I just spent $650.00 to upgrade my Audya to the very latest styles, sounds and tweeks made by AJ. He sent me a HD with everything and I installed it a couple of days ago. All I can say is "WOW"!
I spent the last two days going through the voices, drums, styles and made several automatic playlists and made a few custom patches. Everything sounds amazing and improved over what I was used to. I was contemplating buying another board but now I'm thrilled with the sound quality and ease of accessing the inner workings of this instrument.
I took AJ's advice to program some custom voices so I went into edit mode and created a George Shearing melody patch using Vibes, jazz guitar and a dark concert grand patch. I set the volume, panning, verb and delay to create the perfect balance and image in the stereo field. It's an amazing sound and I'll use it a lot.
The playlist feature I've ignored up till now but it has the ability to instantly call up any MP3, wave or MIDI file from the drive. You can setup a list of 40 songs that will play automatically. I'll use it for break music as well as custom lists for singers I work with.
I'd advise anyone to make the leap and purchase the upgrade and if you don't own an Audya get one and work with AJ the U.S. Ketron guru that will guide you and provide professional curtious service throughout your ownership of the best workstation on the planet.
