Leezone,

Frank will have packed his OS4 up now, signed it off as OK to Ketron, another job well done, or he's simply loaded 0S3 back on is double HDD Audya and binned OS4, back to the drawing board Ketron, Oooops ACAD. Wonder as Frank got MS or is he a dealer.

i just wanna see my AUDYA MODULE :-)

Well its deffinately started, I mean Musicmesse not Ketron, wouldn't you think that the ketron it website would have been updated by now with the news and so on, I mean nothing, I hope this is not going to be a fiasco and we are the joke

No Robbo,

You wouldn't it will be right at the last minute or not at all, it's not even mentioned on their site. This is the way Ketron operate, fly by wire!

Three things

1. The show has not long opened, and it’s highly unlikely they will post anything on their site until it is officially launched.
2. There is no reason to assume that the official launch will be on the first day.
3. MusikMesse is primarily for dealers, NOT the public; therefore don’t assume the public will be informed at the same time.

Hi Bill, when it comes to Ketron I don't assume anything, that's the point, they defy all logic,

as far as;

"1. The show has not long opened, and it’s highly unlikely they will post anything on their site until it is officially launched."

To quote the people in the know from the e-mail we all received, "we are so excited about what we will be unveieling, we can hardly contain ourselves", well it looks as though they are contained pretty well so far

"2. There is no reason to assume that the official launch will be on the first day."

Refer to point 1. When youv'e got something great, you dont wait till it's over to take the lead, and finally

"3. MusikMesse is primarily for dealers, NOT the public; therefore don’t assume the public will be informed at the same time."

Well you know this is where this industry has gone horribly wrong and indeed some part to Ketron, customers are what it's all about, and when you treat them with indifference and contempt, no amount of dealer spin is going to make it any better, I mean first out keyboardists are not going to spend $5k plus, so they are dealing with experienced hands, and they are not the ones to trifull with, they will make or break any company out there, as I said this better be good.

Still got the SD3 waiting for the extra styles and upgrades, waiting, waiting, waiting and so on. I'm sure you get the point Bill

Yes

Wow

Just had a listen to the video demo of the Audya 5, and I have to say, it’s a big disappointment after all the hype, fortunately I don’t place much credence on online demos, so I will leave the final judgment until I try one. (The biggest disappointment of all were the organ sounds)
So far, if I had to be lumbered with a hardware board, then it would still be the Korg PA2x. (Fortunately I don’t)

Looks like Ketron have been quite busy building new models,
but what OS is there when boot up?
Wonder why they put a 61 keys without speakers at the market?
Myself I would go for 76 anyway, but it was the first that
came into my mind when see the pictures.
Have to read the specs closer to see what/if differences form
"original" Audya.
Btw, where is Audya 2 and 3, did we miss something?

Cheers
