Interesting... It seems that questions involving sample load time (external samples loaded into the Audya by way of USB) are either being purposefully ignored by AJ, or Ketron U.S. hasn't given him the okay to discuss this topic possibly. One obvious reason for the apparent "silence" would be the Audya only has USB 1.1 and therefore it would be really poky at loading any kind of external audio samples such as .wav files. >> Think Tyros2... OTOH, if the Audya DOES have USB 2.0 you would think Ketron U.S. and/or AJ would be gushing over with enthusiasm telling us of that very fact. Since no one is gushing over and spilling the beans about this VERY pertinent question and topic, it looks like Ketron has quite possibly relegated the Audya to the stone age when it comes to its USB interface apparently. I say "apparently" because the USB 1.1 vs. USB 2.0 for the Audya has YET to be cleared up by either AJ, Ketron U.S., or the company headquarters itself in Ancona, Italy.

Best, Mike

PS:I am very concerned that the Audya will only have USB 1.1 and NOT the 2.0. that everyone is hoping the Audya will have. >> One word from AJ or other personnel at Ketron U.S. could dispel these rumors and concerns in a heartbeat.
