This style (if not loaded before) will automatically load any associated Choir/RAM voice.


Hi AJ,

Would it in this case load the correct voice, or will it once again load whatever resides in that specific memory location?

Kind regards,

Henni

Ofcourse with the pre-load, you have to wait a few seconds to play the style ... which is why I still suggest keeping the AUTOLOAD on at the begining where all relative AUDIO/SOUND parts are loaded so whenever you select a style, you can now INSTANTLY play it (as is the case with any other arranger) and not wait for any loading ...

However the only downside to this method is ... you have no way of knowing the % of memory left so if your RAM is already getting full (with all the AJAMSONIC voices already pre-loaded) and you now go to select a style which requires an extra voice whose size is larger than that left in RAM ....

We're working on another solution for this...but ideally the 1GB memory suggestion on the table seems best - where with the back up battery, you pre-load these voices only once and they are there each time the machine is powered on.

We will see :-)

Play a voice, let Audya add charterization automatically suited for that voice, like human breath, guitar slides, run ups/downs, key off sampling notes, eliminate attack on legato notes where applicable...etc. Control vibrato by pressing harder on keys when "Aftertouch" lights up automatically or press harder for bends or press 2 notes and hear a 2nd instrument play harmony (DUET) or...simply play.

Grand & Grand2
Sound & effects through the entire keyboard range - and not just in the center octaves!

Latino, Grand Paras & Grand Pizza
Great "synth" effect when key is held down for a period

Space piano & Vopiano
Piano sound with human vocals attached

Grand, Pad & Grand Mando
Heavy acoustic piano sound

Spark_FM & Elect_HM
Sounds like thev real thing!

Spark_Eden, Sparklight & Trans Seq
Electric synth piano with great effects

Steel+FX
New steel drum with effects!

Organ Morph, B3-Special & Tibia Organ
New organs with rich sounds & new rotor slow & fast speeds

Celeste & Harmonica
Playing hard or soft adds character (VCE-2) to the new tones in this category

Nylon, Stereo Gtr, Distor SFX & African Gtr
New clean authentic samples. Play hard & automatically add bend notes, tap & fret noises. No extra key needed to press to activate VCE-2: Audya works for you!

Vintage Amp, Rocks, Strato & Hard Rock
Analog vintage amp sound included (in vintage amp sound)

String Fall
Play hard & add bending notes to sound

Voice1, Acapella_1, Acapella_2, Acapella_3, You Dreamer, Ahh, Hey, You Delayed, Hey Panned, Ahh You & Latin Vocals
New choir voices sampled from boys & girls together with a new breath_taking achapella (from Italy)

Brass Shake, BBand and Modl, Brass B&S, Trumpets, Mute Trumpet, Shake Brass & Horns
The brass sounds have all been re-done with authenticity added by real musicians. Play hard & add bends. Play very soft and add "roll off" notes. Release a note & instantly play another, and hear VCE-2 kick in

Blowtner U, Alto Sax D, Growl Sax, Altosoft D & Clarinet B
New sax recorded by actual saxophone players...as they played. Release notes & hear "roll off". play hard & hear notes bend "up". Play soft & when you release, saxophone player takes a breath!

Irish Acts, Irish Air, Nylo Flute & Flute Above
New Irish flutes with VCE-2 as you play hard & soft.

Space Gtrs, Movie, Quiet Pad, On Synth, In Space, Paris_112, Gold, Moments, Pizza_112, Renovation, Nylopad, Pad, 2X(MORPH), (MORPH) SP, Softarp_HM & Phatty Pad
A whole new category. Rich sounds with the intend to move DANCE, MODERN end users. Rich layers of sounds with crossfading, morphing...etc - now with ARPS ready to be syncronized to your style/Midifile!

Buzzer, Reverse_it, Dazzy, Heaven Up, Eden, Jitters, Hook, Punch, Hook &, Spin About, Bubble, Press Hard & Disco
A whole new category of rich synth sounds. Here we listened to our customers & gave them a boost in one of Audya's weakest areas. Now sound like a poweful Synth Workstation with a press of a button!

Hi everyone,

Some important additional Audya info. I did not have my facts completely right. She can do more than initially anticipated.

I use "STYLE MODELLING" a LOT!!! It is awesome what can be achieved by it & it is a breeze to accomplish, even on the fly. When done, save either as a new style or simply as a new registry. I prefer the last. However, the choice is yours.

Keep well all my friends,

Henni

When you select a style that you like and want to make modifications to it by adding these, simply press STYLE VIEW which will display the style's components (Drums, Bass, Chords ... etc).

* Press F4 (Chord 4) quickly twice to toggle between the Midi chord part programmed within the style and the ARP&Lick table provided by Ketron which can be inserted in this style to replace the Midi part.

* Play the style and use the Data wheel to now go through the various ARP&Licks currently available.

* When satisfied with a selection, repeat for all the other ARRANGER PARTS (A-D), then press SAVE and save your new style (it will be saved under the same group - but in the USER STYLE folder, so when next you want to play this modified FACTORY style (or any style you load into the machine), press the USER STYLE button first! This preserves the FACTORY styles.

This and a lot more is clearly illustrated in our 3+Hrs DVD tutorial manual so you can see and hear how it's done and the effects it has on your over-all sound/music!

This (STYLE MODELLING) can also be applied to :-

* DRUMS (F1) - Midi, Factory AUDIO or USER AUDIO Drums
* GROOVE (F2) - Midi Drum Kits, GROOVES or Percussion
* BASS (F3) - BASS BANK or style's MIDI Bass
* Chord 1 (F6) - PIANO BANK or style's MIDI part
* Chord 2 (F7) - GUITAR BANK 1 or style's MIDI part
* Chord 3 (F8) - GUITAR BANK 2 or style's MIDI part
* Chord 4 (F9) - ARPS & LICKS BANK or style's MIDI part
* Chord 5 (F10) - LIVE Guitar or style's MIDI part

Hope this helps...

Firstly, here's the link again:

http://createsongstyles.com/

Yes & no. There are many, many styles from other Ketron products that plays perfectly well as is on the Audya - they need NO tweaking. But there are also many styles from other products that have been converted. They play reasonably well on the Audya, but definitely needs some tweaking to play well.

I'd estimate this to be half/half. You'll find close to if not more than 20 000 (yes, twenty thousand!) extra styles specifically for your Audya over there. Ron hosts styles for all brands of arrangers, not exclusively for the Audya. But that many are available for the Audya alone.

The biggest bonus for those in the gigging business is that Ron uploads song specific styles on a daily basis with reference to the original song. They are Audya specific & needs no tweaking. You'll find the style, the registry file, the midi, the words & the link to the original song for almost each one of those. Gigging has never been made easier!!!

If you are not registered, you can freely browse over there and see what's available. You will just not find the links to the downloads, that's all. One of the best sites for resources I've found to this date...

Tip: If you sort your view to the number of uploads, you'll be able to download the Mega uploads first of all...

Keep well all my friends,

Henni

To access these styles, I have to use the "Disk" function. They can only be accessed using the built in explorer and they should be accessed like you do with any other file using explorer. Just click on the style and it will become active.

The other way is to unzip those styles, copy each style (not with it's directory, but the style only) seperately under the various existing directories under your "user styles". You cannot sort by genre, as it would we impossible to know for all of them. But you can spread them evenly between those directories. In this way, you can access them in the normal way, using the "user" button for each style section. I initially did it this way, but it becomes all too messy too soon and later on it is hard to know which original styles originally belonged to each directory. If you choose this way, Ketron has a complete description on their Website on how to do this, however, I do not recommend this method. There are far too many new styles.

If I was you, I'd create a seperate directory and copy all your new directories in there. If you then later access a style via the "Disk" function & you edit it, you can always save in one of the normal original genre directories.

I hope you can understand the above my friend. All the best,

Henni

It is just possible that the first styles you've tried are some of those.

Note that some directories listed i.e Sokratis is just used to store stuff that I intend to use later. All of his stuff work properly as intended. Please do not be confused by my list.

Keep well my friends,

Henni


Note to all: CreateSongstyles is a style sharing forum. They do not claim making conversions for the Audya, they just make available to all what is being donated to them. Therefor no big deal if some do not work. There are many, many, many thousands that do work, well worth the small contribution required.

I had to go through ALL of hem one by one to find which ones do not work. The directories listed contain some styles that do not play. Most other styles in those directories do play properly. Thus I've already saved you an enormous amount of work by pointing out where to find the culprit styles.

I can go one step further & list the specific styles in each directory that do not work, but that will take much too long, & too many pics to be uploaded over here. Thus I've pointed the way, the rest you can find for yourself. Unfortunately I cannot re-distribute these styles.

I'm sure that some with the right software will get most of those to work in the end.

Please do not be confused: Some directories over there are purely for storing stuff like i.e "Sokratis" & "ABANDA". It does not mean that this stuff does not work as intended.
