Hi there I have played from the age of 13 and all my music is played in a sort of dance tempo style. Have worked in nearly all the North East clubs over the years. That gave me a good grounding. Cheers. Keyboard: Tyros 5 .. Challenge Winner 2021 April; November (Joint Winner) 2022 June; November 2023 January; August (Joint Winner)
Yes the Audya is most probably the best arranger on the market today, it is a shame that the dealer network here in the UK sucks ... the brand does appear to get bad press, although it must be said that in most cases the 'complaints' are somewhat 'tenuous in nature'
The Ketron, somewhat like the Korg PAx's, are not 'easily drivable' straight from the box ... they need fine tuning to your liking, but once there, they are unbeatable for sound quality and voice realism; as for styles, they are light years ahead of the competition. Yamaha are making a big song and dance of 'audio styles' and 'time stretching' on the new S950, this is nothing new to Ketron, it's been available on the Audya for about three years or more ... and they have done a proper job of it
Comparing the Audya to the Tyros 4 ... well, it's a bit like making comparison between a Koenisegg Agera and a Ferrari .... but, I'd take the Koenisegg every-time
Here is a real nice player knocking out another selection of tunes on the Audya ... enjoy.
