Being a former Yamaha Tyros 2 player, the transition to Audya has been nothing short of a nightmare. An example is the registration system – what would require ten different buttons presses on the Audya can be programmed to only ONE button press on a Yamaha keybord! How am I supposed to press 10 different buttons in the same time while playing?

My point is, it does not help much with great sounds if it’s not possible to operate the machine properly. Add to this the general unstableness of the entire board, its still full of errors.

But hey, maybe I just belong to that 1% who is inclined to throw the damn thing in the dumpster and go buy a Tyros 3 instead. It may not sound nearly as good but at least the s… works.



Morten....dont worry TYROS 4 is coming soon
The other day I mentally slipped into maybe trying the Audya again 61 version....but later that day after a stage performance with my Yamaha S910 I quickly snapped out of it and knew Yamaha "at this time" is a perfect fit for me.....I also was never enamoured with the Ketron OS but I made it work best I could with my X1/SD1/X9/Midjay/ & your so right there is much more to a happy marriage then just the "SO CALLED" sounds & styles....Audya is a fine instrument but it isn't for "everyone" at all.
