I get it. AJ is not really a full fledged employee of Ketron. Apparently he is just a "distributor"?? No wonder he is not able to give me a straight answer (or any answer at all) as to whether or not the Audya has a USB 2.0 interface or not. He can read specs just like anybody else and since he is a distributor of Ketron products he gets info ahead of time much like George Kaye does regarding Yamaha product info. On the Ketron site as of just a week or two everybody now has access to the Audya specfications and if you notice the spec sheet only says that the Audya has "USB". It doesn't say USB 1.1 or USB 2.0, only that it has USB. AJ just knows what we now know i.e. that the Audya has "USB". Since he is not an official employee of Ketron he apparently is not privy to inside information that might not be listed on the info he received (and now that you and I have access to) i.e. the specifications on Ketron's own public web site concerning the Audya. George seems to have more sway with Yamaha and is able to get more detailed info on Yamaha's products whereas A.J. seems to be limited to just the info that is released to the public even though he may have gotten that info before you and I because he is a distributor.

So I guess I was asking the wrong person when I asked A.J. if the Audya has USB 2.0 or is it just USB 1.1. He only knows what everybody else now knows i.e. that the Audya has a "USB" interface as Ketron worded on their web site spec sheet of the Audya. Why couldn't Ketron be more specific and say USB 1.1 or USB 2.0? What is the purpose of saying just "USB"? Possibly just to frustrate your potential customers?

PS: It might take someone who speaks and writes Italian who could email Ketron and in their native tongue i.e. Italian , cozy up to them and ask if the Audya has USB 2.0 or 1.1. If someone speaks their native language they might be willing to divulge inside information to that person who could then report back to us the answer. >> If there is any true Ketron employee(s) perusing this site and can read and speak English I beg of you to reveal yourself and answer this very simple question I have been asking one of your distributors on a repeated basis over the course of several months now but have not received a response (and now I realize why I haven't ). The question is: does the Audya have a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 interface? Which is it?

Hello... Ketron? Anybody out there?

Best,
Mike
