It is safe - believe me. I & many others already went this route, long ago. From OS5.0 to OS5.3D & back to OS5.2A. I know of no experienced problems whatsoever by any user.

Dnj, the ONLY Audya problem that I'm aware of is the inability to play unofficial 3rd party user styles. It's only for this reason that we are going back to an older OS. There are no other software related problems on the Audya of any sorts - I need to emphasize this. Don't get the wrong impression.

You should go listen to the demos of my latest HIQ_Styles on the Ketron forumn. All created by a novice like myself onboard the Audya - No other arranger currently available can do same. I've always said that "style modeling" was the Audya's strongest point. Now I'v laid down plenty of stuff to demonstrate this. You can take this as far as your imagination allows you...

Yes, I did get bored with my Audya due to a lack of fresh new styles. So I started creating my own & in a week or so I created over forty good new styles with ease. Anyone can do same. This gave some new life to my Audya and when I get bored again, I'll create some more. Hence this fuss to get a copy of the last OS that would allow new styles in the hands of every Audya owner.
