I don't know is this official asking for AJ (why didn't he ask for suggestions ) but I will tell my opinion again on this forum. I am using Audya for about 4 months , and also I've been using Ketron/Solton keyboard since Solton TS4K or something (I can't remember it was about 1991) , then MS 50 , MS 100 , X1, SD1 , SD1+ and finally Audya . So I am familiar with Ketron and I would like to tell something about Audya . First of all I was surprised with new sound,I mean Live Drums,it is great, but when I start to use it I found that there is no more software inside like EDIT PATTERN and SEQUENCER for editing MIDI files . This is for me the biggest problem because I am using about 50 my own made patterns. Then I found the problem with Drum2 when change patterns and midi files from SD1 to Audya , now it's not compatible , so without software I can't fix it.So I am not interesting (as my opinion) about some new styles that will come with new update (2.0), a styles from east or south Africa or China or anywhere else, but give me the option that I can create Styles all by myself, the Styles that will be useful for music that I am playing.This is the point , and not to wait what will your programmers create.
I think in Audya is too much useless Live drums and grooves.I can read on this forum that many people is asking for more modern styles and I can agree with them but put in Audya more modern Live drums.I also found the problem with creating a sample sounds, Audya can't recognize them. I would like to use my Live drums but can anyone explain how to use it.
Also is it possible to mix between Styles and Midi files without pause in a live gigs.I think this is useful when playing Midi files and it is going to the end but I would like to go on so I would like to go to the Styles without making a pause.I am waiting for this option since I am using (sometimes) a Midi files.
And finally about some bugs : in Live drum HOUSE 132 there is some huge error , when I am playing in live gigs sometimes there is such mess and confusion with midi drum and Live drum (they both come to contra playing) I mean they are not synchronised, absolutely useless live drum and I'd like to use it mostly of all for dance music.
that's all for now
