Yes Guys and Leezone I have played the Audya 5 today for about 30 mins, you had better get a listen to it, it's great. What an improvement, this is how it should have been a year back. Never mind when we get the pens we will have the same sounds, the styles are mega improved. It was connected to a pair of £50.00 speakers and still sounded fantastic.

thanks for the quick update Tony

please do tell us more....

did you see the AUDYA 4 also?

i'm still between these 2, but leaning towards the module, i just wish the module had a bigger price difference than just $200

If the price difference is only $200 , why not just get the keys also. Trying to play a keyboard and reaching to control the module in a different location and level would seem odd to me IMO that is.

portability and flexibility is why i'm leaning toward module

i can take as carry on if i fly
i can take to practice easily and hook up to another keyboard, less baggage

i can use ANY keyboard 25 key-88 key, semi weighted or fully weighted, with module

keys wont wear or break on module as it has none

so i guess there are some pros too :-)

I was thinking about getting the module, but that thing looks HUGE, much bigger than the little Midjay. I did enjoy using the MJ with my choice of controllers, but the A4 may be to big and heavy to consider.

Ye. It does look huge and very fat in height

I'm so used to my XD3
I would even like to use the case from it
but seems this Audya 4 is way bigger.
And not too much smaller than audya5

decisions. Decisions

Yep, I see your point, especially the carry on and use of keyboard of choice. Perhaps I'll look at the pros and cons a little closer before I make my final dicision.
