I respect your opinion but ask 1 thing

Please post a better sounding demo from a better sounding arranger, no matter what the price $500-$5,000

I await the enlightenment

Thanks

You are right Midden, Thats why I was giving FransN the opportunity to explain herself. wink

Maybe she thinks the studio could have recorded a real drummer instead...hey wait..these are recordings of a real drummer.

Or maybe she thinks the MIDI drums of a PA600 would sound better than real drums for this kind of music?

Who knows??

She is a he. I just said my opinion. That's all. Ketron is not my thing.

opinions are just that, until they can be backed up by FACTS...

Is the T4 your thing?
the PA3X?
the G-70?

if not, then it's ARRANGERS in general that's not your thing,
and therefore you are voicing your opinion in the wrong forum.

i think there are LOTS of people here that think the Audya is awesome, as are these demos,
but of course many are too proud to admit it, or just too dedicated to their brand

and for anyone to say that the demos posted are not impressive, (for an ARRANGER keyboard) especially 1st demo,
well that's just insane,

just my $0.02

to each his own,

The thing that puts me off the Ketron is the scarcity of styles like this. According to the Audya's specs, there are TWO audio reggae styles. I guess this is one of them. That don't leave much over if you do a fair bit of reggae...

For the odd recording project, all is good. But go out live, and do more than two or three reggae songs, and the audience will rapidly know you are using the same style over and over...

The problem the Audya has, is that equivalent styles to what is contained on-board can be made with Midi using VSTi as their sound source, as well as giving the user the flexibility to edit and create new styles for their own purpose, thus it would have been more sensible if Ketron had created an arranger that came with these type of sounds as standard, rather than the limited versions of audio. (It’s this limitation that puts a lot of users off getting one)

In addition many of the other sounds on the instrument while good fall behind a lot of other manufactures factory sounds, which is another disincentive. (Styles on their own (No matter how good) are not much use as they are just too repetitive whether audio or Midi)

If the Audya does what you want then it’s great, however it is not universal therefore it cannot be the best, only one of.

I do love a challenge

The second style is from the Pa600 (Modern Beat) both recorded side by side on the Zoom R16 (separate tracks and faded in and out). Sorry no vocals didn't have time LOL

A touch of EQ on the Pa600 and to my ears albeit old ones there is not a great deal of difference.

Long live Korg £800 Vs £4500 rocker
