The AUDYA is on the market in almost all the south-european countrys from 15 January.
In Portugal we receive until now almost 20 Keyboards and are all sell.
The AUDYA is not 50% or 60% finished. It is almost 100% complete , and i said ALMOST , because they dont delivery yet the final Instrution Manual , and the Software to produce the Audio Styles. Also , in my opinion , I think they can put a "Pattern Edit" funtion directly in the Keyboard. In Portugal not everyone had a computer , and with that small function they can edit and correct the midi parts of the style.
The Audya is Open Architectury and they can develop new functions , new sounds or what they want. I Hope they continue developing new ideas for this plattform , lots of new thing can be integrated in the audya.
I explore the OS and i see that everything can be edited , we can "personalize" the Keyboarb for the kneeds of the musician. All the soundbank are RW , all the audio parts can be edited , all the audio guitars can be edited.... We had no limits to work here.....
As the first User said , the arranger part of the audio Styles are fantastic. The right hand sounds are very very good , and yes , no comparation with the Japonese models , this is the best arranger keyboard of the moment.
Go test yourself and see.
And is EASY , EASY to work....
As you see in the few videos i produce and share with all in my blog , the Musicians came to see the keyboard and i film , no preparation..... As you see , they dont ad no problem to start playing in the Audya , its so easy , that apears they already know were are everything...
