Hey Ketroners!
Any news about MIDJPRO, maybe prices,demos...?
Vio

I'm also eagerly waiting for that versatile, all in one music module.

I've got 3 dealers on the lookout for me about this, and the sd1000. No news....

the MIDJPRO will be released alongside the AudyaPlus

At least Ketron should post few demos...!

i think Tony is gonna buy a few of these when they come out...

Autumn 2013 is the estimated release date.

REALLY?

they introduce a product and only release it over a year later?
that's crazy

they should learn from Apple, reveal it and release it immediately...

Leezone,


It's only history repeating itself, do you remember that far back that's what happened to the Audya1, it was so they got get it right first time and have no come backs, ask Skude if they got it right and the delay was justified, don't think he will agree.

And AudyaPlus, it would look nice on the front panel Logo but Italy is broke big style, maybe Ketron have used your money wisely, invested it in PR and development, who knows maybe they have got the message, maybe not, hang on in there Leezone why change a time honoured tradition of yours.

Your best mate Tony from the real World

starting to get a bit trolly in here.

I don't see the problem with a company showing their concepts or what they are working on, it makes for an interesting exhibition and probably why the music industry exhibitions are dying...why pay to go to a show only to see what is already available? The car industry has been doing the same as Ketron for years, some make it to production others don't. It allows the company to gauge public response and act accordingly.

Tony

when you say "invested it in PR"

do you mean Puerto Rico ?

Leezone,

That would be nearer to you than Italy if you need yours repairing, the way the Euros is going Italy might have to close it's doors and shut up shop you will be glad if they open up in PR.

I love having fun with you Leezone, I know it's only fun,

Tony

... I don't agree.

1.) You can not compare the car industry with a keyboard producer
2.) Does Korg, Roland or Yamaha the same - no, they do not? When they
presenting something on a fair, the availability is not far away

I'm working in product development more than 20 years and there is only one way
to go to avoid all this boring discussions on availability:

"If you are not able to release the product within 3-6 months after presenting it
on a exhibition then do not show it - simple and easy"

Joe

Why Not?

and that's relevant because?

I do get your point and agree in some respects, Hammond always did the same as Ketron and it caused some problems amongst the retired home users. However the proline instruments (the new B3 and XK series for example) caused significant interest and by the time the products were ready it was very easy to sell them from release. It also stopped customers who were thinking of a change jumping ship

Ketron, like Hammond, are primarily supplying instruments for the pro market. Current MidJay owners are not unhappy with their instruments but now have time to think about what might be their next equipment and how they could fit the new technology into their setups. Ketron have the time to adapt it as requests and ideas come in.

But there is no wrong or right way of proceeding, it obviously works for Ketron as they have been doing this for years, and ok, it might cause annoyance among a handful of customers (particuarly this very odd corner of the internet that is the Synthzone arranger forum), but by the time new products hit the market everyone will know about them with very little effort on Ketron's part.

Ha Ha Leezone your name in lights hanging around an odd corner...

Nice cuppa tea for me...

Any or sign of MidjPro prior to autumn release? Any hints also on the estimated price?

When I asked one of the Company Directors last month they said Autumn 2013 and they had not fixed a price either.
