One reason I can think of why Diki may NOT choose to indeed purchase the Audya is because Ketron is willingly leaving him (as well as me and the world for that matter) - in the dark regarding certain omissions of information that pertain to the Audya. Apparently Ketron is looking for people that don't ask the "hard" OR obvious questions about their products eh? >> Don't ask questions, just walk in lockstep over the precipice we are leading you over okay? We want your money NOT you to truly understand the product we are trying to peddle to you. >> Go away son you're bothering me. So says Ketron by their actions - or lack thereof, in my opinion.
Definition of a Pundit: 1. A source of opinion; a critic. 2. A learned person.
Objective opinions or legitimate criticism should be encouraged instead of squelched in my opinion. When a company is in error (by popular concensus by the way) then that company should be called on the carpet for it in my humble opinion. When information is brought to "light" it dispels the darkness that once was in its place. Would you rather be kept in the dark? That's fine, but don't blame the ones that are asking for transparency and for "light" in the hopes of dispelling that darkness. Especially when the product in question costs upwards of five grand.
If you're going to choose sides wouldn't you like to be on the side of = openness, integrity, transparency, and being forthright with the public vs. the opposite of that corporate ideal? I'm just saying...
All the best, Mike

If some of us understand the answer to the question and others do not, then should Ketron keep answering the question over and over and over and over and over again to those who do not seem to or want to understand? As I stated in my other post, Ketron must start to take control of the talk about the audya and not let persons who do not understand the concept of Audya and probably would not get one to control the talking points for Audya.
If some persons are saying that the only difference between Audya and the keyboards they own is the audio tracks a style could play, then that says the full consept of the Audya is not understood. I did not take the Audya's ability to include audio tracks in a style to drastically change a style. I took it to mean that it would enhance the style but the midi part would still be playing a major part. So the midi part would be playing the extensions. I am more interested in the style as a whole and not just on one track. If the style sounds good even when I play the extensions, then as long as my customers are happy, then I am happy.
