You're correct about taking the instrument into consideration versus the demonstrator. Unfortunately, you need the demonstrator to SHOW what the instrument can do, rather than PLAY the instrument.

The best demonstrators (in many cases) aren't the best player - the reverse is definately true!

That being said, our new Demos for the AUDYA (officially released by KETRON) are on our website (www.ketron.it) and these are the only DEMOS we officially recognize which showcase our product at this time.

Thanks,

AJ

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.

Why did they put them in the centre.....
Its the best place to put it, you can use
left or right hand. The weel, Yamaha KX 88
have made the same, very good.
About 76 keybed..Very good,this is a KB for
real players,no midifileplayer.
About the righthandsound...hard to say,but what I heard soo far it sounds good. I have had all of the top of the lineKB. T2,T3,PA2X
G70,I think it is same class as T3 whitch is
IMO the best together with T2.PA2X Have a good arranger but the righthandsounds,,,
The G70 way after.All IMO //Tryggve

Seems that your left hand would be the most free for changing style parts...I could see having registration buttons in the centre, but not the style controls...but if it works for you.

I owned a Yamaha KX88...the wheels were in much the same place as a DX-7 which were on the left end block.

Perhaps you are thinking of the new Yamaha KX8?

I don't like the position of the wheels on the KX8...but they seem to be a little more convenient than the Audya's.

I noticed the performers having a hard time reaching them.

That's why I like 61 keys...the wheels are closer.

AJ. I am now listening to the official Ketron audio demonstrations of the live guitar stuff.

Firstly, the Folk Live Guitar demo. There are but three chords played in the entire demo. A major chord, a minor chord, and a 7th (and the 7th demo is ALL 7ths, so I'm not sure that it isn't simply being triggered by a major chord).

Next, the Clean Live... not even a 7th in that one. Just plain major and minor.

And the Rock Live Guitar didn't even have a minor chord, let alone a 7th.

Is there any chance of you putting up a Live Guitar demo that extends beyond these simplistic basics? Every now and then, I like to stretch out and play the odd diminished. Sometimes even an augmented... On crazy days, I even play a maj7th! And on my birthday, I treat myself to a 7#9, just for old time's sake...

Any chance of demoing (soloed, like these others are) what the guitar track sounds like on these chord types?

And please, don't get me wrong.. I am STILL not 'bashing' the Audya. It's the only thing since my G70 that has got me at ALL excited about a new arranger. But I DO need to know what it sounds like handling these more complex chords, as I (unlike apparently a few here!) do sometimes use them...

it's tough to get a SIMPLE answer to a SIMPLE question isn't it DIKI?

and no , AJ has not answered this already...

and if you guys believe he has answered it, then you don't know what a "complex" chord is or how to play one...

or maybe he has, in a roundabout kinda way...

too much secrecy goin on with this AUDYA

we need to know more on audio loops, how they work, and what they can play, or can't play

i guess with time...
