Multiple XLR inputs? Are there separate harmony generators for each? No, there aren't. So where is the value to a duo...? Not to mention, the OMB seems to be the main reason d'etre of the arranger. Plenty with single XLR inputs (and line ins too). Seems hardly 'revolutionary' or new.

Multiple outputs? Not new, Got four on my G70, rarely use them. Got eight (ten, really, plus digitals) on my Kurzweil. Rarely use them... Definitely not new.

HD? Not new. As was pointed out, the nearly $2k less T3 has one (MAP seems to be just the jumping off point). My G70 has a 50MB solid state HD (FAR better than a conventional HD for seek times and loading)...

And, let us not forget, all these so called 'new' technologies exist (and have existed for ages) in WS's that cost a THIRD or the Audya's price.

76 keys... G70 PA2Xpro At LEAST $1500 less.

But where are the style creation, style editing, sequence editing tools, voice editing tools, sampler tools, yada yada yada..? Nothing new there, either, sadly. Ketron make some very good 'preset' arrangers, but if you want to edit your styles, create new ones, 'morph' styles together, tweak them to be how YOU want them, etc., and have a vast selection of third party and user edited styles, you may have to use one of those poor, 'cheap' arrangers!

Look, of course SOME people will order this sight unseen. They buy Hummers and Lamborghini's too, unseen. But back in the REAL world, of OMB's and working gigging musicians, the cost of something has to have SOME impact, shouldn't it? If not, contact me. I have some land for sale at vastly inflated prices too... what does it matter that it floods from time to time?


I wasn't saying that multiple outputs were new and I don't care if you have never used your outputs either.

I was simply trying to make a statement to say that the Ketron Audya, at least in materials , plus the thought that some musicians /people, other than yourself, may be able to utilize the outputs (me)and 2 XLR mic inputs (me), enjoy the 76 keys which in turn can justify a price point vs. the Tyros at $3999.00 and made of plastic.
