and just to add my $.02

this "top-notchness" goes a LONG WAY in ANY companies success...

and now ANOTHER 5 DEMOS up at:
http://ketronaudya.wordpress.com/

gonns go check em out

just wanna say, i think it's great that these guys in Portugal are taking the time to record, and post these videos for those of us LESS FORTUNATE here in the USA

it's a shame that SUCH A SMALL country like Portugal has TONS of people trying out this AUDYA, and this HUGE country called USA , well....you know,... keep on waiting i guess....

Got to have one to post anything, I guess!

One thing for sure... As soon as they become more available (or available AT ALL, for us Americans!), there will be no shortage of user demos posted...

Unlike the mysterious MS, or the Wersi. I guarantee, the first person to get one here won't be shy about showing it off

I've seen & heard enough....
Audya not on my shopping list.
To all who venture....enjoy!

Ye Gods!

An arranger that Donny is NOT going to buy!

Mind you, early days... let's see where this goes once he gets his hands on one for a while

Dnj,

maybe it's not for you, as the type of music you play does not benefit from this...

but for PORTUGUESE/LATIN , folk like, wedding band stuff i do, this may be the answer,

all we need now, is for it to be released,
for it to be competetively priced
and for it's styles to be customizable, and creatable from scratch...

Lee Im sure you could do just a s good with a SD1+ no problems.

Don't bet on it 76 keys, No speakers ? thats alone is a No sale ....Although now I'm very content with the S900 I now only look forward to the next S series model from Yamaha & I'm in no rush at all. I'm not a fortune teller like some here....I'll try them all...but will only change if at all or add too when it's right FOR ME....
I learned my lesson with being a curiosity cat....I'll sit back, make a good living playing music...& be a happy camper.

Carry on

Hi Lee,

I'm a HUGE Yamaha fan & I doubt if you'll find one single negative comment I've yet made about them.

But, Martin is a Charismatic person (he would make for an good evangelist) and as such portrays and shows of the Tyros 3 with extreme enthusiasm - definitely a shortfall on the Audya side. Also, Martin's style is more to our liking with Rock, Ballads, Elton John stuff etc.

Unfortunately, it seems like the folks at Italy and Portugal are more into Latin like stuff and as such the Audya do not portray it's full potential in the area that we are comfortable with.

But even with all the above, the Audya is clearly in a league of it's own and I for one cannot wait to be in a position to be able to aquire one for myself.

Keep well,
Henni

The demonstrators look like they find the style controls rather awkward to use...why did they put them in the centre?

The pitch/mod wheels are quite high up on the panel and seem to be a stretch to access.

They should have kept it to 5 octaves.

Sounds aren't standouts, although the drums are excellent.
