These are exclusive to the AUDYA series with the AJAMSONIC upgrade coming out soon......

Here is another enjoy!

Very nice!
The new Midjay Pro is finally for sale here in Italy, but the first reports by actual users are kind of depressing: after a delay of two years in the release it's still bug-ridden, so a second hand (but mint) Audya 4 looks the way to go, to get the Ketron sound.

My Audya 4 is for sale... but then its being repaired currently in Itally, its the 4th time i had to send it back... Sure its still under guarantee and for free, but missing your ketron 2 or 3 months every time its send for repairs just socks big time..

On top of that,,, the solo voices are in my opinion less dynamic then the current sounds of Yamaha and Korg..

The styles however are top notch... audio styles are great, tough they are much harder to eddit then midi styles..

That why I sold mine, just dreaded it not booting up one day and there were some embedded problems in memory, don't know why Ketron don't try their hand at something like the MS, its Italy you can do what you want. Its a great pity just listen to that piano sound brilliant, it will always have its followers and it is way cheaper than a Tyros 5 if you buy it from Germany, only about £3000., but you won't get the backing of a Yamaha KB Ketron don't have the clout. Sad to hear about your Audya

With the AJAMSONIC upgrade installed in your AUDYA product or retrofit kit in your existing Ketron product - (currently being expanded to other manufacturers as well), your unit will always power on ... and if it doesn't (like any other electronic device is capable of doing), we will stand by you and make sure it does.

It's more about the services and product support we offer than the new features, fixes, sounds and styles. People come first!

Have a Happy new year and keep watching over the horizon for 2014 brings 'new' and good stuff!!

Thanks.

AJ, I voich for your superb service. I wish all who've received your help or support would make it known. I personally know of quite a few...

As for the audii styles, they are much, much easier to edit than midi styles. I am becoming an expert in it. If I find any outstanding variation in any style, i copy it to all four variations. Then I start browsing in new parts to the other variatiins and save it as a new style. The results are truly amazing an can be done in just a moment.

The demos sound fantastic, AJ...nice work.

All the best for you in the upcoming year.

Ian

So how do you alter the reverb on the snare drum or replace it with a different snare drum or indeed change the volume of an individual drum sound (Same applies to other instruments) in an audio style. (The above being a piece of cake in a Midi style)

Happy New Year

Bill

Using Audio does have it's limitations such as not being able to alter reverb, volume or else on an individual component within the AUDIO drums, AUDIO bass or AUDIO guitar tracks that are used in conjunction with Midi data for a style (for this, you have to rely on what's provided). The Drum 2 (percussion or Groove) track together with the Chords 1-4 tracks (Midi based) do retain this possibility. However, you are able to make such edits to the entire track (e.g Drums, Bass, Guitars).

Now - for the Audio tracks, limited editing such as applying EQ to specific frequencies, adjusting the overall volume of the individual Audio tracks or replacing them instantly with other audio tracks of your choise is available and possible (through AUDYA's AUDIO MODELLING).

We are also working on making the AUDIO DRUMS available as a super midi Drum kit (mapped accross the keyboard with a GM map) which will allow you to now have the maximum editing capabilities (including all those listed above) with a great Drum kit that rivals those available with VSTs. This will now not only allow you enjoy the editing power of midi AND the authenticity and quality of audio ... in one keyboard, but also create and use your own 'groove'/Drum Arrangement with Styles or Midifiles!

Midi or Audio individually doesn't quite cut it with the demands of today's music, but our HYBRID is as pretty close to the real thing as you can get.

Have a wonderful new year 2014 and for all those who have supported us in 2013, a special thank you and 'bonus' comes your way!

Thanks.

I wouldn't be selling my Audya, it still has cutting edge sound, and the AJSonic upgrade in particular the SSD which I am shortly to upgrade with is worth every penny.

Thanks AJ for your great service, and lets all have a fantastic 2014

What Robbo said

Ian,
Happy new year to you too. Just returned from your neck of the woods (Hamilton Canada) for a 3 days Christmas break with the family. How far are you from there? Also went to Toronto for about 7 hours ... Checking out the Canadian Arranger waters!. What a drive!

Thanks.

Take a good look at how ReCycle used to do audio loops... It would slice them, then give each slice its own MIDI note, so the MIDI file 'played' the loop, and this allowed you to do easy editing to reorder it if you wanted to mess with the groove.

But the icing on the cake was, it would take the last bit of the slice and timestretch it a bit, somehow... This allowed you to slow down the slices without gaps appearing in the sound. But something that needs to be thought about is, what do you do if you want TWO slices on any particular beat? No problem for a sampler or computer... just play them both. But if any system can't do this, you are going to have problems.

ReCycle was the granddaddy of loop slice and manipulation tools, and still to this day can do things few others can quite pull off. Give it a close look if you are considering allowing users to edit audio loops in the Ketron's....

I'm quite a ways from Hamilton AJ...Cape Breton Island is off the east coast of Nova Scotia, so it's quite a drive, especially this time of year.

As far as I know, Quebec is Canada's most arranger friendly province...it was where we sold the most Electone organs back in the day, too.

There are also more white grand pianos sold there than anywhere else in Canada...a bit of useless trivia...ha ha!

Ian

Is this camouflage, so they don't get attacked by polar bears? LOL

Ian

Diki,

Thanks for the 'tip' on managing the Audio. That is exactly how the X1 and the SD1/SD1 Plus handled it. It's the Midi notes that controlled the 'arrangement' of the sliced audio parts, thus you could go in and edit just the conga or snare or .... etc...

Ian ... had I made that drive on to where you're at, maybe the car would have arrived ... just without it's driver :-)

Thanks guys ....

THANKS!!

nice job sounds terrific...eventually will EVERY Audya style be reworked and incorporated into the AJAMSONIC Upgrade.

Donny,

If you get the AjamSonic package installed in any Audya series product, they are already ... which is the point ...plus the product support you get with it.

Thanks,

Thanx AJ.....I remember discussing the AJsonic idea in its infancy at the lab years ago,...now it's a reality wish you good luck with it. maybe another road trip is in order..

Yes Donny ... it's ideas like yours and a couple of others on and off this forum ... plus 'things' I as a keyboard player have always loved to have in just one keyboard - that have now made this dream come true!

As an Engineer, the future has sudenly become .... the present!

Hi all,

Just listened to the demos of the AJAMSONIC version 3 upgrade for the AUDYA. Really, but really looking forward to it.

Sokratis, you should really rather attach your new demos here as downloadable MP3 files!

Keep well all,

Henni
