Originally posted by DonM: Ian, if it said Yamaha on it, you would be praising it to no end.
First of all, Don, my comment was in response to Tony's needlessly insulting remark, and not aimed at you, the Audya, or the rest of this thread...but, now that you're here... Even if it was a Yamaha we/you were discussing, until I've heard the audio guitars in action and playing the complex chords that most experienced players would use, it's still in the Beta stage, in my opinion, and that of several others on this forum, as well. That's not an insult to the Audya...it is just something that hasn't really been demonstrated clearly enough for anyone wondering about it's performance to make an informed opinion. I'm not going to buy one, anymore than I'm going to buy a Toyota, being a Honda man myself, but that doesn't mean I can't have any interest in something that is new or groundbreaking, which the Audya allegedly is. So, when you have the time, why not showcase the audio guitars...maybe even get in on the E-Jam...I'd like to hear it in action, by a pro such as yourself?

Hey Mike..My MediaStation is working great..It plays chord changes as well as any other arranger keyboard..I use the LiveStyler program that is interfaced with the MS control surface...I use the Tyros styles with the Yamaha VST (not the old little XG file from years ago)..It sounds every bit as good to me as the Yamaha XG arranger section of todays boards.. As I use the arranger sparringly..I have more than I need.. Here is some food for thought about this unknown company...My MS has the B4II organ, the Steinway Piano and a Rhodes VST that kicks butt with all the controls found on the old EP,s...People are buying the Nord Stage piano..and The MS with this setup is far better ..All 3 of the sources B4II, Steinway and Rhodes are superior to the Nord Stage...and the MS has better control too.. At the same price point as the Nord...you have the arranger, VST control, sampler,audio recording, sequencing, Audio playback and editing..etc...It starts to become a no brainer in value..compared to the Nord stage..or in fact any other keyboard in it's price range.. As for these companies folding tent..as you mentioned in previous posts...not even close.. Look for exciting news in the next couple months from Lionstracs..and also Ketron...you know..the companies unknown to so many..except people that can afford and appreciate them....
