best Rock styles in any arranger i've heard,
better than on my G-70

it's due LARGELY to the live drums which no other keyboard has

thanks Frank

can you give us the LATIN styles now?
merengue, salsa, bachata, cumbia, bolero, cha-cha, rhumba, bossa, mambo, etc.

It is due ONLY to the drums...the rest of the parts are no better than any other arranger.

And it would be nice to hear some complex chords...they may not suit the rock styles, but Latin has a lot of juicy chords, and it would help to judge just how well the audio tracks handle them.

I agree with Ian (shocking I know).. If it weren't for those drums (that sound freakin killer by the way) these styles would just sound like all the other top end arrangers out there.

Those new drums are def driving these styles. I don't hear anything special in the other tracks that puts it above the others.

why doesn't YAMAHA, KORG or ROLAND get some LIVE sounding Drums for their arrangers?

then , it would be all over for Ketron ;-)

All I hear is drums...hardly anything else...does a real band play that way?

I know they want to feature the drums, but I think it's a bit overdone.

That may have been their intent Ian. The drums may have been mixed hotter so they get noticed more.

Still.., without those drums IMO this arranger sounds like all the other out there. I'm still waiting to hear what sets the Audya so far above the T3 and Korg PA line.

I asked on the other thread, Squeak,...is this the default volume for the drums?

You can hardly hear anything else.

It reminds of story about when the producer said to the drummer, "Can we try that again, but this time with more dynamics?"

The drummer answered, "Okay, I'll try, but I'm playin' as loud as I can!"

squeak asked:
"I'm still waiting to hear what sets the Audya so far above the T3 and Korg PA line."

answer: it's price

Ian stated "It is due ONLY to the drums"

the DRUMS, in my opinion, is the most important element of a style,
it's what drives the style
it's what makes you wanna get up on the dance floor,
it's the foundation to a good style

so saying it's ONLY the drums is indeed accurate,
but let's not forget how IMPORTANT the drums are, to get that LIVE sound which NO OTHER arranger gives you...
