Ketron, in my opinion, has never had a first class sequencer for recording songs in any keyboard I've sold since the MS50 years. I've never understood this. I've asked the folks from Ketron Italy and AJ to design a good working one but I've never seen it. Maybe they think everyone should use a computer to record keyboard tracks.
The Audya has a simple hit record and play whatever you can on the keyboard and it will record it. Styles, sounds, variations and anything else you press will record and when it's over, play it back. This is the same as the XD9 series. The SD1 has a 16 track sequencer mode but honestly, I could never figure out how to use it. I've been used to recording on Yamaha, Korg and Roland sequencers which are all easier to use in my opinion.
As to the sounds and styles of the Audya, I for one think they are great and I've had a chance to play one now for a few weeks. It's my favorite right now for the sounds and styles.
