I owned an Audya4 module for almost a year... from which it was over 9 months in the Ketron repair center (3 times).
Hi Bachus Wow, that's not good. That's something that worried me slightly when I had my sd1 ie if something went wrong, wasn't sure where one would get it fixed. My sd2 broke down after an update, just out of warranty, I had to throw it out.

Must have been my bad luck, a monday morning produced unit. I have not found many hardware stories about ketron hardware.... Most stories about unrelaibility are software related... Certainly it seems ketron takes their time woth upgrades.
And when the unit got finally fixed i sold it, however the new owner never had any complaints...

Donny, in my opinion, the PA4X does not come close to competing with the Ketron SD7. Sorry if that offends anyone here but that is how I see, hear, it. Keep in mind I don't care about all the fancy features - I am an arranger player - not a composer - I don't use samples, I never use midi files, and the only time I DJ is if my setup fails to work at the gig. I much prefer the rhythm sections of the SD7 styles to the PA4X - seem much more real to me. Anyway, that is just my opinion.

Dean thanx for the reply....I understand what your saying...... why even waste time if your happy with the SD7 and it does all you need just stick with it and make people happy and yourself correct? Happy 4th of July!

HI Donny, You are right but so far I have had NO serious offers from any buyer so I decided I might as well give it a try. I doubt I will use it very much. I have to add here though that I don't think it is a bad keyboard. It just doesn't fit what I need for my gig requirements. By the way, I converted a few midi files to styles and that is a really neat feature I wish other keyboards had.
