,, more meds please!!!

Think it looks like July now guys

Tony

July of what year, I'm inclined to think Nedim's prediction of Dec 2012 is about right, pitty really because if the Mian's are right that's "the end of the world as we know it" (Good Song!)

Hi Guys,

I heard from Frank that he thinks he's getting the new stuff this month.

Probably Dealers first, the rest of us after.

I would guess later this month or July.

I hope so, that will give us something new to talk about.

It's been pretty boring around here lately!

Hope you are all having a Great Summer so far.

Jim R.

Jim,

Got to agree with you there! If we wait much longer it will be winter again and that's when AJ started the countdown last winter, do you remember back then!

Sokratis 1974:

Thank you for sharing the information about the new Styles and Solo Voices. All I can say is " WOW "!

What an improvement in the solo voices. It's hard to believe that the voices can keep getting better!

The release of the complete 4.0a to us Audya owners will be worth the wait.

Thanks for sharing this with us!

Jim R.

Jim,

They are good, believe me and they will be worth waiting for it just appears to be a funny way of doing things that we are just not use to, I work in the Building Management software (BMS) business and we have updates going around weekly to fine tune things until it's perfect as can be, if there is a problem it gets fixed within a week. The internet is a powerful tool and our updates get sent this way, apparently this next update won't go that way, it's coming to you in the post.

DonM,

It looks like you have got a very early version and they are still adding things on the fly to OS4, I think there maybe things in there like early Ketron products that people liked. I saw a young man in Oldham town centre (UK) on Saturday playing for charity a SD1 with two broken keys blowing people away.

Dear Jim and Tony.....
I watch each day the discussion that you have here .......
I had not made register in synthzone up to today because my English is very bad......
Nevertheless I took this decision because really have been heard despite a lot of inaccuracies and realy did not see that it existed a lot of times somebody in order to he says the truth .....
For example I remember before released the 4.0a has been heard that it will not exist Pattern edit....
However I know that it would exist sure.....
I worked despite very with a engineer of company < each midday with a new MEM file > in order that we to work perfect < in Patern edit > ....
Of course in Patern edit do not exist the all operations in the 4.0a .....
They have been applied new possibilities < as Copy from diferent style >, also still fix and have improved certain other operations and certain other dysfunctions.
All these will come with a new update in whoever however I cannot say more .....
Sorry again for bad English....
Thanks
Sokratis

Oups.....sorry.......

Finally some good news...
Thanks Sokratis and welcome on forum.

Thank you Dusan....

Steady on Dusan this is not in writing yet the only people who are not saying anything are the people who are going to release it.

Tony, yes I knew that my version is a work in progress, but it has added a lot as it is. I'm waiting for the finished product, but enjoying what I have.
DonM

Yep not much is changing with the Ketron anouncements, or the lack of them and any communication. This is what always happens someone not connected directly is the one giving the info out,,, boy oh boy how long is this going to take, talk about gone with the wind, this is an epic saga of almost infinite proportions

Don,

I hope there is nothing quirky about the files you put on the Audya because when you put the real software on, Audya isn’t that clever to stop you when it overwrites files and you need to be very careful when you start deleting files from the Audya, do be careful when you get you memory stick Dom, don’t want you to end up like Skude, half his KB in Norway and the other half last seen on a bench under a pile of dust in Italy. Loading files onto the Audya is not like putting a DVD on the television.

Cast you minds back to AJ Count down for OS4 and sounds and stlyes, did you know he started it last Christmas, doesn't time just fly when you are having fun.

Tony
Not in Italy yet, but may be that's were it will end up one day. Still waiting for parts, feels like I have been doing that for quite some time now. Set a new (world)reckord last week, 6 restarts to get it to work. First 5 restarts, no luck, played for an hour without count in and almost no left hand sound. That gave it a last shot and everything was back to normal. Audya has been good to me this week. What more can I ask for
skude

Skude,

You could ask Frank for our money back and let him sort it out with Italy, but I think pigs will learn to fly first. You are like a fart in a space suit, they just wish you would go away! Frank could then sell your Audya to someone who doesn't use COUNT IN and is deaf in the left ear.

Skude how about asking Frank to do a swop with no cash for a black X7 and start over again, sorry your too old now, not enough hours left on the clock. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

[This message has been edited by Tony Hughes (edited 06-08-2010).]

Skude,

If you had bought X7 from Dom you would have had the parts 6 months back, he will sell direct and you could have gone to him for the faulty part and cut out the two middle men. see below how Dom treats his customers. Appear to me that there is some advantages of dealing with a small family firm. I think the only way you will get your parts is by poking someone in the eye with a burnt stick, everything else appears to have failed.

Normally we can shipping the keyboard, 2-3 days after we get the payment.
Mediastation and Groove use the same PCB hardware, different on groove is only the new case and powersupply full ATX.
We have started again a new Groove X-7 production hardware because in this last 3 weeks we sold about all, remain available the last 2-3 Pcs.
The next 100 Pcs stock will be available end July, so don't worry for the spare parts.
If some is brocken, we can change/shipping in some days.
For the new MS MKII, I will release the first Pcs before the next NAMM show, so, before January 2011 will be not available.
