I am owner of PA2X Pro for 3 years, PA1X Pro 2 years before and Roland G800/G1000/VA76 10 years before KORG. So my experience in playng arrangers is realy big, I don't know how YAMAHA T3 work (the sound is great) but I love my PA2X Pro, the way of arranger play styles, guitar mode, etc, etc. So I realy like sound from AUDYA, Drums and Bass are perfect for me, wav/mp3 player too, transpose of audio files - perfect, tempo change too, ability for excluding vocal from audio song unbelievable, so maybe if you could to answer questions that will be relevant for me to bying new AUDYA 5 instead of PA3X.

At this point, it's dificult to know how AUDYA 5 work because I don't have one at my home, I have read AUDYA user manual but stil have some questions in that way....BTW sorry for my english and sorry if I ask some question which one is answered in user manual maybe, but you know, I don't have AUDYA at home to see and remeber all things from one reading of manual only.

<<<< STYLE - ARRANGER MODE >>>>
___________________________________

1. Is it possible to make style from midi file? I like that option in PA2 because I use lot of styles from midi files, and my gig is like
INTRO1
VAR1, VAR2,
Fill,
VAR4,
FILL,
INTRO2/BREAK,
VER 2,
FILL1/2,
VER4,
ENDING

2. Is it possible to play INTRO after arranger is started or ENDING only, or can I program some INTRO into BREAK ?

3. How many user stle places are available with 64MB and how many with 256MB of RAM?

4. Can I change styles but keep sounds for right hand (like keeping one touch settings from one style to another one)?

6. Arranger Fill mode like PA2 where I can program the order of variations played after Fill (as for the example - Variation 2 then press Fill 1 to Variation 3???)

7. Keyboard range from style sequncer On/Off function and Wrap Around for MIDI arranger tracks?

8.EQ for every track or global?

9. MONO/POLY track ?

10. TEMPO lock, TAP/RESET tempo, HALF BAR button or ability in realtime?

11. can I program SINGLE TOUCH SETTINGS for every STYLE? if possible, how many of them per style?


<<<< STYLE - SEQ MODE >>>>
______________________________

Is there STYLE sequencer? This is maybe PATERN EDIT?

1. CUE mode for Variations. For the example VAR1 is 8 bars, but I like to change next Variation from the begining or from 8th bar. This is CUE mode for??? (next measure, first measure or next measure, curent measure, and imediate first measure or imediate current measure)

2.style element track control like volume, expression, keyboard range for every MIDI track,

3. trigger mode and tension?


<<<< SOUND MODE >>>>
______________________________

1. How many oscillators per sound have AUDYA sond generator?

2. How many user places for user sounds are available with 64MB and how many with 256MB of RAM?


<<<< SONG BOOK >>>> (REGISTRATIONS)
_______________________________________

1. Possibility to store Genre, Artist, Key info, Tempo, Meter info data in song book for every registration, because of sorting?

2. Programing Sync start/stop or HOLD arranger in registration memory?

3. Programing STS settings for every song?

4. Search song book, FILTERING by name, genre, artist etc...

5. filtering in PA2 is very fast because of touch screen and QWERTY touch keyboard, but because of genre, artist, tempo...filtering too

6. Custom LIST available in song book?
