On Midi Remix feature is also possible add Live Guitar ( coming from selected style ) beside
drum part.
Live Guitar could be played manually or automatically by Live Guitar REMIX which will extract
harmony tune directly from midi file .
Live Guitar Remix can be activate on Manual or Autoplay way directly form MENU-
>KEYBOARD CONTROL> UTILITY ( Page #1) -> Remix Live Guitar.
By Manual mode User can insert LIVE GUITAR on Midi Remix simply playing on Left part of
Audya keyboard while midi file run . By Autoplay feature ( as well term say ) Live Guitar will be
detected automatically from midi file while playing .
How to follow chord's track to live guitar remix:

If Chord ( Txt format ) track is built on Midi file thus will play automatically by simply
press Menu-> KEYBOARD CONTROL->UTILITY(Page #1)->Remix Live Guitar = Autoplay.

Since OS 4.0 version STYLE and MIDI button ( on User Style/Disk Area

on REMIX while REMIX is running. Moreover REMIX function can be
linked with a midi file while is playing. Firstly select your own midi file than
activate REMIX function and add your favourite style. User could change
your styles while REMIX play easily. Thus will be useful to catch the suitable
style for your own midi file without stop playing ( For further info please
refer on Tips & Trick issue).

RECORD button led active .By the way with this procedure will be possible record Chord change

We add a couple options in order to Save MIDI REMIX:
F1–Start Bar
F2–Stop Bar
F6- Save As: Mid-Kmx
F7- RmxGtr
Start Bar and Stop Bar (Picture #6): These bar show respectively Beat Start (from ) and Beat
Stop ( to ) of Midi Remix plus Style which will play . Please notice: Outside these marker ( Start
and Stop bar ) Midi File will play with original Drum part .
Save As: Allows to Save your work in a two different format file .The first one will be a
traditional midi file which include Exclusive message to play it as Remix . The second one will
be renamed as KMX file. This file format is a Ketron proprietary format which include all
information to play a Remix plus Style, Transposer , tempo and so on .This file is really useful to
export all information over another Audya keyboard and guarantee to play it properly. Of course
all resources ( Audiodrum, Live guitar,) must be installed on thus other Audya.

Wow! Now there is an answer. I can't say as I understand it all yet, but I sure thank you for your trouble
Bernie

Bernie, If you do get your head around it would you please let me know--its beaten me i'm afraid but thanks to necderdoni for taking the time to post
I cannot believe in this day and age that ketron still cannot put a decent manual together for their products. Mine arrived in german so useless to me.
Also they need to bring out a totally seperate manual for the Arranger Audya 4 they are selling, so that users can get an inkling of what is going on in their heads in Italy.
They expect the A4 users-and there are many of them out there-to read between the lines of the keyboard manual and they couldn't care less that people are paying ridiculous money for something that does not work properly as far as i am concerned --and i am not alone!
Rusty

I can feel the frustration you and others are having, especially the Audya 4 users.

Even with the Audya 76 I find the manual is very detailed in what they cover, but there are things not covered.

Maybe I am being optomistic, but am thinking Ketron was so intent on getting their product out and workable, and they put out a basic manual. I don't think that they don't care as much as priorities, and those of us with problems have different ones than they.
