None of them..

Ketron never replaces instruments but allways adds more instruments to their collection....old instruments only leave their offerings when out of stock..

where the SD40, is the SD7's arranger
the SD90 is the SD9 pro's arranger.

i think the SD9 is their current top of the line arranger.
Where the Audya is their older top of the line arranger.

they will not say at Ketron that the SD9 is the replacement of the Audya as long as they have audya's in stock...

SD9 vs SD7
-launchpad feature
-Possible future sampler
-More sounds
-sample memmory
-More DSP
-More advanced audio styles with live guitars and such

SD90 vs SD40
-More accesible interface
-larger and 3.5kg vs 2 kg


Audya vs SD9
-I would love to know what features the Audya has to offer that are not on the SD9 series..

Hello to Ketron's community. I am a Ketron user many years ago and I am working with Audya 4. For me it is the best arranger keyboard (module) I have ever use. But I am very disappointed from Ketron. Why they don't give to Ketron users the opportunity to create their own ins drum samples? And more over the ability to create guitar loops that can synchronize with audio styles? I know there is a sound card named "atmel sam9708 pci-08 dk" that can create ins samples with Ketron's software. Why they don't sell to users this card with the software, so users can create ins samples? Ketron must do something quiply to make users trust it again, because most users are disappointed and go to other keyboards companies. Ketron do something...

"atmel sam9708 pci-08 dk" is probably 30 years old, lol
seriously, the Audya, and Ketron in general, needs an overhaul in technology, OS, CPU, HD, RAM etc

no reason we should have such limited space RAM/ROM etc. in the year 2018

Ketron needs to invest in some top engineers

or maybe just team up with the big boys!!, Roland, Yamaha, Korg

Ketron’s hardware isn’t any older then whats inside the pa4x or Genos... they also still use old hardware based on 20 year old designs..

How many hardware limmitations of the Genos do you want to hear?

thanks, bummer, because i need to create and load new audio guitars, and if only Ketron can do this, then what's the use?

Sokratis, howz yor Genos these days?
also, did you ever play the SD9?

Leezone...
I think is too bad that Ketron not give the possibilitie is users to create User Audio Guitars...I agree...
The Genos is realy amazing Arranger/Workstation...
Very Big Sound!!!... All the sounds its realy amazing!!!...
The sound design is really TOP!!!....
The 32bit new DA Convertors its very clean with more dynamic sound!!..
The styles its very good however not all (in my opinion)...
Top Styles In Genos I think is All the Jazz, Styles with very Special orchestration, but of course exist too many top quality Styles from other categories...
Its very different machine than Ketron, Korg etc...
The only thing I am missing from Ketron (Audya), is the Audio Guitars...
However I am very happy, becouse I can to customize like I want....
Now with SD9...
Yes I have played the SD9 of a friend of mine that has the Audya4 also..
The SD9 its a very good Arranger but I like more the Audya on sound...
However the possibilities of SD9 like Audio Drums with two Variations in every Variation (total 8 Variations), New Audio Guitar Riff very good, new very good Audio Percussions Grooves, User Modeling (like user Midi Files Riff,s on Style Modeling, 5 Chord chanels and different chanel for Audio Guitar (total 6), and of course the LAUNCHPAD is a good way for SD9...
The design of SD9 sounds, is good but not all...
The New Audio Styles of SD9, is very good!!!...
However my opinion is the sound is not exactly like Audya...
My friend also has the same opinion...
I won't easily return to using Ketron...

AJ,

can you comment on sound difference of AUDYA vs SD9?
I'm not talking about one having more grooves, or more audio guitars, or more styles, or more sounds etc.

I am talking about the overall sound of the keyboard,
The overall "punch" or live sound of both keyboards.

Why is it they sound different?
SD9 to me sounds more artificial, more"canned" like a Korg :-)
