I've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the "Audya" but am growing weary of the delays. I'm afraid the price of the keyboard is going to be too much for me.

I'm into recording with DigiDesign's Pro Tools. There is currently a plug in from Celemony http://www.celemony.com/cms/index.php?id=products_plugin
That you should check out. It's a technology that allows you to adjust the pitch and timing of audio tracks. In it's current version it can handle single monophonic recorded melody lines. If you go to the Celemony website, you can view a demo of the application. Celemony announced an upcoming upgrade of the application that would allow adjustment of pitch and time polyphonically. In other words, you can adjust/alter pitches of notes individually within, for example, a guitar chord. This upgrade was to be released this October 2008. October came and went and now the projected release date is for March or April of 2009. I suspect that Keytron is using this technology to make the Audya work as planned. A delay at Celemony means a delay in the release of the Audya. What do you think? Does this sound reasonable?

This is simply food for discussion.
