You miss their whole strategy...

Ketron released the SD7 which allowed them to perfect the system, and now they start building from there... Its just impossible for small companies like Ketron to release failfree products, they dont have the huge resources needed for inhouse testing...

Any one person who played the original SD7 for an hour would find countless bugs, failures, missing features, etc.
I should have immediately returned mine, but I was determined to help AJ make it work. I failed. I'm hoping he finally succeeded. If they tested it in-house before releasing it then they sure need a new tester.

Maybe you're right but stil it is better to wait the SD7 is very different... I dont want to be a beta tester...

I opened a thread about satisfaction with the SD7, why didn't you answer there? The only answer I got was from Deanne, who is extremely happy with his SD7.

AJ, is the SD9PRO the new Audya?

TRUE THAT DON! lots of money to be testing it pre finished...especially when it has to go on stage the minute it arrives no time for failure or workarounds
I did enjoy the sound, styles, and playing it
and not so easy to sell afterwards. I hope they get it right in the future models they release without the mystery.

I'm sorry if I don't get to every thread on here. I have a very busy schedule but try to help when I can.
I don't want to overdo my criticism of the SD7. As I said I'm sure they have it much more stable by now. My point is they are released too soon.

Rosetree,
I STILL stand by my post in the other thread. Frankly I don't understand all the trash talk about the SD7. Exactly what features do most gig performers really need? I have been using my SD7 for nearly a year now on gigs and have yet to have a problem at a gig with it. I use an arranger as an arranger - playing styles with a split keyboard and melody with right hand. I am not sure what else owners need from an arranger keyboard. Style conversions were as simple as can be and once you learn how to use the USB ports it is pretty easy to arrange gig play lists and play them from the thumb drives.

Now, I do have one thing I wish Ketron would fix. It should be easier to delete auditioned styles using the keyboard OS and not a computer connection. That said, I am pretty happy with my SD7.

AJ, is the SD9PRO the new Audya?

Even if the sd9pro is more capable then the audya, Ketron will never call it a replacement as the audya will still be on their sales lists till the last one in their inventory is sold...

Calling it a replacement would not be fair to Frank and severall other dealers that have audya in stock.

Its also obvious that audya has some features not on the sd9pro, and sd9pro has some features not on the audya..



Which still has ne wondering how honest AJs answer will be..
