Henni Senior Member Registered: 12/01/08 Posts: 3456 Loc: South Africa	Okay then. It would have been a real surprise getting a new SD9 PRO only to find out shortly that an actual new version of the Audya is now available. I'd rather wait patiently for the newer Audya as that is going to be SOMETHING in the light of all of this. I was really hoping for audio human/choir voices and the new Audya might just have that. _________________________ Make sure you'll fly forever!

Gunnar Jonny Senior Member Registered: 04/01/01 Posts: 4381 Loc: Norway	Originally Posted By: frankieve ......it's not an Audya replacement but the flagship in the SD line, since the SD1 was so succesful ..... ... I love the form factor, and I think it's going to be the perfect blend.... Probably a good description of it. Very nice design. I loved the SD1, unfornately I sold it to make room for Audya, but when Audya finally was to find in stores here, it was sooooo high priced that I could buy two other top end for that amount of $... The rest is history. Hopefully we'll see some demoes and a manual for download in not too long. _________________________ Cheers 🥂 GJ _______________________________________________ "Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many you brought with you."

hammer Senior Member Registered: 01/27/08 Posts: 2403 Loc: Texas	Likewise Henni, It is a bummer to have a less than 1 year old SD7 to see it replaced by the SD9 Pro. I guess time will tell. I would be ok with a SD7 replacement if they offered the SD7 owners a serious styles and sounds upgrade too. Frank, amy prices yet or delivery dates? Deane

PraiseTheLord Member Registered: 08/24/04 Posts: 782 Loc: N Fort Myers, FL, USA	It doesn't look like a replacement for the SD7, for a start it's 76 keys. I got all excited when AJ suggested the new offerings would have less weight, only to find it's only 2 lbs lighter than the Audya, and at 36 lbs the same weight as the Korg PaX4 76. _________________________ Graham, Korg Pa1000, Korg G1 Air, Countryman E6, Roland BA330, 2 x Roland CM-30, , Mackie SRM150

rosetree Unregistered	The light weight is certainly true for the SD40: 2 kg compared to 7 kg of the old SD3!

Sokratis 1974 Member Registered: 06/06/10 Posts: 793 Loc: Hellas, Creta, Iraklion	Your welcome!!.... Dear friend Bachus..... Missing compared to thew Audya: 1) Key Tune Function (not important for me), 2) 197 notes Polyphony in Audya and SD9Pro 128, 3) Too many buttons less than Audya, 4) Sliders less than Audya, 5) 368 Preset Voices (single voices) SD9PRO and 430 Preset Voice in Audya... 6) SSD Card 16Giga SD9PRO but expandable in 500giga HD, or SSD up to 240giga, and Audya 80 Giga HD.... 7) 300 Preset Styles in SD9PRO and 570 Preset Style in Audya, however we can to convert directly which style we want from Audya to SD9PRO... Its full compatibility with Audya.... In the first time, the Audya had 370 Preset styles, however with Upgrades get to 570 Preset Styles.... Thanks...

So it�s not an Audya replacement, but a model to bridge the gap between the SD7 & Audya. If it is an Audya replacement, then the reduction of voices, styles, polyphony and real time controls is unforgivable, and not worth changing the Audya for.
