well, AJ probably likes me a little less now,

but i still feel they need a more "PRO" demo, show off more styles...

i mean i can play well, but if i was Ketron engineer, i would definitely hire a kick ass player, with lots of energy, etc. it's not enough to just play, you need to be able to demo it well, it's an art just like any other job...

just my 2 cents for what its worth

To be honest, although I'm sure AJ might not see it quite this way but I actually appreciate the more restrained nature of his demos... I'm actually trying to listen to the loop features as closely as possible, and anything that gets in the way is a distraction. I already know what I can do with a decent sound, but listening closely to what the MACHINE is doing is what is going to tell whether this idea floats or not.

So far, all simple majors and minors, from what I've seen. No sus chords in response to actual playing (anything moving is part of the loop whether you want it or not), no dims, no passing chords, no extensions...

Mind you, it still sounds great (always knew it would!), but I still have reservations about how well it's going to follow me. I look forward to another demo that puts it through it's chord change paces a bit more... Not everything is a one chord jam (or two or three!).

Diki,

Watch the other video demos. There is one in the booth where the demo'er does some Jazz chord changes. The Audya followed like a charm, IMHO.

Sounded great!

One persons view...When I was buying Electronic organs back a long while ago (Thomas, Lowry, Yamaha)..I was alway cautioned to LISTEN to the INSTRUMENT, Not the demo person...

Hey I like a good demo too..but it boils down to what I can do with the instrument..not what a highly paid killer demo guy can do.

But, I do like to hear those guys play!

During these demonstrations, the idea was focus on the keyboard and not the player. I have done demos in the past where the company said "too much playing" so ...

I will put up some Jazz demos soon with more challenging chord changes ...

Thanks,

AJ

Thanks, AJ...

Hey, is there going to be any Chord Sequencer-like function on it? The Riff feature was far too preset for my taste...
