I think this thread has gone a bit out of hand.
I find it sad that a well respected company like Ketron is getting a bashing like this. At least give Ketron the benefit of the doubt and let them actually release the final product, then discuss it.
What some of you are doing is damaging Ketron for no apparent reason.
Okay, sure they should not have started marketing this product soo early but they did, I think we just need to be patient and see if they can solve the issues. Hopefuly they will hire some marketing experts in the future and not make a mistakes like this again.

Some of you guys keep mentioning the 5000$ price as being to high... maybe in the US, in Europe that's not the case, it is actually cheaper than the Tyros3. Unfortunately for you guys in the US the main market will probably be in Europe as we have a LOT of arranger players here, especially in Germany and Denmark where I am shure the Audya will sell quite well.

I really hope they will succeed, I think it has the potential.

Brgds

The people mentioning the price tag are purely guessing. The U.S. distributor told me that he does not know what the price will be until they are delivered to him. If he doesn't know, then nobody else in the U.S. can.

Well, I live in Europe too, retailer price announced N.Kr.59950,-.
Divided to 6,802 who is the the currency at the moment should give
US$ 8800 !!!
Then they have some offer, N.Kr. 50990,-. Still the amount of
dollars is: US$ 7476 !!!!
Here I can buy both PAX2Pro and T3 for that amount of money.

So you see Sir, the Audya have to be a h*** of a keyboard to
gain big sales at this high price level.

Exchange rates have no bearing on the prices a manufacture sells at in diffrent countrys.

As an example the Uk shop price of the Audya, converted is 4,759.26 USD

As you can see, the actual price will not be known until it ships

Regards

Bill

Exchange rates have a lot of bearing on the prices a manufacturer
sells in this country as well as other countries around the world.
It's a export/import issue, just like other products.

I know of no other forum that would allow someone to be called a "troll". I keep coming back to this forum for the technical/practical knowledge that I can apply to making music and making people happy (including myself). Unfortunately you have to wade through all sorts of character assassinations, corporate slander, political posturing. Too bad. Because NO ONE in the US has had the opportunity to actually rigorously demo the Audya the way that Diki or Leezone would there is all sorts of conjecture. Here's for freedom of speech but the tongue (keyboard) is a hard muscle to control.

There is no reason to apologize at all...
especially for an Open Architecture System...
cuz if the chords are not there in March they
will be in April...dont twist eggs...
