I've always been a big fan of the Ketron styles, midi file playback sound and the bass and drum sound. I always use the MiDJay for midi file playback.
So now the Audya is a midjay plus, a SD1+, all with new sounds, styles, vocal processor, USB, accessable hard drive, sliders, live player audio loops.
the SD1+ was sold for about $3000, the Midjay plus for $1800, that comes out to be $4800.
So the convience factor of being in 1 machine and the updated operating system, I can see the value and I am already a fan based on the past Ketron products.
As most of you know I have had my personal Audya on order for almost 2 years, so I am truely a believer before even getting a chance to put it through it paces.
I will put it up against the PA2xpro, adn Tyros 3 next week, so if there are any comparison audio or video let me know, I'm sure they will be very interesting
