Nothing beats Korgs Sound Editing yet, no Yammie no Roland nothing and nothing will
for a while, not even Audya can beat that.

Nedim,
Yep...We will have to wait to see what full editing means on the Audya...Do you know any more details?

I mean there is gonna be editing features, more complex then the SD1 and the others but
it wont be as it is on Korg or Rolands MicroEditing as far as i know for now.
But i dont really see any bright future on it.

I guess I should play the part of Nedim, right now, and berate him for doubting that the Audya will have full voice editing capabilities. It's a fantastic instrument...

Why should he doubt this when he didn't doubt that audio chords wouldn't drop out after it was reported that they DID?

So it appears that perhaps I am not the ONLY one to doubt certain features... This is too funny!

You always try to put some fire but with me you never succeed it nor ever will.
I always stay behind what i say and you just always blabber on empty.
You might be a great musician thich i respect but i dont think you have any clue
of technology, like a blind person looking for beans inside a pot.
Yes i talked about Chords dropping...did you prove me wrong anywhere? Di i change
my thought of it? No! Todays reviews of the Audya prove i was right, dont they? And
thats an improved Audya since last show, next show it will be even more approved.
Which means it will come to the point where everything is perfect and that makes me
i was right, desnt it? Only if you are ignorant you would say no. As for Korg editing
or Audya capabilities, trust me, i know WAY better then you do, i work for both companies,
i know what they do, how they deal with things, how they implement things...and no,
Audya wont have a better Sound Editor then Korg, why? Its not mine or AJ's fault.
Ask Ketron Italy, the investors that put money into it. Why do i doubt this? I dont doubt it,
I KNOW IT FOR A FACT, i will be proven right once again when things settle down, same
as i was proven right for the CHORDS, wasnt i? I dont know if you are that ignorant and
iletarate or you just have nothing better to do then having fun here intimidating people
but thats your bussines, as i said somewhere else, people should ignore your comments.
Then this forum would be a lot beter place, we are mocked on every other forum, people
are laughing at us, only cuz of you...want a prove of that? Links to English forums or other
languages forums where your name is metnioned? This forum became a joke.

I went...and it was a lot of fun. Two other members were there, Tom C.(Michigan) and one other(can't remember his ID but Tom will. (Others may have showed up while I was at lunch, so if I missed someone...sorry) We have some photos and they will come later.

It was very interesting...Audya (AJ), Jay Fox playing SD-3 with a accordion and Ron Crites playing a SD-3 with a MIDI guitar. Ron plays ctuise ships. All the audio was played thru a PRO sound system and it kicked serious butt! (Yorkville). No, 8" $250 speakers would not have been the same!

Everyone did a great job and lots of music came forth! What great talent! These guys can PLAY! Big Time! My wife came over for a while and also enjoyed it, especially the accordian part as she used to play one.

Audya sounds excellant! It was a pretty full day of demo playing and presentation (Audya, Accordian, Guitar). Several folks tried out the Accordian with SD-3 and after all the excitement throttled down I spent an hour one / one with AJ on Audya. Jay was tearing down (6:30PM)...darn it...I would have liked a couple more hours with the keyboard.

I liked it a lot. Spent a lot of time on solo voices which were excellant. And lots of features were checked out. Listened to some styles, but would like to hear many more.

Also had AJ show me this issue (I asked) about complex chords using audio having some notes added by MIDI sounds...We muted everything but the Guitar (audio track) in our test style...while changing to chords that needed MIDI note(s) added was slightly noticable, if you listened carefully...not a very big deal to me.
While playing the full style I could not tell any real difference. YMMV.

AJ and I dinked around with many songs...I found the styles very good indeed and the solo voices very realistic. (Guitar could still use some work IMHO) but it sure wasn't bad either.

The Audya is truely multi-tasking OS...AJ was loading styles/and/or solo voices streaming from disk AS HE PLAYED a complete arrangement..Audya handled it perfectly.

As an example the new PRO level voices (forgot what he called them) loaded in just a couple seconds from HD. Ready to play.

Jay had a special price on Audya for anyone buying TODAY ONLY! $4,895. While I was there one was sold to a guy from Chicago. Bought and paid for. Delivery to be in a couple weeks (max). He was a current SD1+ owner. For me...the price is a negative.
If I used it for work...probably would be a lot less of a negative.

The Audya we had was pretty up to date but AJ said one level back. Also told me some of the things forthcomming soon. Style building/editing on the keyboard was one. Sound editing another. Full English manual also comming soon. More styles also.

The way I left it with Jay was when one came into stock (was told soon) to call me to come over and spend a full day with it on my own.I would need to spend a lot of time with it to decide if I would give up my PA2XPRO for it.

Not saying I won't...not saying I will.

My personal opinion is it is superb...anyone looking at it should spend a day with it to see how they like it overall. Probably Ketron fans...just buy it.

I was very impressed with AJ's presentation, he stated it is not a perfect keyboard, and no other one out there is either. I concur. He showed us a lot of the sounds / features.

I can tell you this...if I took Audya to a gig...(especially a dance gig) played all kinds of music..and 'if' I played well..I think the crowd would be impressed. It sounds terrific.

It really was a fun day for me....

Lee S.



Lee thanx for the report on the Audya....pretty much my thoughts when I saw it at the Shreveport, LA demo in January.....do you think the price is a big deterrent to many buyers or?....
Hope to hear more reviews as the Audya Demo Tour goes around the country....next George Kaye's store in CA.... then somewhere in Florida.

George is having a Jam at his store?? When will this take place? I only live a couple of hours from George Kaye's Music Scene store and I would like to go if at all possible. Donny, can you give us more details about the California Jam? Or perhaps AJ? Somebody? Anybody? George?

All the best,
Mike

Hey guys and gals,

Donnie wanted me to post some pictures from the workshop so here ya go:



















I can't leave these up for very long since they're on a test box here in my office. If Nigel or somebody else wants to transfer them to a more permanent space, go for it.
