GJ,

I am a little confused at the whole thing with Ketron, I have an Audya and unless my ears deceive me with age I cannot make this massive difference that the Audya is supposed to have over the Tyros 3, there are thousands of T3 in use and if you look at the number of You tube on T3 and the very few Audya - the sales tell the story. There are probably no more than 30 You Tube sounds bits to look at World Wide for the Audya, and they are not increasing, T3 more every day.
I know that the T3 doesn’t look the professional bit of kit, it’s plastic, but all the You Tube snippets I have heard it sounds pretty good, I play the Auyda and I am not convinced it that much better if at all.
There are a few people who have been faithfully to Ketron over the years, I had an SD1 + and when I look at it now I shudder , finding the files in the DOS window how the hell did we put up with it, other manufactures have touch screens, I know the T3 doesn’t.
I don’t know what the pull is with KETRON but it isn’t at all the sound quality, it’s something else, it’s not the styles, simplify because the best styles on the Audya are those that Ketron decided to make available recently off their early KBs, someone tell me what is going on and don’t tell me it’s sample quality, I would think that Yamaha have better facilities for capturing and manipulating samples than KETRON and more money to get the best sounds.
If you are adamant about the samples quality how do KETRON do it over the giant?
I am not bitching I would just like to know, I know Jose started this very interesting thread, he loves the LATIN sounds from Ketron, the reason the Ketron sound so LATIN it is LATIN.

I have given my Audya back to my supplier to let him see the menu problems first hand and I am borrowing a T3 for a short while.

Regards

Tony
