Why would I now look for an opportunity to give up my Audya for a Tyros 5, especially me, Henni? Many are shocked by it.
Here's what it is,
I've finally figured it out after spending some more time on the Audya. The Audya is for real musicians who can play for real with their right hand. All the voices are there, but you the player must use them. In return you get the most realistic backing ever.
The Yamaha is good for me because I'm more of a programmer than a real time musician. I can push buttons, play chords, use intros & endings for better effects. I can utilise all the "Wow" of an arranger, but I cannot play in real time. Hence the Yamaha is better suited for me. By merely pushing the right buttons, I can create spectacular stuff, but really it is the arranger doing it and not me.
I say again, the Audya does EVERYTHING exceptionally well that Fran describes. He would fall in love with it quickly. DonM plays guitar & other instruments on an keybed like the real thing. So he'll get the best out of the stunning voices of the Audya & the styles won't over power his playing.
So, the Audya is good for real musicians, the Yamaha also. But it has enough wow things which can be had by the simple push of a button so that someone like me can also create some stunning stuff with it.
You start off with most Yamaha intros & viola, the WOW! is there before you've even started the song. Good for me, but bad for a real musician who wants to play the intro himself as it sounds in the original song.
We do Gospel, so any intro goes as we do not imitate any specific music. I press intro in the middle of a song and WOW! again. a True musician would NEVER do that. Ketron specifically created intros in such a way that is does not effect the song to be played. Good for a real musician, but bad for me...
So, an Audya in the hands of a true musician sounds truly amazing, even spectacular. But the Yamaha in my hands, also sounds spectacular, but it's mostly the arranger doing the "wow" & not me. Hence I like busy styles as I cannot contribute anything else to it apart from the right chords.

Thanks for an honest answer my friend. I am sure many of us now understand better.

Here's a tip,
I get a lot of questions from the Yamaha users lately with regards to AJ's Latin styles, just by them listening to his demos on his web. I'm not at all into Latin styles, so I never bothered to audition those properly.
Well, I went through all those styles tonight & I have to say: Wow!!! Awesome stuff. His bass sections on all those styles are superb to say the least. So I checked & saw his bass volume is nice & high and reverb set to 20 for most style bass parts.
I then went through all the other onboard Latin styles, cranked the bass up, set reverb to 20 & saved those as new styles (Rember, you CANNOT save any styles modified by AJ to the original name without loosing the usefulness of the style totally...Be very, very cautious of this) Viola, those Latin styles really came alive!
So now I'll go through every style on my Audya & do the same for the bass parts. This will keep me rather busy for awhile.
Anyway, thought I'd share this tip/suggestion with you all.
Cheers,
Henni Henni ... there you go ... giving away my secrets :-)
The editor on the AUDYA is superb - just needs everyone to tweak so it is comfortable for them.
Latin/Caribbean music has a unique hunger for bass and drums ... don't try those settings with a Jazz/Waltz style :-(
