Sure, it sounds great. So do most TOTL arrangers. Truth is, go home and whack up your drum track to the level that Ketron have theirs, EQ a little 'meat' into the sound, and if the style is well programmed, you can have JUST as much fun with something $1500-2000 less.

Without glitchy timing at Intro/Var boundaries or Fill boundaries, without apparent dropouts on the guitar part depending on the chord you play, and with, IMO, some noticeably better RH voices, depending on if you have a T3 or maybe a PA2.

Nobody is calling the Audya a BAD arranger (at least not me). We merely question whether it is $1500-2000 BETTER than a T3 or PA2. I am not convinced about that point, yet. Put those drums on a T3, yes, maybe it IS worth the extra. But on an arranger that, other than that one feature, doesn't seem to stand head and shoulders ABOVE the rest (and considerably lower at some features) and that price premium seems hard to justify.

Simply put, if the Audya was priced the same as a T3/PA2, we wouldn't be having this argument...

It's all about the benjamins
