For it to impress professionals, shouldn’t it be able to play more than basic chords?

And sorry, but we have moved WAY past sampled saxes that tongue every note. Articulated at a minimum, modeled for true ‘pro’ results.

I know these audio loop things impress when deliberately restricted to basic chords, but surely in these days of SSD’s and fast streaming, why can’t we have audio loops of more than three or four basic chords?


We dealt with this ages ago on the Audya Diki - we even had a shootout here on this very forum where I recorded chord sequences exactly as requested to prove that ALL playable chords are reproduced on Ketron using the Live Guitars. Someone then posted Yamaha versions to compare (I don't think it was you). In addition, I uploaded other tracks also using advanced chords.

There are certain unusual inversions that are physically impossible to play on a guitar. In this case midi guitars on the Audya are inserted, if so and the player doesn't like it, just use a different inversion. But discussing this is rather a moot point as the keyboard has not even been released! Maybe go back and find the recordings we did and then report back?
