As professionals move up to the top the instruments surpass each other in quality and money – that’s what Tyros5 did to PSR-S970, and that’s what Korg does to us when we get to the new level and become happy to face Pa4X. Anyway the models which happened to land on the middle of prestige are not so easy – they’re priced at about $2000, read and learn how you can get what you need for the money you agree to pay for an arranger. Roland offers its BK-9 model as a backing keyboard since there are no top arrangers by Roland available on the market. Ketron, a famous Italian company, has nothing to do with this Japanese quality/quantity racing leaving them busy with each other – the Italian engineers are absolutely into their own point of view: they offer a different kind of arranger featuring their own multimedia specs.

Armed with a huge number of buttons and knobs the two most powerful arrangers made by Japanese synth making giants Yamaha and Korg seem to contrast ironically the quality with… another quality: stunning sound of Yamaha with the excellent sound of Korg, all-embracing functionality with catchall possibilities. Anyway Ketron Audya reminds us of its firm presence on the market featuring great price/quality proportion and has everything in its favor featuring all the advantages an arranger or composer would need.
