Hi Diki,
I'm wondering if they're going to do something along the lines of what they did with the drums on the sd1 . A mix of midi & audio.
The "Live Drums" sound to me ( & I'm probably wrong) like a split audio loop.
A similar effect to what I get on the PA800 when I split a drum audio loop & turn it into a groove. Instead of the loop playing back as recorded, I can alter the notes of the midi track that is generated, and change the rhythm of the loop.

The Live Drum's use midi notes, & are supplemented by a normal midi drum track to add additional drum sounds.

Wondering if maybe they're doing something similar with some of the other instruments ie a mix of split audio loop & midi.


Personally I luv the Ketron sounds, & I'm looking forward to seeing what they've done with the Audya, but for me the style editing/creation functions are lacking on my the SD1+ & unless they've included some additional functions like event list editing of a style, I don't think I'd be tempted into upgrading, even if it sounds brilliant.

200 onboard styles, if that's really all there are sort of doesn't sound quite enough..


best wishes
Rikki
