4.You touch a function button to select what you want ..
How many pages are under each sound & style button are a factor and this is where Yamaha products become a problem.
On the Yamaha arrangers, the Direct Access button really helps with navigation, and most people use registration buttons...much more efficient.
Touch screens have no tactile feedback whatsoever...not a good thing, in my opinion, and why I don't want an instrument that has one.
They are also very hard to use if a person is visually impaired.
Just like the old argument about the pitch bend lever/joystick versus the wheels, there will always be those who will argue that one is superior than the other.
It's nice to have a choice.
One thing that looks very awkward to use on the Audya are the style controls...the demonstrators all seem to have a bit of difficulty with them...why were they centrally located?
Hardware constraints must have dictated that location...otherwise they would have been situated on the left where the majority of players would find them easier to access.
The wheels seem a tad too high up on the panel as well.
