Your right Diki, I should have got rid about 6 months back, I wasn't under pressure for the cash so that’s why I held on, I am not certain if it was a wise move but I think by AJ 1 the now “Quiet Man”, the preverbal sparrow we might see something before the end of the month, a bit like “THE CHEQUE IS IN THE POST”. When OS4 comes it will probably SSDD, full of bugs, what else would you expect. A couple or so Audya have been sold on Ebay UK they brought around £2600.00 that’s a kicking of £1600.00 that more than you would lose on a Toyota relatively speaking. If a big outfit like Toyota can get the electronics badly wrong , what chance have Ketron, just imagine if Ketron made a 4 x 4 off roader or Ketron Larger, no alcohol and no fizz . I shudder to think!

Cheers

Too bad Tony, I LOVE the Audya more each day, night actually.
As far as the question, I was extremely happy to unload the Roland G800. It sounded good, but was unreliable. The paint was wearing off the numbers, the joystick spring broke in the first week or so, and it weighed a ton.
I was also ecstatic to dump the Korg PA800. It just sounded awful, variety of styles was non-existent and the fill-ins extremely limited. In all fairness, I'm told the OS upgrade improved it a lot.
I don't care. They had their shot at me, and it missed!

I know you do Don and good luck with it, I still see the Audya side by side with the PA2x and wonder where the £2000.00 is , you can buy two Pa2x for the cost of an Audya or I'm missing something!

Technics KN2600, yuck. Sold my PSR2000 to get it. Wish I still had it.

Actually I know where you can get a PA2X at a real bargain price. Hammer has been trying to sell his for months now with no takers. I certainly wouldn't trade my Audya for two of them though, and I also turned down an even trade for my Roland E80 for PA2X.
However, if I were you, considering the troubles you have had, and your feelings about the Audya, I would have merely returned it months ago and settled for the Korg. You don't like the company and you're not happy with the keyboard. Why keep fighting it? They will take it back or repair it for you.

Oh how I agree with you Scott.. After I had traded my Technics KN7000 in for the Tyros I bought a KN2600 to use as a second keyboard.. What a mistake! It was the last thing Technics produced and they certainly did NOT go out with a bang.

I've gotten my money's worth from it, Fran,
but now it's expendable. I may put it on Ebay. I'm sure it will sell quickly when I get serious about it.
I think I'll keep the E50 for back up because it's so light in weight.
