Ergonomically speaking, the Ketron Audya reminds me of that expression, "A camel is a horse put together by a committee."

I suppose if the camel...eer...Audya sounds great, that these seemingly haphazardly placed controls and buttons will be worth getting used to.

Frank, I imagine the first styles you play should be the guitar, or unplugged styles...just to dispel any doubts about how the audio/midi guitar tracks work and sound on the more complex chords.

That is one of it's main features/selling points, and is obviously where the name "Audya" came from.
