you know what they say:

"out of sight, out of mind"

I noticed that also.....they should of waited to Hype it and had it ready to ship to people at the height of the excitement...
I hope they dont have a major uphill battle selling it in this economy.If they keep the price on par with the other TOTL units or a bit below they'll have a chance.

Dnj,
i think you'll have a better chance of winning the "Mega Millions" or being struck by lightning :-)

Lets face it Lee....if the price is too high and people don't buy units they dont make any money......that is NOT the way to be adventageous to the company business thats profit 101.. only selling = profits.....unless this unit is miles above the rest of the competition it will not warrant a much higher price in customers eyes plain & simple. Meanwhile they are not alone in the Arranger KB race & new things are being developed as we speak so TIME is of the essence also in a year or so it will be old news..

The Audya can ask for that price because this unit is miles above the rest. At lease that is Ketron's point.

I hope your right....have you played on or heard it in person?...Miles above?

Hi,
and it removes some controllers at the begginning of the first bar.
I had real hassles with Controller 11 Expression.
My Styleworks Universal with Plus Package
( included an event list editor of sorts).
I thought this package may make up for the lack of onboard editing tools on my sd1+.
Unfortunately it didn't.

Pity they never created pc software style editor for the sd1. They're a great keyboard, just lacked style editing functions.

best wishes
Rikki

you say there is styleworks?,
but you're forgetting that styles works destroys all velocities which will make your drums sound VERY robotic like.

miles ahead? with what?

with their software?
elaborate style/note editing capabilities?
build quality? sliders? buttons?
touch sensitive lcd?
vocalizer?
Right hand sounds? cutting edge sounds?
76-note weighted/semi-weighted keybed?
ability to apply FX AND EQ to every single drum instrument within a track?
the whopping 64 MB RAM?

Thats Ketron's job to say why they should be asking for the price they will ask for. We will just have to wait and see what price they will ask for.

and we will have to see if the price THEY ask for justifies its purchase...
