So much for the assumption that an Audya 5 was going to be cheaper than a Tyros3 huh?

My original estimate from information I gathered on the internet led me to conclude the Audya 5 was going to be roughly $600.00 cheaper than a Tyros3. Not so, at least not in Portugal anyway. Frank's price was listed in Euros too apparently. Oh well, leave it to Ketron to charge an arm an leg for a keyboard that is in a perpetual "beta" phase right? Well, the Audya anyway. Hopefully Ketron will fare better with its Audya 4 and 5 products. I guess we'll have to wait until one of our rich Synthzone members e.g. Fran or DonM (or an oil barron from Saudi Arabia) gets one or the other and then posts something afterward telling us of the horrors they've experienced with their new Ketron product(s)... similar to what they have already experienced with the 76 key Audya eh? God forbid, but stranger things have happened don't you know. Like people forking over upwards of 5 Grand in the first place for a roughly thousand dollar piece of equipment. Now that's STRANGE!

All the best,
Mike


Mike, you sure have a knack for bending the truth, or at least misinterpretation.
As I mentioned in another post, I am just a hard-working, full-time musician, but insist on having the best tools for my trade. A $4500. keyboard is not extravagant in this respect. I generally haul it in a 1997 Chevy Silverado these days. It's a matter of priorities.
Also, I have had no problems whatsoever with any Ketron product I've owned, including the Audya, other than being damaged in shipment.
If you must mention my name in the context of being rich, please send money to make it true.
DonM
