One thing I notice about this discussion is that people are making the wrong assumptions that the Audya’s OS is not finished.
If it's finished at the stage we see even when OS3 released, I'll never buy any Audya!
If the OS are build with further developement in mind, it will not be finished, but it
would be released in a stable working mode, wich it's not the fact regarding Audya.
I don’t hear any one say that it does not function as an arranger.
In fact, you have people say that they use it on a gig.
It has bugs that must be addressed and fixed. They are constantly upgrading the OS.
Well, did you read all posts about it, and did you listen to some of the demoes where
something very strange happens in the midi/audio mix when play exctended chords and
swap between the style variations?
It sure have bugs as others also have, but some more than you might excpect when buy a
keyboard, specially within this upper pricerange.
Also, don't you think the OS upgrades jumping very fast in stages at 1, 2, 3 etc where
others are more minor bugfixing by OS 1.1, 1.2, and when really major things happens you
see 2.0?
And, the persons complaining about the Audya missing features are those who are accustom to Korg (which is not in the same level as an Audya, T3 or G70).
Korg arrangers are more for players who want to be creative. Ketron, Yamaha and Roland are more for those who want to turn on the keyboard an play without adjusting it to their liking, and with out any creative input from them.
Really?
Now if people are wondering why more Audya owners are not bad mouthing the Audya, it is that they don’t want the company to go under and then they are left with no company to upgrade the product or make any more arrangers.
Kind of like the negative effect Roland arranger.com had on Roland arrangers to where it looks like that may have pushed Roland out of the arranger game.
Do you really think that's the problem? Nope, most buyers probably direct the negative
input to the dealers because they are not present at SZ or any other fora.
Number of Audya buyers never confirmed, but I don't think there are so many Audya sold
as Korg PA2X or other top line arrangers.
Owners of any product would and should always look to the future and protect your investment.
Would you use the same words if you bought a brand new car that acted like we see reported
about Audya?
The "Black Box" in a modern cars are full of electronics, just as in a keyboard, would you
like it if you had to go through crashes, freezes and many OS upgrades like this?
I doubt it, it's only when it is Microsoft and arranger keyboard manyfacturers we tolerate
such things to happen.
