Hi Audya fans.

I apologise for these basic questions but would really love some feedback if you get a couple of minutes.

I fell in love the Audya from the very first YT demo.
Tried to imagine raising nearly $10,000 for it (was the initial pricing here in Oz).
Anyhow i gradually became very disappointed when the unit was clearly causing so many problems.
Please understand that I am unable to even see or hear one in the flesh. There is no retailer within 2000 miles from me that will stock them - oh yes, happy to take my money and then get one in!!

I see that it is still out there and am now "thinking" about the module version.

My dilemma with Audya:-
1. Can't get to see/hear one - don't know any owners nearby or even in Australia
2. Can't get to play one
3. No local retailer support
4. No local service support.
5. Still asking big money.

I would still love to try one.

So is the Audya now very stable?
How does it compare to Tyros 5/Korg PA3XPro?

Thanks guys/gals

Pete

Hi,

Herewith my two cents:

1. Yes, it is completely stable. The few issues I find from time to time are not even worth mentioning.

2. Buy an Ajamsonic upgraded Audya direct through AJ.

He'll give it to you at a good price & I guarrantee fantastic support. Not to say you will not get support from another dealer, but AJ has proven himself over & over again and in any case you'll want to upgrade to the Ajamsonic version sooner or later.

3. Once you get used to the quality of the Audya's overall sound, nothing else will ever do it again for you.

Cheers mate,

Henni

G'day Pete, nice to see you drop by and welcome to SZ!!
Ive had the audya now for over 12 months, in a position like you, i really have to take a leap of faith and ordered one without any knowledge and glad i did. So far ive had no problems but thats maybe perhaps i have not dug deep enough to find its flaws, ive just really been enjoying its BIG Audio Style soundstage which really is incredibly and a thrill to listen to.
Support wise, i find most answers on this forum just like your offerings over at Korg, which I truely appreciate Pete. Also ive spoken directly with AJ regarding the Ajamsonic software today which is very reassuring.. Of course i cannot vouch for all on here.
Yes, it is crazy expensive, but i can appreciate the technology .. Unlike others, so far there is only one audya and like Henni's emphasis on the ajamsonic inclusion it only gets better and better, without have to fork out extra thousands for a new board/upgrade...
Not to say i dont get a thrill out of my other boards, but just playing straight OTB, for a keyboard the audya sounds amazingly real..
Thanks again for everything Pete...

Ps.. Being a drummer like you Pete, then again audya's biggest asset might not be as crash hot for you -:)

So... I am working with Audya every day (from 2009)....
I had too many problems, software and Hardware, but now my Audya is ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... I have also Korg Pa3x, but only Audya is a REAL BAND!!!!!.....
IS A AMAZING KEYBOARD!!!!!
Also I am working with Audya too more and Hard works, as programming New Styles (Audio Styles) "onboard in Audya" and work PERFECT!!!!!!
I am glad with Audya!!!!!!!!

I have had Audya for a year and a half, part of which includes the Ajamsonic upgrade. AJ walked me through the installation, and the only problem I have ever had is a corrupted style, which AJ would replace in a flash.

I have four other boards, but this is my main go to board.

Hi.
Had an Audya for a couple of months now.

1) Very stable. Need to get used to the way it does things.
2) Sounds are excellent - on a par with Motif.
3) These units are very expensive. Good but expensive.
4) Not got the Ajamsonic upgrade yet.

overall - very good bit of kit.
