Now thats an Update WOW!!!! .......
great job AJ...all Ketron Audya owners Merry Xmas!!

Dnj,

Compliments to Ketron (Italy) for OS and including optional RAM now as standard. A great Christmas gift....

Thanks,

AJ

Hi all,
Can I install this new software via an iMac computer? Cheers, Ky

No, you will need to transfer only the .mem file to the audya's root directory. send me a Private Message with your email address and version of audya. Darren

My hat off ONCE AGAIN to ketron!!! They keep on keeping on improving their product. I am as elated as ever about my Audya. It just keeps on getting better... The ease with which style modelling is achieved is just beyond description. It is even easier than copy & paste - I really mean this. And there are now HUGE libraries to choose from... If ANY track in ANY part of the style sounds rather thinnish, simply replace it on the fly with an audio part!!! Then save it either as a new style or as a registry, leaving the original style completely intact. I hardly use any style anymore as is. I can write pages about this single, stunning feature alone!!! It still does not seize to amaze me, even on a daily basis. I am super inspired every time I turn it on. I can take any purely midi style & turn it into something AMAZING in the blink of an eye.

I have now already motivated two Tyros 4 owners to purchase Audyas. Both state that their Yamahas now sounds "midi" like in comparison. I will not bash any other product. I state this purely as proof that my enthusiasm is not mine alone...

And then, if I should even get started again on my AJAMSONIC upgrade... I'm sill blown away by it. I never knew this much could be had on a single arranger - but YES, it CAN!!!

Yes, it does not come cheap. But once one realizes that a single arranger does it all, it becomes much cheaper indeed!!!

Thank you Ketron, Robert & AJ, amongst others, for this really, but really AMAZING product!!!

Is there enough difference in 4.2C and 5.0 to bother with ?

AJ,

How's the Audya Sales in the USA, is there anything new on the horizon with Ketron, Italian finances in a real mess, doubt if there is any confidence out there, maybe Yamaha will be the first to bring out a new AKB, you don't see many new demos with the Audya on YouTube.

Tony

Goodness me...its Tony!

hey it's Tony,

nice to hear your optimistic posts lol

the only thing i would LOVE is for Audya to step up the RAM, (memory) to 2GB

otherwise, i'm LOVING it and appreciate the updates
it's a good sign that the company is still looking out for its customers
