I had high hopes for Roland and then I watched that video

The Hammond sound is awfull (its the same sample they have used for years and years)
low resolution late 1980s screen (


Screen surround looks nice though

TWD,

the screen on the AUDYA is nothing to brag about either

It is about a 76 key version of the bk5- the bk9.

The Hammond sound is awfull (its the same sample they have used for years and years)



Without using a dedicated board, I have found the Audya drawbars(sim off) used with my Neo-Ventilator to be the best for me.

Hey man are you joking this isn't close to the Ketron Audya

There has been very little offered from Roland in many years worth getting excited about!

The BK series Arranger keyboards are just one more example of a non-event from Roland.

The Jupiter 80/50 has some pretty good pad, orchestral and synth sounds.

Probably a good consideration as an added solo keyboard along with the Audya.

I think for the most part, Roland just hasn't kept up in the Arranger Department.

Nothing exciting I could find about the BK!

As always, just my personal opinion.
