My Pen Drive On It's Way....... :) - 08/26/12 04:25 AM

I Just ordered my Pen Drive from Frank.

The new song specific styles mostly from the 70's are just what the Doctor ordered for me.

Being a baby boomer, I am a big fan of all the music from the 70's. You just can't help but love the driving dance beat of 70's Disco.

I think Ketron nailed it with their latest style package.

You combine these with Robert's upcoming style creations and let the fun begin.

Even with my recent purchase of a Korg PA3X, My Audya is still Number "1", hands down!

I'm happy to report my Audya continues to perform perfectly.

Life is Good!

Thanks to......Music......Music.....Music...... smile

I wasn't aware there were any add-styles available for sale anywhere currently.... good for you.
Who is Frank? Web site? Other genres available as well?

I assumed most all forum members here knew Frank.

Sorry! Here is the link to his web site and direct link to order the Pen Drive.

Hi Nitelife,

My order for same has also been placed. Can't wait for it. Are you aware of the styles available over at the Create Songstyles forum? Just Google, join & download.

Just like you, I'm also extremely pleased with my Audya. And soon I'll also have my restore DVD's which will allow me to upgrade from OS20C to OS42B. I can't wait for all my goodies to arrive.

Frank really does nice deals on arranger equipment. I'll most probably buy my next Ketron product through him. I'm sure Ketron has something major up their sleeves again...

Keep well my friend,
Henni

It's a pity they don't give you a limited trial period of some kind to see it it is worth the money. Sounds too good to be true. I've been stung with a few promises on similar offers before. OK it's not a lot of cash but.......
Has any one of our members actually joined and can give an opinion ?

Joining that forum will most certainly be the BEST move you've ever made if you own an Audya. Go for it!!!

Thanks Henni.
I am enjoying listening to your new Audya experience and it might just drive me to get back in the Audya driving seat. I am a gigging musician and I tend to gig my tried and tested SD1 because I have about ten years of hard slog registrations and midi files instantly. My Audya is mostly relegated to my home studio and is only used on "easy" jobs where I have the time to find my way round the menus. I have made up a selection of Registrations and playlists but still seem to stutter between numbers when live on stage.
I will join that forum later today and would be grateful of any hints or tips you can offer as an experienced forum user.
I have many, many styles which I am happy to share. Feel free to pm me and we can sort something out.
Your enthusiasm is inspiring. Keep up te good work

Hi my friend,

Once you've joined, go straight to the Ketron section. You'll find many hundreds of styles to be downloaded one by one. I guess these will be to your liking for what you do.

However, every so often you'll come across some bulk download links. It's amongst these that I found most, if not all of my "gems".

The fee required to join will most certainly be the best money you've ever spent for your Audya, that's a promise from me.

Also, If you have not done so allready, AJ's AJAMSONIC upgrade will solve most, if not all Audya software related problems. Plus you'll have all onboard styles and voices now properly balanced, brand new live guitar and other audio selections to complement your styles, plus you'll have T4 like choir voices, plus you'll have some brand new styles and some modified onboard ones.

Apart from this, you'll have a huge new midi & MP3 library!

I'll have mine soon & I'll post an honest review here, but the demo's by itself convinced me that it'a another MUST HAVE for me.

Keep well my friend,

Henni

Hi Bobby,

Last night I cleaned up my Audya a bit. I put all the stuff that would not play in a seperate directory.

However, here's what I did with my Yamaha & what I'm going to do with the Audya:

1. I create a new folder called "I like"

2. Next I start listening one by one to all the styles I have. If anything grabs my attention, I copy and past to my "I like" folder. This takes up a lot of time, even weeks maybe.

3. When I find a good intro or ending on an otherwise poor style, I'll save these seperately for later use.

4. When I'm done, I start to listen to every single style in my "I like" folder. Because everything in there grabs my attention and inspires me, I'll thoroughly enjoy listening to all of them one by one and this do not feel tedeous at all anymore.

5. Every so often a song would come to mind whilst I'm being higly inspired. I then save it immediately as an registration with the song title as it's name.

6. I repeat "4. & 5." for as long as I have this arranger. Everytime I do this, more songs spring to mind.

7. Later I'll start tweaking some of the styles in my "I like" folder. In my Yamaha, I started copying intros & endings that are nice to some of my favourite styles. Even some complete variations from other styles. (I like to start with a soft ballad in variation 1 and build it up to a rock version in variation 4. This is just the way I like to perform.)

The above is just the way I like to do it & it works well for me. Yes, there are some good styles and also some common ones out there. The above is the only way I've found to date to sift through them all.

I guess I now have over 20 000 styles for the Audya. At least 1 000 or so will be of outstanding quality. Of those, maybe 300 or so will motivate me to play something in a way to my liking.

Remember, we don't gig, but use our Audya for live Praise & Worship only. 300 Songs is a lot for us and more than adequite for our needs. I'm now looking forward to AJ's tutorial DVD. There are still many things about the Audya that I do not yet fully understand. I want to make this learning curve as short as possible.

Hope the above helps someone out there.

Keep well my friend,

Henni

Now that is a very good system. Must give it a go.
I am reluctant to admit it but I have so many styles that there is no doubt a few of them remain untested and could turn out to be what I need.

Re: My Pen Drive On It's Way....... :) - 08/30/12 04:17 AM

Oh yes Bobby,

The best download over there by far is called: "ketron Audya bestStyles.rar" Be sure to download and listen first. If you sort your view by amount of downloads, these will be easier to find.

In the meantime, I'm waiting in great anticipation for all my new Audya goodies. I'm sure I'll be blown away even more within a day or two.

I'll hardly be over that, when AJ's AJAMSONIC stuff will next blow me away even more. I can hardly wait for those AWESOME new "talking" choir voices. Plus AJ has a bunch of new live guitar & other live audio additions included! And not to forget the tutorial DVD...I also look forward to all onboard styles & voices now being at the same sound level - this will save me much time & effort in setting up my registrations. Over and above this I also want to see & experience what he did with the harmonizer settings...

Remember, I've not even had Ketron's new sound upgrade as yet!

Life is GOOD & it keeps on getting better. The Audya really brought a new level of excitement into my life - not that I was bored to start out with...

Keep well my friend,

Henni

Hi

I looked also to the "ketron Audya bestStyles.rar". But at the end this are the factory styles. Nothing new....

Hi Joe, I suspect it's because I do not have the 2011 sound and style update then & also the fact that due to a mistake I made I'm forced to run with OS20C only. Those styles are set up completely different than my onboard factory styles. I've actually compared a few of them.

My update is in the mail to me & hopefully I'll have within a day or two.

Keep well my friend,

Henni

I got my 2012 Pen Drive.
All I can say is WOW. This really shows off the Audya.
This is professional quality.

I just wish there were more songs!

Hi,

received my Pen Drive on Friday. Really professional song related styles and you can also use it for other songs, maybe slightly modified. I paid 44 EUR for this 31 styles - thats less than 1,50 / style. Awesome
