Hi together,
I visited the Musikmesse on Saturday and looked/listened to the new update - to be honest, except the new styles (some of them are very good) I did not found out too much other news - so I guess the improvements are more in the detail. Regarding sound improvements it was not possible for me to get an impression, it was very loud at that time on the booth.
Certainly I asked when it will be available. They told me in approx. 4 weeks (I personally have doubts on this, last year they told the same and it ended up 4 months later). On the price no information was given - we will see.
I were a little disappointed as they opened the booth at least with an half an hour delay and the announced first presentation at 10am was also delayed for an hour. Maybe I'm a little too German here - but to be late is one of the things you can really rely on with Ketron.
I visited also Yamaha and Korg. Yamaha as every year: The Tyros is a keyboard that doesn't mean anything to me - maybe it will change one time (Tyros 12 or so). Korg: I was very impressed from the new PA3X, much more powerful sound also on the style parts than the PA2X. I guess I will try one for some days when the device will be available.
