I have had my Audya 5 for at least six years now. No problems at all. I also have had a tyros 2, PSR S950 and now an SX900.also a Korg Havian, and Micro Arranger. All very nice keyboards but nothing sounds as live as my Audya 5.
As much as I love the Auday here's a few cons:
The keys are extremely sensitive. If you make the slightest finger slip while playing chords, you well get some unforgiving results.
Also I do feel that Audya is not a good choice for a nursing home or background music at a restaurant. Too live, so I use my Yamaha for that kind of stuff.
This is probably of no concern to most members of synthzone, but Ketron has very few styles suitable for regional/popular Mexican music. That's why I still need a Yamaha. But Ketron totally kills the tropical Latin styles, but I wish they'd make some more.
Awhile ago I put up an add to sell the Ketron because I really needed money, luckily nobody made an offer and I got back to work so I don't need to sell it anymore.
I'll leave a little sample of something my wife (vocals) brother in law (sax) did a while back with me on the Audya.
Enjoy.
