It reminds me of the SD1 I first encountered about 10-15 years ago (when they still had TOTL arrangers on demo in the stores). I had never heard of Ketron at the time. I remembered playing it for 2 hours and they still had to tear me away from it. I loved that keyboard.
If this is even remotely like that SD1, I'll consider it. The Audya is way too physically big for me!

Audya 4 with a small midi keyboard is a good option...

In all probability it is the Midjay Pro with keys and sliders. Not a bad package the thing with Ketron always is: How long will it last before being available ? HOw many bugs will have to be remedied over which period of time ? and last but not least how expensive will it be ?
Overall all of the ketron products have been relatively expensive , certainly in comparision to the midrange Yamahas and even more so to the midrange Korgs. In other words the product will have to be really advanced and well priced to become attractive to prospective buyers.
No sense wildly speculating the unknown as of yet...certainly a good marketing strategy to release when there is hardly anything of mention NEW on the market,.....I have an open mind at this point.btw I love the speakers, .... Also the style modeling is very interesting as is the triple USB front ports. I'm sure AJ will reveal the new SD7 in all its glory very soon for all to witness.
