I agree with most of the points Jim made in his two above post...about the Audya sounds more like individual instruments in a live band...but not the ego thing..

That single mic analogy..nails the way I view what I hear from Yamaha more than what I hear from Korg..but you are right...that seems exactly how they were recorded....too much blended together..and TW also nailed it too..blended sounds become "organish"...giving the sound less definition..

One thing for sure..this is not a problem with Ketron...

Now before you guys all get upset and start the "polished" argument as a CD quality...Go listen to recordings of produced CD's featuring bands....now listen..do you hear the individual instruments standing on their own..yes ..that's right..sort of like what we hear from Ketron...
