Maybe I am missing the importance, but I see the SD9Pro has new features and updates. On the other hand, Audya still has superior features also. Anyone with neither has another choice, and anyone with an Audya has to decide what is important to them.
Personally, I have an AJAMsonic Audya76, and, as long as it is performing well, will probably keep what I have, as I would lose my shirt for questionable advantages and known disadvantages.

Ah....
Where do I start? We just got back from Germany and are playing catch up, so if I am slow to get back you, please understand why.
To answer your question simply Henni, the answer is "No". The SD9 PRO offers features not found in AUDYA but which customers have asked for.
The AUDYA also offers features not found on the SD9 PRO with more to come in OS updates.
Although they share a lot in common (like Live Audio Drums, Live Audio Guitars ... etc), each customer will have to decide which of these units best fits their needs.
Having said that, I must say we had a lot of excitement at or booth this year where both products were present. Meeting distrbutors, dealers and users from all over the world was a plus and we want to say "THANK YOU" to all those who stopped by and for your contineous support for KETRON products.
Thanks,

...And soundwise, according to people that heard it on the messe, the sd9pro is way ahead of the audya... You should really get one then! As for me, I'll wait for the new Audya which WILL see the light, maybe even this year. The new casing is there, the new touchscreen ready, the SD9PRO features ready - not really all that much involved in creating it. And yes, it will have more than two outputs, it will have an onboard SSD etc. etc. Now tell me again, how long did it take from the SD7 to the new SD9PRO...

I will not get one.... unless i get proof that service and reliability in europe have improved by about 6000 miles... I do like the ideas of Ketron, however i have been dissapointed one time to much by their support overhere in europe... Ketron showed of to be so typicall Italian, great ideas, great looks... but they should have left the building and support of their instruments to the Germans (or AJ) And why they are not building a new Audya yet... because they are still selling the old one, and probably are stocked quite well on them... promoting the new SD9 as the Audya replacement would make them loose money on their current batch of Audya's... Believe me, the SD9 is the only thing close to audya they will produce in the next few years... the instrument is allready so high end that it does not leave room for another instrument on top of that... just wayt till you see the price of the SD9

Thanks, people need to choose between 8 year old technollogy and new technollogy much more powerfull and according to AJ and others even better sounding... Both should be in the same price range.. So who is going to buy the older unit? (espescially since they havent bought that unit in the past 7 years) I really hope you dont have many Audya76 on stock... only the audya4 and 5 will still be interesting for people... Maybe its me, but i cant think of a single reson why to buy a 76 key audio now, if i havent bought it in the past 7 years...

Availabillity of sd9pro in europe is around planned in Oktober, so thats still 6 months away... translated in Ketron terminology this means that it probably will be around BUG FREE in about two years time  As a musician be it a home user or a performer I see little point in getting my knickers in a twist about the prospect. I guess the SD40 option is a better one as apparently most bugs have now been ironed out of the SD7. I am sure that eventually the streetprice of the SD40 module will be around 2000 euros in the shops here. Still a lot of dough though... Many people here on the forum write about Ketron but how many actually own one and have done so for a considerable period of time ? I know Deane has and enjoys the SD7 while Bernie and Hennie commend the Audya . That's it ??? I am only saying that while the threads seem to imply loads of people are playin a Ketron and cannot wait to have the latest model the truth of the matter is that in the USA but also here in Holland and other European countries ( Italy excepted of course) the use of KEtron arrangers is not half as widespread as one is led to believe reading SZ forum content. With the many options/models available by Yamaha and Korg this is not surprising in itself. Quality control with yamaha is rigid and (to the best of my knowledge) they have a good customer support. Korg used to be the same though with the arrival of the PA4X , its history of bugs and poor customer communcation I dread to say the same still applies. Ketron to me has always been top of the list as regards poor customer service, sorry AJ. regards, John You can hardly find any Ketrons in Holland... Only 2 dealers... And so far many people on here have had one or more bad experiences with Ketron..... ketron actually is a very small company and they just dont have the resources to test all their new gear to oblivion and back like yamaha does before release.. this makes buying a brand new Ketron instrument risky buiseness, better to wayt atleast a year like you said.. From the same order as the bugs in new software is the level of their customer service in europe, i have had some pretty bad experiences with them.. So you dont want to buy a used Ketron or one trough an online shop either, as you want to buy it with a dealer that has a good relationship with Ketron.. However, their soundquallity, and their functionallity in their high end units make them probably the most advanced arranger workstations out there, when it comes to arranging/accompaniment functions. Each time they release a new high end product they create some GAS with me, even tough my mind tells me to staty away from it, but then making music is all about emotions isnt it? SD9PRO around oktober this year?Ketron,come on.
Which is probably a whole year to early... since its been confirmed that its whole new technollogy inside... the instrument currently is far from finished, guess thats the reason why we dont see any fancy video's of the instrument online yet...

Remember Franz Lambert uses an SD3, which is a good sign regarding reliability.
I think the small modules SD2, SD4, SD1000 and KlaviPro are relatively widespread, the expensive arrangers less so. The SD2 and SD1000 are a different story, they are based on the ketron propetriery soundengine... Which is relatively unchanged in those modules.. The sd1000 is an SD2 with just more and longer samples(and some drumloops) And the SD4 is an SD2 with buttons. The Klavipro had one bizarre problem, one of the two main piano samples was strikingly out of tune. The better one, actually a really advanced concert piano sample, unfortunately had a lot of built-in ambiance that it sounded acute, and I had to switch a multi-band equalizer to remove the odd frequencies.
