The very first Ketron UK Style Pack "By Request" is now live on our new StyleUpdate website:

http://www.ketronmusic.co.uk/styleupdate/

Special Thanks to Robert Messier for his tremendous artistic and creative genius, Ketron Italy for being so helpful by providing software, support and hardware and most of all to you guys..for suggesting the styles and being so patient over the last few months.

The site is not quite finished, it is not great in 1024x768, The Suggest a Style, Support and Links sections still need finishing, but everything else is there.

TWD,

suggestion for website

the options at top to navigate, such as Home, The Styles, Ordering, Suggets a Style, Support, Links, Contact

are too pinned up to top of page and is hard to see

i'd suggest moving it down just a bit on the page, and maybe a little more in your face, bigger,
maybe a little white space at the top

Thank you. Your comments are much appreciated. We will do a post run tomorrow, not sure if they will get to you before everything slows down but we will use the fastest method possible.

Leezone - I didn't actually do anything to the site yet wink Maybe it did not load correctly at first.

If you get a warning, its the bottom bar - some browsers don't like the script to make it fit. But its purely aesthetic.

Hello Tonewheeldude,

What is "Collection Only (No delivery charge)".

Does that means "as Download-version" ?

Regards,

Carlo

Hello,I also just order the Ketron UK style pack.
I think Robert Messier is a great professional making styles and in AUDYA this styles sound like no other keyboard.

Thanks Robert and thanks Darren.

Your order is more than enough thanks - let us know how you like the updates when they arrive. It was a rush but we managed to get 100% of orders out today. If your in the UK you will get the update tomorrow, for everywhere else you should have received your tracking numbers by email. You can track them at www.royalmail.com

Carlo, Sorry there is no download version, this option just excludes the postage cost in case someone wishes to order two updates but does not want to pay double postage. We had to refund a few people as they selected UK postage even though they are international, so please do make sure you pick the right one.

Tonewhelldude: I understand all about pendrive, copy protection in 5.0a and ok of price fore your new pen.
What Roberd has done is very very good.
What I want to ask you (because some italian people ask me too) is the possbility to pay only for which styles I want. as I see for italy I pay little more than 55 euro (is good price like italian pen) but for 5 styles (ok I known are fantastic). I think for you is more money to sell online too. single styles. what really need in this pen is only 2 styles and then I pay 25 € for each. As you told the single price for each styles is not hight, true but I must pay for major that I never will use. I understand the problem of copy protection, You must prepare pen with install files ecc but think that if you sell 1 single styles online the price is so low that nobody try to copy it and we are so happy to pay only for what we need. It's good to sell pendrive because not all people have fast internet, not all people are so pratic for download and install. the solution of pendrive is more easy, but has a cost not necessary. If you use paypal I can pay immediately and get the link for download it. (maybe you can make a downlaod link that ask for serial number and work only for one people for example). but we are near 2013 and internet is fast and tecnology too. if was possible I payed to ajamsonic for download the hard disk too and not wait 1 mont, pay post, pay taxt ecc. Here in italy is so difficult with money.

There are many site sell styles, midifile online ... look itunes ecc.. please make possibile for us to do the same. I know in italian forum some people that not so good with english but listen the demo of robert and like it. problem is that not want to pay for all. For example was 160 style like ajamsonic, I pay for all but use only 60 or little less ok. but here pay 55€ for only 2 styles it's so much.
I think not so difficult to make file for downlaod (the audio drum protected and the file of style) that we put manually into hard disk
I think if you make this possibility online single styles sell trought paypal you have more more selling in very very fast time immediately, and get more money
hope understand, sorry for my english not so good

thanks (from some peoaple italy too)

Dekivery costs are a nuisance, they are being sent insured using "International Signed For" or "Airsure". Oddly enough, Airsure does not require a signature but is more money, either way they are tracked from the moment they are dropped off at the Post Office.

Regarding download of individual styles - if the first pack does well enough to warrant a second, then maybe we will look at download option then, but at the moment it just is not possible - sorry.

and thank you Snoopy smile

i will be paying about $82 for this

i would have rather paid $82 and downloaded it immediately
i know it's because of copy protection, etc, but there's gotta be a way

and it would be a win-win for UK as they would not spend $$ shipping, more in their pockets

and we would get the styles instantly instead of waiting a week or so

well i think they are planning it, and really HOPE they do

buy of course if we don't support and buy the 1st pack
why would they bother producing a second one?

so get out those credit cards, and make your Audya sound even better than ever

TWD

i reached out to Fernando from fcmusica.com in Portugal a few days ago

i told him about the wonderful UK style pack, and gave him the link

i did not hear back, so you or Ketron may want to reach out to him

as you may or may not know Ketron is BIG in Portugal, and i know there are quite a bit of Audya users there...

let's spread the word about this...

received and replied. Not sure if I should say on here how many have sold though. There is an amount we need to sell to recover costs, when we reach it I will let you know. At that point we have the go ahead for #2.

My boss (who had reservations about the project and the final say on when we start the next pack) said to me as I left the office yesterday "I thought it was going to take months to sell these USB sticks, but we are going to run out of stock aren't we?". They were his exact words smile He is happy with the result.

Well I think everyone should buy
Even if for just 1 style they might need out of the 5

This helps I support Robert - TWD and this project

And helps make sure we see volume 2

TWD. When do we begin to suggest styles for vol 2?
