Enjoy your Audya! When you get one, that is.

Here's the translated English text version of what the Audya OS 1.1a update fixes:

AUDYA Release 1.1a

* Improved synchronization between Audio Drum and Midi on Styles.
* Optimized access and timing on Fill In and Break.
* Added on display the information for the style status : Arranger, Fill, Break, Ending etc etc..
* Reduced latency amount on Start and Key Start feature on Audio Drum .
* Numerical access implemented on Player section. Numeric recall allowed by using key button 0/9 on Style keypad.
* Changed default status for Preset Mix function to OFF. The four slider volume controls for the Arranger modify now any previous mix set internally and stored into each Style.
* Fixed level on Audio Drum when selecting a new Audio Drum or when switching to Drum Set. The volume is no more reset to max.
* Update on Chord Modes ( Easy1, Easy2, Fingered1 e Fingered2 ).
* Improved the dynamic response on Manual Bass.
* Fixed audio Distortion on Mp3 during Play function with Auto Loop feature.
* Fixed Lyrics display errors on Mp3 and Midi file when playing with Crossfade.
* Transposer parameter available on Saving procedure directly from Player main view ( previously allocated on GM menu view ) .
* Added new Home function on Player Menu ( key button 3/8 ). Allows to Exit during Player activities ( Midi Mp3 Wave ) just with a single action.
* Added new Fade In function when Fade Out tab is selected and Start activated.
The Fade Out time can be programmed into the menu Keyboard Control -> Utility -> Next page.
* Improved Chord detection with Bassist mode.
* Added Player Autoload TXT On/Off function ( Menu / Keyboard / Control / Utility / Next page ).
All : loads automatically text files and Wav if presents ( Midi file only ).
Txt : loads automatically only text files if presents ( Default ).
No : no automatic loading.
With Txt mode the searching operation for a text file associated to Midi file ( having the same name ) is much faster. The set up can be saved into Startup.ini.
Suggestion :
In order to obtain a very fast search for files is recommended to create folders having a limited number of files ( max. 300 / 400).
The My Folder feature ensures also a much easier access to the personal folders ( selection with Style keypad 0-9 ).
* Changed default for Keyboard Velocity Curve from Normal to Soft 1.
* Fixed noise on Live Guitars when selecting the 4 Arranger on a few Styles.
* Removed Lower chords when Intro and Ending are active.
* Improved Tap Tempo function.

The condition can be saved on Custom Startup.
The page change is obtained with Alpha dial or cursors << >> .
