There were a lot of organ companies that thought 'If they'll pay $4000 for an organ, they'll pay $6000'. They are now out of business.

It is just Ketron's poor luck (or judgment ) to decide to go VERY upscale, just as the recession hit. Perhaps with the freewheeling economy we used to have, and credit being extended for any frivolous purchases, they might have done better. We'll probably never know. And, in all fairness, if the Audya did everything they claimed it was going to do when announced, and they bothered to finish it before shipping, and they included TOTL editing capabilities, not just TOTL styles, and had a full manual, yada yada yada, I think even I would pony up the $5000...

But it doesn't. It's a VERY expensive ROM style player. Period. Close... but that only works for horseshoes and hand grenades
