Friends,

I think Henny and Tonewheeldude combined have explained this well, to the best of their capability.

Ketron (like other companies) sub-contract work to other firms (like ours); we also design and build upgrades (such as the AJAMSONIC series) for keyboard manufactures (sometimes in collaboration with them ofcourse in order to align with their specifications ... etc). However, we all share a cordial and very friendly relationship. We also have the pleasure to work closely with some of the Ketron Engineers both on Ketron and other products and developments ... as permited so it's not a black and white relationship (hope this isn't taken negatively in anyway).

As to our commitment to helping others, I think our feedback (or mine as was the case since I first joined this forum on 21st/03/2001 @ 01:00 PM) should speak for itself. If we/I was willing to offer my help and support to the Ketron products family then, what more of now with our product? Again, I have always found and treated forum members as 'family' members, something I learned from both the Italian and many African cultures ... it's about putting PEOPLE FIRST!

As to using Yamaha samples, no, we didn't do that (it's illigal!!). However based on our library source (which isn't exclusive to AJAM - yet) plus further tuning (and in some cases re-sampling all together so as to maximize memory allocation in AUDYA), it is true that the new AJAMSONIC sound sets are on par with many other top Synth and workstation manufactures (especially with Ver 2.0).

Having said that, I will continue to offer my services and support where needed and welcomed, including those with products purchased anywhere, and to our customers, have no fear!

Thanks,
