New pen drive

Hi,

Does the new sound and style update contain the previous package sound and style contents?
Or should I purchase the first one and then the second one to have both package content in my audya?

An interesting question indeed. One assumes (I know!) that you would have to buy the previous drive to get the bonuses contained within.

what i would like to know, would be will the new pen drive change any of those bonuses from that previous pen drive?

If you carefully read the installation guide, you get the answere:

This update can only be installed if the keyboard is equipped with the last generation instruments and if it is updated to version 4.1B or higher.

Joe

You can have a 4.1B version on your keyboard without the sound and style upgrade. So for me the question is till open.

OK, I understand, it is not really clear. Today I got my new pen drive 2011 - it is currently installing. When I look to the German translation, the same sentence as written in English, but additionally in brackets - now translated

"(i.e. the sound upgrade via USB stick must be installed - available since 2010)"

So it seems, that this is a pre - condition.

Joe

how do we know FOR SURE, that our AUDYA's 4/5 are ready for this new pen update? (as it seems we can have 4.1b without latest sounds, etc...

what particular file/sound/style can we look for that would CONFIRM we have what's necessary for this 2011 pen? anyone? AJ?

i think PEN should look for all prerequisites BEFORE installing anything, as Windows and many programs do and give a message like "sorry, you need to have xxxx installed PRIOR to this installation.

or other way would be for this to be self-contained, have old and new pen updates already....

Wo hast Du den denn her ? Ketron - Wagner ist doch in Urlaub

For the english guys : I just wanted to know where Joe got it from in Germany

I got it from the Rock Shop in Karlsruhe.

Leezone,

I think it is only concerning the Audya with 76 Keys. That is what is mentioned on the header of that note.

"Important notice for owners of Audya keyboards with 76 keys"

Joe

so ALL AUDYA 4's and 5's already cam e preloaded with the 2010 "old" PEN stuff?

i have an AUDYA4 with 4.1b, but not sure if the older pen (which i think is required) is there.


thanks

I just ordered it there online , thanks for the info

I guess yes. Maybe it is a help if you go to the Ketron Italy homepage and look to the technical table of the 2010 Pen upgrade. So if you e.g. have styles like BRASSY_FOX, ROMANTIC_FOX or SMOOTH_FOX in the swing section or if you have this VCE sounds (the Sax where you can here the breathing etc.) then you have this upgrade already from factory as this voices and styles were not part of earlier versions.

Joe

Hello,

Go to Sound-group "Piano".
When the first sound on display is "Concert-Piano", you already got the older Pen-Drive installed.

Regards,

Tommy.

Robbo,

just saw that you are from Ballarat. Nice place to be. Was at least 3 times there when my mother lived in the area of Melbourne. But now they have moved up to the Gold Coast and so the chance is only little to visit Ballarat again.

Cheers

Joe

Concert piano? Great
thanks. I will look for that

just out of curiosity
what was the sound called located there prior to that? Pre- pen 2010?

Hi Joe0710, mmmm the gold coast much warmer than here at the moment I can tell you. The Sumnmer here if we get one this year, will be great and autumn here is always beautiful. I still like the warmer climates though.

Good talkin to you, I wish that Pen Drive for the Audya would turn up here in Aussie Land?

Just installed the new Pen Drive on my Audya 76 - I already had OS 4.2b loaded so the procedure was completely automatic and trouble-free. Good new styles - will take a little time to hear all the changes but very good so far.
Still hankering after loads more styles though - the Audya must have such potential for a huge style library?? Hardly dare mention AJAM since AJ seems to have gone to ground????? Carl

Nice to hear good reports about the upgrade.

For me it's all about the styles. The more the better.

You can take an old song you've been playing for years, get creative with some different styles and make the song fun to play again.

I've been working with the DJ Loops and using a couple as styles.

I little creativity and you've got something new and different.

Isn't MUSIC a wonderful thing?

That's a good point. I have three TOTL arrangers including Audya76. It is refreshing to play the same song on another keyboard, say nothing of trying totally different styles.
