It is a great keyboard but during the short spell that I had one at home to give it a go I found that programming was not so much I know you love your Audya and you are not the only one. Those demos sound really good & I'm sure there will be a market for it, especially with AJ's continued support. I suppose it should be seen in the light of what one is used to. the new KETRON SD7 !!!įraid I cannot agree on the Audya being difficult to program. Still, the touchscreen so far with Ketron has not been a very reliable construction as compared to Korg, hopefully they have learned from their experiences with the Midjay Pro which also sports ( the same ?) touchscreen. Mind you to the best of my knowledge the entire ROM sample memory of this X1 does not supersede 24Mb, so the SD7 should be much and much better in every way. Personally I still have an old Ketron X1 alongside my Korg PA800 and I still think that the versatility of this X1, the outstanding drums and some individual samples noticably the blow-sax, musette, etc. Maybe because they have an eye on the new SD7 but it might also be that they are somehow disenchanted. If you go to the private sales of musical instruments on Italian sites you will find many Midjay Pros on offer. ( parameters).Īs to this new SD7 being a Midjay Pro in a box, that would not necessarily be a good thing as I read on many Italian sites and forums how many problems and bugs were encountered by those who purchased one. Hence the Audya is a hideous machine to programme, imagine the old Solton MS50 but with a new multitude of variables.

Problem with Ketron,apart from being a small company with a slightly blemished reputation as to service and aftersales is that they continued to develop things based on the same OS as previous models. Great instruments for those days with drums that even today are hard to beat by the other brands.

I also had the MS40 and its keyboard version the MS50.
