I fired off an email to CMC distributors in New York asking about the price and if there are any distributors on the West Coast. I will let the group know of any details if I get an answer from them.

All the best,
Mike

As an Engineer for the company if you asked me what processor we used, how much memory ... etc, I could (within company guidelines) answer that. As for price, that's out of my department. You'll have to check with your prospective distributors/dealers.
Thanks,
AJ

The Audya is not in America as of yet, it still is a few weeks away.

There has also been no actually price announced for America either.

Utterly amazing... Even the Audya Manual doesn't say whether the Audya's USB interface is 1.1 or 2.0.

Ketron! AJ! Anyone from Ancona, Italy who can speak english!! Please!!! For the sake of potential customers who might be interested in the Audya!! Can any of you PLLEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEEE!!!! answer the question regarding the USB interface on the Audya??... Is it USB 1.1 or USB 2.0???

If I don't get a definitive answer, then the Ketron Audya will "definitely" be off my short list for potential arranger purchases.

Shame on Ketron for not divulging the truth about the Audya's USB interface! How dare you NOT answer the question put before you Ketron! Do you not want to sell the Audya in significant numbers? Or are you afraid if you tell people the Audya's USB interface is USB 1.1 that a more substantial amount of your potential customers will be hesitant to purchase it? Good grief!! Talk about shady business practices. And apparently, all for the sake of money no less...

That means I'll have to wait three more years and see if the Tyros4 will include a 76 key version, or perhaps in between now and then, whether Roland or Korg will come through with another totl 76 key offering.

>> I'm really disappointed in Ketron (Duh! [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif[/img]) for their willing and apparently premeditative effort in obfuscating the truth about the Audya's USB interface... I will NOT do business with a company that keeps secrets about any of their products specs and/or features. PS: I hope you guys at Ketron can sleep okay at night. [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Sorry for the rant, but it is very obvious to me anyway, that Ketron is hiding something and they obviously don't want people to be aware of certain things about the Audya's features that could potentially hinder its sales. That's the ONLY reason I can think of as to why they don't release this pertinent information i.e. = because the Audya only has USB 1.1 and Ketron is hoping that people won't care enough about that particular shortcoming of the Audya for them not to purchase one. Which some people wouldn't care I suppose [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/rolleyes.gif[/img] but if anyone has cared to notice: "we are in the 21st Century", and furthermore, USB 3.0 should be readily available within a year or so. Thus rendering the Audya not only obsolete upon its release date, but most likely severally depreciated in value on the open market by 2010 - if not before.

Merry Christmas! [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif[/img]

All the best,
Mike

Whoa! Take a chill! I'd assume that we're talking about USB2. Yamaha is the only company that tries to short change when it comes to technology. I doubt you could even still buy the parts for USB1...
