I know you own a Ketron... but amazed you want to play it, if a lack of a GB sized RAM is enough to keep you away from the Audya You enjoy your current Ketron for what it is, rather than what it could be better at. Why not enjoy the Audya for the same reasons..? It's never going to have everything you want. Nothing ever does. But if it beats your current Ketron by quite a bit, why isn't simply that sufficient? I'm sure you didn't hang around when your current Ketron came out going 'it's only got USB1' (if that), or there's no sampler, etc., etc.. You bought it for what it DID... Me, I'd quite like an Audya to take for a spin, but I think I'll wait a couple of years and buy one s/h when the price returns to something closer to reality.. In the meantime, I'm just happy I have an arranger where you don't NEED to load up a decent piano in RAM. The onboard one is quite sufficient for me! Plus an extra 64MB SRX ROM tones that is always instantly available makes more sense to me than a sampler you never, in the heat of gigging, have time to load up. I still think adding a V-Machine or Musebox is the more flexible way of adding sounds, if the arranger's MIDI capabilities are capable of addressing it correctly.

Hi Diki. There's nothing wrong with people wanting the same features found in other keyboards added to their own favourite brand. Ketron's strengths are in producing keyboards that have sounds and styles that are both very good. Beyond that they are trailing very far behind when it comes to core features you would expect that would be standard on every keyboard at this stage. This is where the Audya stick out. It's their only premium priced keyboard, but it does not have the features to justify the price when compared to what the competition are doing for far less money. Someone wanting 1GB of RAM in a new and premium priced keyboards is not unreasonable. There are keyboards out there that already have 1GB and are not premium priced keyboards. A proper sampler with a good amount of RAM is a very important thing. You might not realise just how much so because it's probably not important to you, but anyone who has started using Samples would never be able to turn around now and do without them. I still think adding a V-Machine or Musebox is the more flexible way of adding sounds, if the arranger's MIDI capabilities are capable of addressing it correctly. Nothing at all wrong with a V-Machine or Musebox, but the ownership of the problem shouldn't be simply passed onto someone else. There is no substitute to having the sounds inside the keyboard your playing. Cheers James
