Friends,

I just thought I should start a different thead with this to clarify a few things many have presented here as not being able to be accomplished on the KETRON AUDYA. In light of this, I also wanted to mention some features that have been 'ignored' all together too.


1. STYLE EDITING.

You can EDIT styles on the Ketron AUDYA keyboard and save these styles as user styles (thus maintaining the original factory style). You can also EDIT User styles as well.


A. EDITING ON THE FLY!

* Select a STYLE.
* Press the STYLE VIEW button to display all style parts.
* Select the part you want to change (e.g Bass track) and simply turn the Data/Value wheel to select a new BASS instrument (Phrase remains unchanged. To change the Phrase, you will have to enter the PATTERN EDITOR available in OS 4.0).
* For AUDIO - the same applies. Select the AUDIO DRUM or LIVE GUITAR track or Chord 4 (Arps&Lick) track and change. You can select Audio data from a Bank for Drums, Bass and Guitars. When satisfied with the 'new' style, simply press SAVE to save it.
* You can also replace an AUDIO track (Drums, Bass, Chord 5/Live Guitar) with a Midi track (and the reverse is true) depending on what you want.
** For the above, you can also edit not just the VOICE, but the EFFECTS, PAN and apply the changes to either the ENTIRE STYLE (Arranger A-D ... etc) or just the current Arrangement selected.

B. DETAILED EDITING (OS4.0)


2. USING USER AUDIO DRUMS WITH YOUR STYLES.

As of OS3.0 you can use your own AUDIO DRUMS with your current Factory or User styles.
* Simply prepare your wave file so that it's length and tempo are set/determined by you. E.g Soca_A@100.wav, Soca_B@100.wav ...etc (the value after the @ tells AUDYA the root BMP from which it can/will stretch the Audio file with no pitch changes to match the tempo changes you'll throw at it later. The 'A', 'B' .. etc tells YOU which wave file you will assign to Arranger A, B, ... etc.
* Prepare all your wave files and copy into the USER AUDIO DRUMS folder of the AUDYA's Hard Drive.
* Activate USER AUDIO DRUMS=ON (STYLE MODE - DRUMS 2/2)
* Again, from the STYLE VIEW, press the DRUM1 button (F1). Now you have access to the Midi drums. Press again and you have access to the AUDIO drums. Press again and you now have access to the USER DRUMS from which you can turn the Data Value wheel to seach for the Audio drums you want to assign eiher to the current Arrangement (Singel) or the entire Arrangement (Global).
* Test/Play and repeat for all other Arrangement parts. Then save when satisfied.
*NB:- From this same screen you can press Chord 5 (F10) and choose either a Midi Guitar, or a Live Guitar or (in OS4.0 a USER LIVE GUITAR). Chord 4 (F9) can be used to toggle between Midi parts or Arp&Lick.

3. STYLE CREATION (Available as of OS4.0)

* You can create a style from scratch or build a style using style parts from existing styles (both factory and user).
* Select a User style and press EDIT to access the PATTERN EDITOR.
* Select NEW STYLE to create a new style from scratch or simply EDIT the current style selected.
* Here, you can COPY parts from other pre-existing styles into your styles.
* You can also copy their corresponding AUDIO parts (Drum, Bass, Guitar) or the Bass from STYLE A, GUITARS from STYLE B ...etc. It doesn't matter as they all pull from the same library.

4. MIDIFILE - DRUM REMIX.

* Select a MIDIFILE and replace it's existing Midi-Drums with a drum. To do this ...
* Press 'Midifile' to access the Midifiles.
* Press F9 to turn REMIX=ON.
* Now select a Midifile you want to play and press ENTER (for this example, select the file Doctor_z**). Audya will pre-load the file and START will flash waiting for user to select the style whose drums you want to use with the Midifile.
* Press any STYLE group button and select the style whose drums you want to use with the Midifile (for this example, press BALLAD and select the style POB_BALLAD_1).
* Now press START. The midifile now plays with the new style Drums. (When you press STYLE (<< ), you're playing with the STYLE'S Drums or you can revert to the original Midifile drums when you press MIDI (>> ) on the fly). Any tempo changes within the Midifile will be honored by the new drums as well. You can press Arrangement A-D, Fill ins, Breaks ...etc
**NB:- USER DRUMS can also be used with DRUM REMIX - Simply Edit a style to have it use USER DRUMS. Then use this newly edited style for your Midifile DRUM REMIX.

5. MIDIFILE - LIVE GUITAR REMIX (As of OS4.0).

Same as above, but now LIVE GUITARS can be added to Midifiles. It get's better - you can replace Midi Guitars with live AUDIO guitars from AUDYA within the Midifile; the chord changes will be automatically handled by AUDUA derived from the Midifile as it plays.

6. VOICE LIST (as of OS3.0).

You can Create for every SOUND GROUP (e.g PIANO, ORGAN, GUITAR ... etc) a Voice List which is 2 ages of your favorite 20 Voices in any order. These voices can be assigned to any STYLE so that when you select a style and press VOICE LIST, your favorite Sounds associated with that style are called up.
* To activate, press STYLE MODE - MODE 1/2 - Voice List to STYLE = ON (F1).
* EXIT to the default screen and press VOICE LIST to access the current Voice List.
* Press EDIT (Voice List Button flashes denoting EDIT mode). Select current location F1-F10 and select new voice for that location. When done, press SAVE [This process has beem modified in OS 4.0 making it a lot easier to create and save the current voice list and an entire USER VOICE LIST to Hard Disk for future recall].

7. INTERACTIVE LIVE GUITAR .... a feature not many know about.

* This featuer allows you to 'play' the LIVE GUITAR STRUMS with chords ... what other manufactures refere to as 'GUITAR MODE'. What happens is, when activated, if you play the chord hard (press fast on a chord to the left of the split point), the LIVE GUIATAR is 'replaced' with a LIVE STRUM ....you get to manually play the LIVE GUITAR part!
* Press STYLE-MODE and set the INTERACTIVE GUITAR value (F2) at '90' (the lower the number, the lower the velocity needed to activate).
* For this example, select the STYLE POP-BALLAD-1 under the BALLAD Style category and press ARRANGER B.
* Play the style.
* Now play a chord as though you were 'banging' on the keys a little. Notice how you can now play your own 'strumming' [I'll update on Youtube in a while]. But now you can go to the Chord 5/LIVE GUITAR and select any Guitar template from the table and apply the same effects.

8. VOICE TO ARRANGEMENT (as of OS3.0).

* Common future where you can assign a voice to each of the ARRANGEMENTS. This way, you can assign PIANO to Arranger A, Guitar to Arranger B, Choir to Arrange C and Sax to Arranger D. Now when you play a style, as you change from one Arrangement to another, the voice parts change automatically.
* Press STYLE MODE - MODE 2/2.
* Press F5 to enable (STYLE ENABLE ON) this feature.
* Press F10 to enable it Globally (apply to all styles) - GLOBAL ENABLE ON.
* Now use F1-F4 to assign the voice you want to use with the corresponding Arrangement (e.g. press F1 to assign a voice to Arranger A. Press the VOICE GROUP from which you want to select a voice, and use the DATA/VALUE wheel to access the individal voices within that group. Repeat for the other Arrangement parts.
* Now play and change from Arrager A-D.

9. STYLE BALANCE (OS4.0)

* Ketron has further balanced ALL styles now. However you (USER) can also balance to your liking ... STYLE MODE - MODE 2/2 -STYLE BALANCE. This wills set the over all balanced volume of the syle with respect to the LEAD/RIGHT parts.


10. MACRO RECORDING (OS3.0 I think).

This feature allows you to record all/selected events as you play on AUDYA (style, voice change ... etc). The file created is very small (smaller than midi)and can be given to another AUDYA user to reproduce the entire recording (as long as the equivalent AUDIO files are in both AUDYA keyboards). This makes is easy for someone to record and transmit via Email attachment to another AUDYA USER - AUDYA community?
* Press MENU and MARO RECORDING (F10).
* Select the contents of the Macro file about to be created and Name. Then start recording.
* How does this differ from a MIDIFILE? The control panel data is also recorded together with all events, audio/midi ... etc.

11. KETRON'S VCE (Voice Character Emulation) - OS4.0 or higher.

This new feature in Ketron products now reproduces the ARTICULATION involved in most wood-wind and Guitar SOLO instruments. While the AUDIO parts are a solution to the Arranger aspect because MIDI can only go but so far to reproduce real Guitar tracks, we have now added new Sounds which depending on how you play (velocity, key off, pitch and note from-note to characteristings, you will be able to recreate the instrument sound the way it was ment to be played (listen to breath and opening/closing of holes on Sax, fret noises and slides in Guitars, human breath in some Choir sounds ... etc. With this Articulation used with most voices, Ketron's Best Natural Sounds just got better!!

+++ MORE TO COME and as always, all discussions are welcomed!


Thanks,

AJ

OS4.0 is complete. Now it's a matter of how to release the 1.5GB massive update without crashing the servers.

We might have to go through the distributors ... dealers ... users via USB storage devices (not sure yet).

Thanks,

AJ

Thanks for reply..i quess it will take to time..you can give a download link to your dealers and they can download and put their local web site.. or they can download then make a dvd then they can post their customer..this can be fastest way for release..or you can upload to rapidshare ....

anyway...i have one more question...i had SD1 an i could creating a user drum set with *.wave files and rom files together..will it be possible in audya??

necdetdoni,

This is possible with AUDYA as of OS3.0 with the MSP (Multi Sampler Editor). The full Sampler is in OS4.0.

* Sample your individual Sounds that make up your drum set (Kick, Snare ...etc) and store as indipendent Wave files in the WAVE folder of the AUDYAs Hard Drive.
* When you have all the files in there, press WAVE, then press EDIT to access the MSP. Here is where you can assign each drum sample to whichever key you want.
* When done, test your kit and then SAVE your new MSP (e.g NecDrm.msp). You can now load this MSP anytime to use with any style. Remember though, it is advisable to follow the GM/GM2 Drum Map so you do not have to remap the kit each time you go to use this kit with an existing Ketron Style.

Hope this helps ... similar to what was in the SD1/SD1Plus but with a more powerful EDITOR

Thanks,

AJ

PS: Thanks for the OS4.0 suggestion(s) ... maybe a little more work for our distributors/dealers but it will be worth it - trust me.

Yeah i know this..but in SD1 you could mix wave and rom files files together not only wave files..for example kick and hihats from sd1 and snare from user wave file... and in Audya if you create a MSP as a drum set you cannot use in a midifie (midi track 10)!!! its very important for me for play ethnic and regional songs..it was possible with SD1

necdetdoni,

You're right. Let me look into this further. I think it was resolved in 4.0 but not sure yet. It works well for styles (using ROM drum kits with MSP), but not yet for Midifiles! Ops ...

Thanks,

AJ

so if i understand you correctly AJ the Audya does not have a true sampler as in the ability to sample sounds into the keyboard using just the keyboard and an external sound source ? and it does not as yet have a fully functional onboard sequencer ?

You could release it as a torrent, understandably not many here use them, but it would help deliver it without so much strain on your servers, as others will take a part of the burden.

Hi AJ

Thanks for this info. Seems like a lot will be implemented with the coming update. We are indeed many who looks forward.

Another way for Ketron to distribute these 1.5 GB, could be to upload it on a free file sharing service such as www.dropbox.com They do in fact support these large file sizes and you wont run the risk of over exhausting your own server.
Anyway just a suggestion, Brgds

It does have a true full Sampler (which we have kept locked until OS4.0 in order to better develop the GUI).

Prior to OS4.0, only the multi Sampler works (files are already sampled and simply edited, and/or assigned to keys). With 4.0, you can record your won sounds via LINE IN, MIC INPUT ... etc. as the fill Sampler will now be made available (unlocked).

Thanks,

AJ

I thought you'd mentioned 'last question' above

As for the hardware, yes. Remember Audya 4 and 5 come with the 16 Multi-tabs which are not available on AUDYA.

However the new sounds and styles dedicated to OS4.0 will work on current AUDYA products perfectly (for which this OS was initially designed for). AUDYA 4 and 5 will be shipped out with OS4.0 already as standard/initial OS.

Thanks,

AJ

AJ,

One question only.

If we compare the current Audya and the Audya5, can we say that apart from the 76 keys keyboard, the Audya5 have more up to date hardware?

That being the case, if the 76 keys is no important for the purchaser, the Audya5 is a better deal.

hey AJ,

as you seem to be "active" on this thread:

once i buy my AUDYA4
can i swap the 80GB to 1TB?
will it slow down AUDYA, crash it, compatible?

i really need to know as 80GB is definitely not enough for me

don't know why Ketron would put such a small HD in such a "big" arranger
at least something from 4 years ago, like a 250GB, would be nice

The expansion slot on the Sound Board which allows you to upgrade the internal RAM to 256MB would be the only main difference. This Sound Board can also be used in AUDYA.


leezone

You can swap it to a 1TB HD, however only 100GB max will be usable ... for now. There are plans to (via software) have it read up to 500GB, but not sure yet about 1TB. No slow down/crashes. I do understand your point about using updated/modern HD but ...

Thanks,

AJ

AJ,

just on question. What kind of procedure is planned if want to extend the memory of my Audya, especially if I have an Audya with an "early" soundboard where no memory slot is available?
If my Audya is one this, is currently in clarification.

Joe

Unfortunately, that arrangement is not in my department so I have no idea how that will be handled ... I know the expansion kit is optional for the newer Audya series units (4&5) as well.

Hi AJ.

Just wondering about some things regarding Audya and the new OSxx.
Any hardwarechanges in the new prodution (if any) of the Aydya made to i.e. support
planned/further upgrades, and if so, when do they ship that items from factory?

Cheers
GJ

Btw,
why not upload the new OS as .iso file splitted and packed into .rar to a
filesharing server like i.e. Rapidshare or similiar?
That way you don't have to worry about the bandwidth.

This is crazy... I'd nearly donate the 50 bucks it costs for an Unlimited Rapidshare account for Ketron to get this OS out once and for all.

AJ,

just downloaded it, why is it only 56 MB data? I guess the revised samples, new audio drums etc. will be provided in a separate package?

I would love to know what software compressed al that down to 56 MB.
Guess it's only data, no soundfiles etc?

... and here is what OS 4.0 brings to the table ...

Special Features in AUDYA¡¦s OS 4.0

1. New Sampler / Wave Editor now Activated : New function for Wave tracks, Sampler and MSP Edit (see page #2) within the Wave and MSP menu. You can now sample / capture your own sounds with Audya.
2. New Live Guitar Remix : Powerful Remix feature within the Midi File menu. Now, the Live Guitars can be added in the REMIX menu and linked to follow the harmonic chord changes of a midi file automatically while playing. (See page #9). Think of this as having a Live Guitar player playing along with your midifiles in real time!
3. User Live Guitars : New User LIVE GUITARS that can be loaded into Ins-Ram memory (See page #14). These guitars can be associated with styles and replace the current Chord 5 track of a style with new Live Guitars!
4. Chord Solo : A new ¡§Chord Solo¡¨ function has now been included within the STYLE MODE > CHORD 2/2 menu (F2). When turned on, all Style parts (Drum and Bass) are instantly muted apart from the Chords. This feature can also be assigned to the USER Slider control by pressing the User Assignable button (LED flashes in edit mode), and pressing F10 repeatedly until the required chord part to assign to this fader is displayed. F7, F8 and F10 have a ¡§>¡¨ denoting more information exists when pressed repeatedly. The highlighted item in this column (F6-F10) is what will eventually be controlled by the User Slider control when editing is completed. Remember the User Assignable tab has to be on for this to work.
5. We¡¦ve also added the ¡§Glide¡¨ function and it¡¦s associated parameter ¡§Glide Time¡¨ located in Menu > Keyboard Control > Pitch ¡VVolumes -Tran.
6. We¡¦ve included ¡§Jukebox¡¨ in Menu > Keyboard Control > Utility > Page 3/4 > F9, which allows you to queue the next song to be played while a song is playing. When turned on, this feature allows you to select a song (in the Wave, MP3, SFX, Midi playback screen) and while it is playing, if you select another song, a blue dot is displayed next to it showing it will be played after the current song.
7. Another new function ¡§Wave Filter¡¨ is located in the User Assignable > F7 (may need to press repeatedly and only works if ¡§User Assignable¡¨ is on).
8. Wave Equalizer : Added under MENU > DSP > WAVE EQUALIZER. Select the initial setting (F1-F5) you want to edit. Then press EDIT to view it¡¦s current settings and edit it¡¦s parameters to your liking. You can use ACTIVE/INACTIVE (U1) to hear the difference between your changes and the initial settings, DEFAULT (U2) to return to the default settings, and SAVE (U5) to save your final settings.
9. Portamento Autoswitch : Also associated with the automatic Aftertouch On/Off feature, these new feature automatically turn on Portamento (F8) and / or Aftertouch (F7) when programmed within a Preset or Program voice i.e. if you select a voice where these features were active when edited. Functions are located under Menu > Keyboard Control > Aftertouch, F7 and F8.
10. Lock Regs Micro : This new feature found in MENU > Keyboard Control > Utility > Page 4/4 (which can be saved in Custom Start Up), allows one to freeze Microphone and Voicetron preset regardless of which Registration is selected or loaded when on.
11. 2nd Voice Output to Out 1 & 2: 2nd Voice can now be routed to Outputs 1 and 2 independently. Function is under MENU > OUTPUT ASSIGN > OUT1&2
12. Lock Style Balance : Global Style balance values can be locked for all Audya styles so that as you switch from one style to the next, the style¡¦s volume is fixed. This function can be activated by pressing the Style Mode > Modes 2/2 > Style Balance (F9) and then pressing both horizontal cursors < & > at the same time to lock the current value (a ¡§*¡¨ is displayed next to the value showing style volume has been locked). This function¡¦s status can be stored in Custom Start Up.
13. Preset Voice Edit : At last, you can now Edit the Preset Voices and Save the result as a Program (original Presets remain unaltered but are used as a reference point). To do this, select your Preset voice (F1-F10) and hold down the related button for about 1 second, then you can now edit all designated parameters displayed on the screen. Once complete, press SAVE and choose your own program location in memory (F1-F10). Then name it using the keyboard¡¦s keys corresponding to the required letters and press Save To Disk (U4) to save to disk or Save (U5) to store it in memory. To play your new voice, simply press the PROGRAM button and locate where you saved your voice to (F1-F10) and play.
14. Edit Micro / Vocalizer : Microphone and Vocalizer Edit features are now accessible by holding down for over a second their related buttons to access their edit screens. This is also true for the Harmony Edit feature (already available as of Audya¡¦s OS Version 3.0).
15. Drum Remap Global : In the DRUM MIXER setting, Drum Remapping can be done either in a Single or Global setting. Press the DRUM MIXER button > GLOBAL or SINGLE (U5) and then DRUM REMAP (U4). Remap values will either be applied to the current Single setting or entire (Global) settings.

WAVE EDITOR

With Audya¡¦s OS version 4.0, you¡¦ll find within the Wave Player Menu a new WAVE EDIT feature associated with (F9).

In order to use this new function properly, first highlight the wave file to edit - then press the WAVE EDIT (F9) button .


Once the Wave Edit button is pressed a pop up screen will display showing the current loading status. Once completed, the waveform will be displayed on Audya¡¦s screen together with a related tools palette that can be used to work on the imported file.

NB.: A Stereo file will however be displayed on Audya as a single waveform



Beside the new imported waveform, Audya will show three marked lines (see picture with arrows above) to indicate the file¡¦s Starting Point ( Blue ), Fade Start Point ( Grey ) and End Point ( Black)

Here is a detailed explanation of each tool:


1. Zoom: allows one to magnify (or reduce) the waveform displayed.

2. Start: Set the Start Point of waveform (by moving the Blue line which turns red).

3. End (E): Set the End Point of waveform (by moving the Black line which turns red).

4. Norm: Apply Normalize (or amplify) function on the waveform (range 0%-200%).

5. Fade: Set the Fade Out time (shown in ms) related to the End of the original waveform (Max. 8s).

Once you select a new Start (F2), End (F3) or Fade (U1/6) point , the Blue transport bar colour will change to red denoting edit mode (file has changed). All values are editable by alpha Dial (quickly) or by cursor (step-by-step).
Pressing both (Left & Right) cursor buttons (< & > ) at the same time will restore the initial/default value of Start / End point and will restore any previous Fade setting changes made.
Using up or down arrows will automatically initiate Zero crossing function.

As showed in the picture above, when a new parameter is selected, a Preview, Restore and Save tab will appear on the bottom of the display .

What do these newly displayed buttons do? :

1. Preview: Allows one to preview the edited waveform with the new assigned value(s).

2. Restore: Allows one to UNDO the preview action taken on the wave file.

3. Save: Save an edited file with all current changes *or none*.

In order to hear the effects of the NORM and FADE rendered features, the user must select the PREVIEW function. As expected, this feature needs computing time (related to the wave length or size) in order to finalize the result of the current action on the wave file.
The rendering feature will not be necessary when using the START or END features .You¡¦ll be able to hear it immediately .
If for instance you select the NORM parameter at 100% your own waveform will be Normalized in order to gain all dynamic range available. However we suggest to use less (i.e. at 90%) as if any sound source is further applied to this wave, the total output amount could be overloaded -unless a properly distorted or overdrive effect is wanted.
When done, use the PREVIEW and when the computing is completed, you can hear and see the difference(s) as showed in the picture.


Sometimes to get the exact START or END points, it is necessary to use the ZOOM feature to get a closer look at the wave (magnified).
Here are the ZOOM values to consider : 1x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 1:8, 1:4, 1:2, 1:1.
The first 4 values (1x, 8x, 16x, 32x, ) are for traditional magnification of the waveform. The others are useful as Sample windows to analyze waveform as block of 1:8, 1:4, 1:2, 1:1.

In a detailed explanation:

1. Move the Start Point ahead (e.g. set START value to 24040).
2. Select ZOOM feature and assign 16x value.
3. Select the START feature again.

If everything is done as suggest above, the display below should be shown on your screen too (if using the same wave file):


The display will now show a more detailed version of the file with the ZOOM feature :

If the ZOOM is magnified, the display then shows the related value associated with the point selected (Arrow will show value updated),

WAVE EDIT within the MSP template


The WAVE EDITOR menu is also available within the Multi Sampler (MSP) template to create your own MSP (F10).
Simply select MSP Edit once you¡¦ve pressed the WAVE and then EDIT buttons, load your wave file and it will be available on display.


Once the wave file has been loaded and you press WAVE EDIT, Audya¡¦s screen will show a screen shot like the previous Wave Edit screen mentioned above. The main obvious difference is the new LOOP (F4) function only available to the MSP editor.

The LOOP feature, as understood allows one to set a Loop point on the selected wave (that has just been loaded). The LOOP point will be shown on the display by the Green horizontal line (as shown in the picture above). Once LOOP point is selected (F4 button ) it¡¦s value can be edited by the usual directional cursor buttons (< and > ) or with the Alpha Dial.
When both navigation arrows are pressed together, the LOOP point will be set at the same mark as the START point automatically (meaning if the key associated with this waveform is pressed and held, the sound will be repeated from the start of the wave after the entire file has been played). If both cursor buttons are pressed together once more, this feature will be de activated .
NB: The Wave Edit recognizes LOOP Points which can be assigned via a computer using professional Audio Editor. This is usually recommended for more detailed and accurate wave form design.


As previously mentioned, START, END and Loop preview features are available by pressing the assigned wave button of the MSP .
NORM and FADE functions need to be processed before PREVIEW (as previously mention above)
Once modifications are completed, you can save your newly created/edited file by using the SAVE feature.
If while saving, a different name is not assigned to the file, Audya will automatically replace the original file with the new one.

If one of the wave files that makes up an MSP file is to be worked on, you will need to press MSP VIEW to display all the associated wave files within the current highlighted MSP, highlight the wave file needed to be worked on (using the cursor up or down buttons or data wheel), and press ENTER to select it, then press WAVE EDIT to work on the selected file in question.
For this feature, we suggest you use the SOLO function in order to avoid the other associated wave files from all playing at the same time (in other words, all the other files will be muted and only the wave file selected will be heard throughout the entire keyboard range).




SAMPLER

(AUDIO RECORDING FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE OR DEVICE)
In the Menu > Audio Recording page, we¡¦ve added a couple of new features called Sampler Rec. Mic. and Sampler Rec. Lin In.
This new feature allows you to record sound directly from either a microphone plugged into the AUDYA¡¦s Mic In jack, or a sound source plugged into the Line in jacks located on the back. Once recording is complete, Audya will automatically go into the Wave Edit mode to allow for modifications and saving of your own sample just recorded.








MIDI DRUM REMIX
AUDYA¡¦s OS version 4.0 also incorporates a MIDI REMIX feature which allows one to replace the original drum tracks of a midifile (usually on track #10 ) with a Drum part of a selected Audya Style (Audio or Midi Drum or Groove) .
Here is an example of how you can create your own MIDI DRUM REMIX replacing the Midi drum track with that from a style (Preset or User styles):

1. From the default screen, press the MIDI button within the Player Section and select a Midi file. [As showed in picture #1 we have select ¡§Raindrops_Keep_Falli.mid¡¨ (whose metronome tempo is 123 BPM ¡V you want to take note of the related BMP of the midifile so as not to select a style whose BMP varies very much from that of the Midifile. This might require you playing the file for a while to see it¡¦s BMP) ].
2. Press REMIX ON (F9) button to activate REMIX ON feature (see Picture # 1).
3. Select your favourite Style whose original BMP (Beats Per Minute ¡K or tempo) is close to that of the Midifile you want to REMIX (15% more or less). If the BPM of the selected style is way greater or less than that of the Midifile, AUDYA will display a warning message informing you to select a more suitable style whose drums will be more compatible with this midifile.
On Picture #2 we selected (for our example) the style
¡§SWING_2¡¨.
By pressing the STYLE VIEW button to display all the style components, and then pressing the DRUM1 (F1) button repeatedly, it¡¦s now possible to replace the current drum kit with either a factory Midi Drum Kit, a factory AUDIO drum or you can also replace it with your own USER AUDIO DRUM (which reside in the USER DRUM Folder of the Audya¡¦s Hard Drive). As you can see in Picture #3 we selected Audio Drum SWING2_120 (120 denotes the original BPM/tempo for this style).
4. Press the USER 5 button (START) to activate the REMIX Feature (this associates the midifile with the drums of the selected style for a couple of seconds).
5. When the association is completed, the START led button will flash denoting it is now possible to play the midi file with your new Audio Drum track .
6. While the REMIXED file is playing, you can also select Arranger A, B, C, D, and also any Fill in the style (as shown in picture #4) to re-arrange the song in real time. Moreover arranger variations can be recorded and played back automatically (see in details Automation Issue below).
7. Press Save to store your own REMIX file while midi file and Remix are running, so that next time you play this REMIXED file, it will automatically use the drums from the current style selected and this process won¡¦t have to be repeated each time.
8. Give a name for your own file, then press Save again. (For further information please refer to the Saving Section).
9. To play the file next time, simply select the REMIX file from disk list by using the Alpha Dial or cursor button. Wait until the RMX file has been loaded - then press the USER 5 button (START).When the led button flashes, press the REMIX button.
Picture#3

Picture #4


In AUDYA¡¦S OS version 4.0, the STYLE and MIDI buttons (located within the User Style/Disk Area shown by Figure #5) have now been activated to control the REMIX feature as such:- they can be used while the Midifile plays to select the drums heard from either the remixed style (STYLE) or the original drums from the initial midifile (MIDI). Moreover, the REMIX function can be linked with a midi file while it is playing. To accomplish this, first select your own midi file - then activate the REMIX function and select your favourite style. You can easily change your style selection while the REMIX plays easily. This is useful as you can now go through various styles as you play to figure out which one best suits your midi file without stopping (For further info please refer to the Tips & Tricks section).

Automation Issue
In order to Save Arranger Variation sequences plus Style and Midi buttons status shown in figure #5 above, you must press the RECORD button while the REMIX function is playing. As you change variations, fill ins/breaks or toggle between the midifile drums and the Audio or Midi drums from the style or User Audio Drums, all event changes will be saved in the Midi file. To complete this procedure, press the SAVE button while the REMIX is still playing with the RECORD button led on. Take note that with this procedure, it¡¦s also possible to record Chord change sequences played to the LEFT of the split point. For further information please read LIVE GUITAR REMIX Part #2 .
HOW TO SAVE YOUR MIDI REMIXED FILE
We add a couple of other options in order to Save a MIDI REMIXED file:
F1¡VStart Bar
F2¡VStop Bar
F6- Save As: Mid-Kmx
F7- RmxGtr

Detailed explanation of each of the new options mentioned above:-
Start Bar and Stop Bar (Picture #6): These bars respectively represent the points within the Midifile at which the STYLE DRUMS (part) will start from (Start Bar) and end at (Stop Bar). NB:- Outside these marker points (Start and Stop bar), the Midi File will play with it¡¦s original Drum part unaltered. So as an example if the original midifile starts at bar 1 and ends at bar 200, and you set the Start Bar=5 and Stop Bar =50, when the midifile starts playing, from bar 1 to 5, you will hear the original Midifile unaltered (i.e. with it¡¦s midi drums), then from bar 5 to 50, you will now automatically here the midifile drums replaced with those of the selected and associated STYLE, and finally from bar 50 to the end of the song (bar 200), the style¡¦s drums will stop and automatically revert to the original midi drums of the midifile ¡V with no further input from the user. If the Start and Stop bar are set to the start and stop points of the entire song, the entire midifile will play with the style drums and the midi drums will be muted througout!
Save As: Allows you to Save your work as one of two file formats:- The first one will be a regular midi file which includes Exclusive messages to play it back with the Remix style parts (as a REMIX). The second one will be renamed as KMX file. This file format is a Ketron proprietary format which includes all information to play a Remix including Style, Transposer, tempo and so on. This file is really useful especially if you want to automatically export all relevant information over to another Audya keyboard and guarantee it¡¦s played properly. Of course all associated resources (Audiodrums, Live guitars,) must be loaded within the other Audya¡¦s Hard Drive too. This is especially useful for musicians who have more than 1 AUDYA at their disposal.
RmxGtr: Live Guitar settings to Save in the global File.




LIVE GUITAR REMIX

In the Midi Remix feature, it¡¦s now possible to add Live Guitars (from a selected style) besides

just the drum parts as previously described above. The Live Guitar¡¦s chords can be played either manually or automatically by Live Guitar REMIX which will derive the harmony chords directly from the midi file and use to automatically change the guitar chords for the midifile .
Live Guitar REMIX mode is set to either (MANUAL) or Automatic (AUTOPLAY) in MENU > KEYBOARD CONTROL > UTILITY (Page #1) -> Remix Live Guitar.
In Manual mode, the User can insert LIVE GUITAR on Midi Remix simply by playing to the Left of the split point of the keyboard while the midi file plays. If set to Autoplay mode (as denoted) Live Guitars will be controlled automatically by the midi file while playing .

How play Live Guitars and associate with a Midifile remix:

Mode 1 - Automatic:
If a Chord (Txt format ) track is built into the Midi file, the Live Guitar will play and automatically change chords with the associated Midifile by simply pressing Menu > KEYBOARD CONTROL > UTILITY(Page #1) >Remix Live Guitar = Autoplay.

CHRD.QUANT:
Here, the Chord Quantize Mode is available. Chord Quantize is really useful to guarantee authentic synchronization for Chord playing with Live Guitar Remix feature.


Mode 2:

Here you could set your own midi track to assign control of the Left Part where the Live Guitars will take their lead from. To do this:-

1. Go to MENU > KEYBOARD CONTROL > UTILITY (Page #1) and set Remix Live Guitar = Autoplay.
2. Next, within the selected Midi File, select the track you want to use to send chord changes for the Live Guitars to follow (parts that use strings or continuous voices are highly recommended over percussive parts like drums or steel drums). Set in the GM PART ¡§Chan TX¡¨ : Left for that channel. Save the Song Set up with F3 flag Part & MIX to On.
3. Now, select your own Style which has a suitable Live Guitar pattern built in to it which you want to assign to the current Midi file. Take note that for many styles, different Live Guitar parts are used in Arranger A, B, C and D so you might want to play around with all and see.
4. Turn the REMIX function - ON (within the Midi Player page selection).
5. When the Midi file starts playing, press the SAVE button to store the Remix feature recorded.
6. Now select once more the midifile just associated with the REMIX and play.

Mode 3:

How to manually record the chord sequence(s) that will be used to trigger the Live Guitar parts when later associated with a midifile (manual chord entry):

1. Go to MENU > KEYBOARD CONTROL > UTILITY (Page #1) and set RemixLiveGuitar = Manual
2. Activate the Remix feature as previously mentioned above.
3. Press the RECORD button while the midifile is playing.
4. Now Play the Chord Sequences to the Left of the split point of the keyboard following the harmony tune of the midifile. The Chord sequences will be record as played and the midifile (once saved in step 5 below) can now be REMIXED with a Live Guitar and the chords will change automatically.
5. Press Save to store all data at the end of the song.


Tips & Tricks:


In order to get the ¡§Best Deal ¡§ between MidiFiles and Styles, first select and play the Midi File in question. Now as it plays, activate the Remix feature - than select a style to link it to !
Keep trying various styles until the best Style is found and keep in mind that the best style part might be in Arranger B, C or D!
Please be aware that associating the Live Guitars at this time won¡¦t be appropriate. You can associate them in the next step.
Once the Audio Drum required is selected (while Drum Remix is playing ) you can now assign your own Live Guitar from a different arranger part of the Style in the Style View Menu and then Save it as usual.
Regardless of the style used (Factory or User) we recommend that once the Remix feature is completed, you should Stop and then Play the midifile once more in order to make sure you created your Remix file correctly.
Of course you could create your own Remix by using User Audio Drums also specifically designed to work with the Remix feature too.

USER LIVE GUITAR

USER LIVE GUITARS have been available in AUDYA as of OS Version 3.0, and are ready to be loaded into RAM/Ins. This feature has now been further enhanced in OS Version 4.0 and is truly more exciting. User Live Guitar are located in the Hard DISK in the USER LIVE GUITAR Folder.

Once you select this folder, the display will now show associated locations to which you can load the Live Guitars to (left of screen) and operating functions (right of screen) along with the User Live Guitars (centre of the screen).
To the left of the display (F1- F4) you can assign 4 available Ins banks from the display centre. To the right of the display, you have access to the following associated features:-


Clear All (F6): Allows one to clear all User live Guitar data previously loaded into memory.
Load GTR (F7): Loads the highlighted User Live Guitar.
Save SEL (F8): This function creates a file with the GBK extension (Guitar Bank) which like a RBK file consists of the single User Live Guitars currently selected. This file can also be assigned as an Autoloaded file which will automatically load these selected guitars whenever AUDYA is turned on. Remember, you loose these guitar sounds whenever the machine is off.
A.Load On/Off (F9): When you turn on Audya, should it automatically load the *.GBK file which loads it¡¦s associated Live Guitars (A.Load - on) or not (A.Load - off)?
GTR Disable/Enable (F10): Enable or Disable User Live Guitar (if you enable this function we recommend saving this within the Custom Startup so it is not repeated each time the Audya is turned on.

Single User Live Guitars can be loaded by simply selecting your own file and than pressing Load GTR (F7) or Enter. Up to 4 User Live Guitar can be loaded at the same time. Once the loading process has been completed, you can then enable the User Live Guitar (F10) so as to play the set by pressing the F10 button (GTR Enable).


In order to Clear or empty the entire User Live Guitar memory (all loaded guitars), press the Clear All (F6) button. To clear a single User Live Guitar loaded in memory (Guitar Group), press either ( F1-F2-F3-F4 ) associated with the sound you want to delete.

Once a User Live Guitar has been loaded, you can then add this to any selected style and use, by substituting Chord 5. To accomplish this, exit from the Disk menu and select a Style. Press the ¡§View¡¨ button to display the various style parts.

Chord 5 (Ch 5) once again may be used to assign (as previously known) a Midi track, a Live Guitar, an Apr&Lick and now ¡K. a User Live Guitar! By repeatedly pressing Chord 5 (F10) until ¡§Live Ins¡¨ is displayed as pictured below ...


¡K you can now use the Data value wheel to scroll through the User Live Guitars you¡¦ve just loaded. You can also freely edit all other style parts and save the new style with your current changes as usual.
NB:- With this new feature, when next you select this style, Audya will automatically load the related User Live Guitar sample(s) if they have not been loaded before.

This would drive me nuts also when I had my SD-1...certain Ketron factory styles had tempo parameters that wouldn't allow you to go higher or lower thresholds ....but with some unique editing in EMC styleworks I was able to make changes to suit my needs.

As you know, SD1 had audio "live " drum tracks. There is a certain point that audio does not sound musically correct. That is why there are tempo thresholds. I have never played a style at 40 bpm's or 180bpm. I think the slowest I have ever played a style is 58bpm.

I thought you'd mentioned 'last question' above

As for the hardware, yes. Remember Audya 4 and 5 come with the 16 Multi-tabs which are not available on AUDYA.

However the new sounds and styles dedicated to OS4.0 will work on current AUDYA products perfectly (for which this OS was initially designed for). AUDYA 4 and 5 will be shipped out with OS4.0 already as standard/initial OS.

Thanks,

AJ

The multi-tabs are a row of 16 buttons, all assignable to control various parameters, such as banks of registrations, sounds, and a lot more.
The SD5 has them also.
