Ian,
when did the AUDYA 4/5 release?

I don't know the answer to that one, Lee, as the Audya, and Ketron itself, is somewhat of an enigma in my territory...I'll probably never get a chance to play one, and from what I have been reading here, it still needs to be fine tuned in some areas.

I'm supposing the Audya 4/5 is a new model and what you are waiting for?

Again, I'll be interested in your review, should you ever find your way to buy one.

Ian

Jealousy really deteriorate the brain eh? Sorry but Yamaha has made a believer out of me....all else can catch up whenever if at all.

In a MOTL keyboard???

BTW, these great styles have been around for months. Maybe they've polished them up, I'll have to listen to the demo. I've owned these styles for months now.

Unless its a 76 note version...no interest here I'm afraid

Dennis

I think it's been proven year after year & Yamaha research knows a 76 in an arranger is not needed. They are miles ahead of the competition in arranger sales worldwide.....they know what they are doing for sure.

Donny, I am not disputing, nor disagreeing either, that for one moment

I just saying if there is no 76 model, no interest from me is all

Dennis

I believe it will be TOTL, Larry, and 61 notes, so the "76 crowd" can look elsewhere, and not wait with bated breath.

The S910 is selling very well, and I must say, it is so good, and such a joy to play, I don't really hanker after a Tyros3, and that's sayin' somethin'.

Ian

A quality 76 keybed could make all the difference in the world...till then..I am with Dennis....no interest at all..

Put a great 76 keybed on a Tyros type instrument and a street price of $2,000..and I might be a canidate to buy one..

Maybe I could learn to live with the drums and the XG wave table.........nah...maybe not..

Hi Dnj, I think you've summed it up very well, I fully agree with you, the current crop of styles on the Yamaha are fantastic and very attractive, it just urges you to play.

You mentioned the next Yamaha TOTL keyboard, I can't see how much better it can get! I hope they don't tamper or experiment too much with what they already have, I wouldn't like to see things change so drastically. Also, I wouldn't like to see it go the Audio route either because then it would be just too expensive to afford, I think that would be the wrong way to go especially when they don't need to.
