Hi all,

This MUST be said and understood. There is a BEEEEG misconception here & it needs to be put right!!!

We discuss & criticize the Audya as if it's audio only, when in fact nothing is further away from the truth. This will be an eye opener to most critics.

Keep well all my friends,

Henni

... so you 'gym' when you 'jam' ?!? ...

Yup Tony,

'Fraid you're right. This fantastic piece of technology is rather heavy. I always jam with it sitting in my recliner with in on my lap, earphones on my head & all. Trick to get up is to move it away from me first and to then get up in a single, yet very determined attempt whilst holding onto it with everything I have. To top this all, I know there's a hard drive buried in there somewhere, so I have to be a bit docile too when going through all of this.

Really at first it bothered me, but now I see it as good excersice (it's a mind over matter thing ). Someone once said that we pay someone to cut our lawn, we pay someone to wash our car, we pay someone to clean our house, etc. But then we also pay someone so that we can go & move their heavy pieces of metal around aimlessly over at their place & then we call all of this insanity "gym". Which is the same as digging a hole, planting a tree in it, then digging another hole, uprooting the tree & planting it in the new hole and then start all over again.

To top it all, I'm blessed with an very attactive, much, much younger wife. Ha, I cannot for a moment afford to look like something that's ready to embrace the graveyard. There are too many good looking, really talented & professional arranger players like the rest of you guys out there!

We are all a bit silly I guess...

Keep well my friend,

Hennie

Henni,

The Billie Jean stuff.. is so close to the original. If MJ were alive and heard this, then he would start the moonwalk for sure !!
The other manufacturers need to catch up when it comes to the audio stuff

Henni how is Ketron service in south Africa?

Hi Dnj,

I'm not aware of any dealer over here. My friend imported his direct from Ketron four years ago and I recently bought it over from him. I think my Audya is the only one in South Africa. Folks around here are not even aware of it's existence, not even many of the music dealers. (This is no joke, I've experienced this often. They've never heard the name "Audya" before)

For me, this is no issue. I've had various Roland, Korg & Yamaha arrangers to date and not once did I need support for anything. I find EVERYTHING I need not the internet & I've NEVER had any hardware problem yet.

Keep well my friend,

Henni

Hi Jez,

True indeed. Did you notice the ease with which he created that style? And how he copied the audio drums from the intro section only of the actual song?

Also, that Hard Rock song that Robert performs (and sings) close to the end is AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!! Well worth the download or listen.

I must get more bandwidth so that I can download ALL his videos over there. It inspires me for sure!!! This Audya is amazing & he definitely gets the BEST out of it! The possibilities with it is endless and only limited to one's imagination...

How I'd like to have Robert as my "Personal trainer"...

Keep well my friend,

Henni
