Awesome sounds for sure, and didn't even hear the great drums.
Look how awkward it is to use the mod and pb wheels though. Too far a reach.
Joystick on other models is a big improvement.

That, perhaps, and the Leslie sim, where I use the Neo Ventilator. making it the only board to beat out the Pa4X. Of coarse, we are speaking of sounds only, including styles.

Indeed, the best realistic sounds/styles are Ketron's, IMHO.

Not so fast.. wink

The Audya was an exceptional keyboard in its heyday but times change and technology continues to advance and there are better options today in my opinion. The video below is the Yamaha Genos with its 256 note polyphony vs. the Audya's 192 note polyphony. The Genos also has a USB 2.0 interface vs. the Audya's USB 1.1. The Genos also has 58 GB of flash memory (ssd) whereas the Audya simply has a mechanical hard drive. The Audya still costs $5,000 from what I understand whereas you can get a Genos for the same price as a Korg Pa4x if you know where to shop. The Audya acoustic Grand Piano is okay but the Genos is a step up in my opinion. Overall I think the Genos (and for that matter the Korg Pa4x also) sound better than the Audya but that's just me. To each his own right Fran? cool Don't get me wrong. The Audya is still a nice keyboard but Ketron really needs to step up to the plate and provide a worthy successor if you know what I mean. Still sounds pretty good though. And Ketron continues to provide updates from what I understand too so that's nice. The Genos is hands down the better arranger in my opinion. Again, to each his own. I probably won't change Fran's mind though. G-1000 anyone? Just kidding. laugh

All the best,

Mike

I went to an AJ demo session when the SD7 came out... and it was clear the Audya sound was superior to the SD7..
The special ram sounds in the SD7 were great and on par with Audya , but there were only about 40 sounds..

Again I will pass on what AJ told me the SD series is not the Audya replacement..
