Ketron learned it's lesson. There was no rumors about the SD9PRO beforehand. I am convinced we will see a new Audya soon & it will once again be the flagship of all arrangers with even more ground breaking technology.

I cannot believe the rumors that the SD9PRO sounds so much better than the current Audya. So, I'll wait patiently until it is released which won't be all that long.

And no, I do not sit on the fence speaking for Ketron as if I know it all. I AM an actual Audya user & I am a happy customer & I've created my share of things for this stunning arranger.

To me it looks like the SD9 Pro is, or will be Ketron's new "flagship".
I don't think there will be a new Audya, but some sofwareupdates as AJ say will come.
Guess there is a limit in the hardware how much updates it's possible without replace or add something.
By the time Ketron show up a new "top of the line" arranger kb I think it's going to be a SD9 succesor, maybe in both 61 and 76 key version.
Also popularity / quantity of sales will be very importand for the future steps. At the end, it's all about business. smile

The Auyda was a failure in the Middle East.
Ketron need to Sell a lot SD9 keyboards to invest in the new Audya
it is strategy for them to earn money the sd9 will replace the legendary SD one that was a great success for them in the whole world at the end of the day the SD9 looks amazing more from the Audya for sure
the only way for them to sell the remaining Audya that in storage
is to update the os and give options that are missing and fix the glitches as For the old hardware there is nothing to do
I'm waiting for software update maybe I won't have to replace the Audya with the new SD9 the more I think about it I understand that
the next Audya will come but after meny years... Because they dont have too much to do or to add only cosmetic and memory and hard disk this is not enough for createing something like the new Audya

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,

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...

That's a reasonable good point, unless you got as good bargain that you simply cannot let it go.
But, Audya is still a top keyboard that will serve many users for years to come. smile

Got some more information from people that visited the Messe and talked to someone there that must have been AJ....

While the SD9pro usese the same interface as the sd7, internally they are two very very different instruments, the SD9pro has an even more advanced soundengine then both the sd7 as well as the audya... Same goes for the style engine... Both are next generation..

The SD9pro has the high end keybed of the audya and not the keys of the SD7 pro..

Launchpad works like a style with 6 scenes that loop... It gowever has 12 tracks... And a track can be audio, midi or even an MP3.. The launchpad follows chordprogression just like a normal style...

Does it have 88 keys? Is it my all in one solution?

But just like the Casio MZ-x. Ketron is still moving towards the future of arrangers, trying to addapt the current framework of an arranger to the needs of the musicians of today...
