Ketron Audya
Arranger Keyboard

AUDYA
Advanced Music Station
The new KETRON state-of-the-art AUDYA
represents the next generation of contemporary Entertainment keyboards,
featuring a top-quality sound engine, a powerful Audio Multiplayer,
revolutionary and unique solutions in the Auto Accompaniment industry,
and the capability to interact with the outside world through multiple
multimedia capability.
KETRON has once more raised the Arranger keyboard bar up to a long
awaited hi-professional level, offering musicians the total freedom to
play and control Audio files within the Arranger and Midifiles.
Intelligent Audio Drums
KETRON AUDYA introduces a very
innovative concept used with Styles and Midi files : REAL AUDIO
DRUMS synchronized under Midi sync tempo domain. Until now, robotic and
redundant Midi Drums were the only ways to reproduce drum patterns.
AUDYA delivers to you a Live Drummer performance which
brings a new drive into the Automatic accompaniment section. Out with
the old annoying Midi patterns – in with the new exhaustive Real Audio
Drums at your fingertips!!
The Audio Drum tracks are used to play extra long Stereo takes with real
Intros, Fills and Endings, all working on perfect sync with the
conventional Midi resources and chording.
Figure this out – you can now cover all your background styles such as
Pop, Rock, Ballad, Swing, Traditional, Latin with an unprecedent music
taste of ‘live musicians’ and not pre-programmed sequence. Real drummers
and percussionists did a great job for you ... and they’re still at your
convenience, following your Tempo changes and improvisations. No longer
will you be asked “which Drum Set did you use for this track”, but
“which musician recorded this track for you?” ... Unbelievable!!
Real Audio Arranger
In addition to the Audio Drums, a huge variety of Real
Live Guitars and Bass backgrounds have been provided within
AUDYA. Folk, Classic, Electric and even Flamenco patterns, all
performed by respecting the proper feel of each different type of music,
and all perfectly synchronized with Drums and Bass!! With the Unplugged
styles, you can enjoy the individual Guitar performances, a perfect tool
for singing, performance and composition. The sensation of playing with
a Real Band backing was never this true and exciting before. Just play
any chord and listen!!
Professional Multiplayer
Thanks to the Midijay experience, the KETRON
AUDYA now brings the Player to a new enhanced and
realistic dimension, offering dual Wave, dual MP3 and dual Midi file
channels and 2 stereo tracks for immediate Hard Disk Recording. Newly
developed hi-professional algorithms now permits AUDYA
to fluently manipulate Waves and Mp3 with accurate
time-stretching on-the-fly for Timing (bpm) and Transposition with
barely any noticeable loss of quality. A very useful built-in MP3
Encoder device allows the musician to sing and perform anything on the
keyboard and instantly save as MP3 files to a storage media.
The internal 40G HD (upgradeable to 80G) can support a big repertoire of
Audio and Midi Songs and settings.
Additional features such as DJLoops, SFX and CD Audio tracks ripped to
Wave (via USB) makes the AUDYA’s Multiplayer stand out
in a class of it’s own, with endless combination possibilities for
live performance.
New Sound Generation
A massive 360 MB hi-quality Sound engine, following
the KETRON tradition of Best Natural Sounds. Great variety of New Stereo
and Multilayer instruments, including Grand Piano, El. Pianos, Acoustic
& Electric Guitars, Pads, Accordions, Synths and some New un-compromised
Brass and Sax voices which will sound even more realistic than ever!
128 additional sounds may be quickly loaded from a storage media into
the expandable 64MB Internal RAM. A totally redesigned Sampler (44 KHz /
16bit) is also provided along with a new Digital Drawbars section that
includes 9 sliders, Percussion, Rotor and Overdrive effects together
with sampled Stereo Organs which will produce any full, rich organ sound
required.
VOICETRON – KETRON’s new Vocalizer !
Up to 5 voices simultaneously!! Plenty of DSP controls
with Formant and Pitch correction, Voice transformers and EFX for new
exciting vocal textures. Personalize your live performance by adding the
powerful VOICETRON to your Midi files, your Styles or just controlling
your “singing notes “ manually from the keyboard in real time. A big
preset collection database will quickly transform your tunes from a
single voice into an “ A Cappella “ vocal set! The vocal section
includes 2 Microphone XLR inputs, 10 band equalizer, individual Effect
and Slider controls, Talk, new Pitch to Midi features and much more.
Digital Sound Processor (DSP)
3 powerful DSP’s with new enhanced Reverb,
Chorus, Distorsion, Echo and Rotor Effects, adding individual controls
per Voice. Separate Reverb ambiences for the Lead section, Accompaniment
and Microphone (Voicetron). Global 2 Band Equalizer for Wave, Mp3 and
enhanced Bass Boost.
Keyboard & Layout
AUDYA is equipped with a new 76
semi-weighted keybed, with Aftertouch and Portamento.
A very intuitive layout makes the keyboard extremely easy to use. The
Operating System will reflect basically the philosophy of that used in
today’s computers and will therefore result in a confidential platform
for any traditional musician, composer or programmer.
The new Colour Display 320x240 TFT, 15 slider controls plus 2
programmable extra sliders and assignable tabs ensures a cool and
relaxed panel navigation.
Connections
A couple of Stereo Main Outs, 4 Separate assignable
Outs (2 Stereo or 4 Mono, without by-pass for Internal Effects), 2 Line
Inputs, SPDIF In/Out, Video Interface socket for additional Monitors/TV
for karaoke, Footswitch, Headphone and 4 Midi sockets will ensure any
type of Audio and Midi professional connection.
USB / Multimedia
2 USB host sockets + 1 USB device allows AUDYA to
properly communicate with new Multimedia gears and computers.
External HD, Sticks, CD/DVD Rom and others mass storage devices can
be easily connected, thus allowing one to quickly save, reload and
transport complete music repertoires in total safety.
We the team at KETRON are always
working hard … so you don’t have to!!
