Like a whole new keyboard huh?

I wonder what that will entail. If Korg can increase the polyphony by a software update that in itself would give the PA2XPRO a "whole new keyboard" concept. It is also possible that Korg will "add" additional preset combi's or improve some of the existing combi's perhaps. Likewise the Drums as well, along with additional Styles and them 'finally' fixing the Fill glitch that everybody complains about. That would sure be a blessing in disguise, no?

I will wait and see what OS 2.0 brings to the table for the PA2XPRO. If it is significant (like adding poly, etc.), I may take the bait and get myself one.

If the Ketron Audya is delayed until January before shipping and if Korg hits a home run with OS 2.0, it might be the final straw that breaks Ketrons back in my opinion, especially because of the huge price discrepancy between the two i.e. $1,400 = $3,699 vs. $5,100 (street price). The only real way, in my opinion, that Ketron could pull out of such a possible foreboding financial setback is if Ketron hits a GRAND SLAM!!! with the Audya. If it happens to indeed be the bees knees and worth every penny, then I could see a WHOLE LOTTA people forking over the dough for one - in the case of Al maybe two. BUT.., the probability of the Audya blowing everything else out of the water in today's totl market is rather low, sorry to say. We'll have to wait and see, but with all the seeming problems Ketron has been having with the Audya e.g. probable bugs, delays, etc., I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a white elephant - and a very expensive white elephant at that.

Best,
Mike
