Belly up, closed up bottom line they are all gone!! But,
I'm happy with whats left on the market regarding arrangers.

Hi all,

I've read for a fact that they are working on a newer version of the Audya. I am totally convinced that soon they'll come out with something ground breaking & stunning once again.

No, the Audya is far from dead. Did you notice what AJ is up to? Unbelievable the quality of the stuff he creates for it...

Cheers,

Henni

Aside from the Audya having the best live sound, with Korg probably second, one has to go into it a bit to fully appreciate it's features. Some say that it falls behind in lead sounds; maybe, but when taken as a whole, with it's super effects, it beats the other 20 or so keyboards I have had. With AJ's upgrade,it just got better.

I am sure the newer batches of Audya are more bug free than some originals, and this hurt their reputation, along with meager support and marketing. I was lucky-never a problem.

OTH, I still prefer My KN7000, S910, or vArranger for more subdued dinners or NH venues.

Hi Tony,

That's quite a substantial drop in price although I don't know if I would still purchase a Ketron again after the bad luck I had with the X1 in the past (I must have been unlucky with Ketron's and GEM's as their keyboards both went wrong on me).

On the other hand, the Audya does sound incredible and at the time when I was looking to change from my PA1X it was a tough choice between the Audya or the Tyros3. I am glad I went with the T3 (and now T4) because I think for the music I play it's more suitable with it's mellow soft and polished sound. I never gig so the live sound would have probably been too overwhelming. In fact, I think the PA900 can sound both mellow and live so I guess I can make up for it that way!
