AUDYA 5 is the latest in
our line of ground breaking arranger keyboard and
represents a complete shift in technology over standard midi equipment; the
ability to play with real musician. It has a powerful audio multiplayer,
extremely high quality sound engine and many unique automatic accompaniment
features. The generous set of interfaces include versatile video support,
configurable audio connections and three USB ports to connect to a computer or
other multimedia devices.
Real LIVE Arranger
AUDYA 5 is equipped with a unique and
powerful Arranger Section that has over 560 Styles, 370 Audio Drum sequences and
Percussion ( Live Drums ). Internationally acclaimed Drummers and Percussionists
have contributed to this project to create the finest Rhythmic and Arranger
section on the market today. These Audio sequences are perfectly synchronized
with the Midi clock in order to allow tempo changes without compromising sound
quality! Furthermore, AUDYA 5 allows one to import and synchronize new Audio
drums (User Audio Drums ) alongside future implementations from KETRON giving a
new, exciting way to create Audio Live Drums from scratch. But that's not all!
Besides Percussion features, AUDYA 5 includes 159 Live Guitar Patterns suitable
for many popular musical styles. This allows for the subtle... and not so subtle
requirements of tomorrows, today's, and yesterdays music. Until AUDYA this has
never before been possible with standard midi programming offered by other
manufacturers.
It is also possible to load into the AUDYA 5's Ram with new Live Guitars ( GTR )
and is compatible with Ketrons new and current styles. An innovative system;
AUDIO STYLE MODELING allows one to replace original Style parts with new ones
taken from a huge internal library of: Drum Bank, Bass Bank, Grooves, Guitar
BANK 1 & 2, Arp&Lick and Live Guitars. It is no longer necessary for the user to
waist time creating new style parts due to the huge library of AUDIO DRUMS,
BASS, ARP. & LICK, GUITAR STRUMMING, ETC created by KETRON. If creativity from
scratch is required, you may also use your own sequences too.
New Pianist and Bassist functions deliver sophisticated
control and complete harmonization and Manual Bass leads played.
Professional Multiplayer
Backed by experience
from our flagship - Audya, KETRON enhanced the performance of AUDYA 5's
multiplayer to new levels of excellence. AUDYA 5 can play up to six tracks
simultaneously; dual WAV, dual MP3 and dual MIDI files with DJ features such as
PFL (Pre Fader Listen) - the possibility of listening to songs first using
headphones before playing through the system, Playlists, Crossfades, Zoom, Song
Medley and text (txt) synchronization to Audio and midi songs alike.
With the new exciting Midi Remix feature, the user can
assign and sync. Midi files with a Style's Audio Drums plus … get this - all of
the Live Guitars available!! The final result of this mix (including Midi, Audio
Drums and Live Guitars), can be saved in a KETRON proprietary format called KMX
( KETRON Midi Remix ). This file can then be exported to other Audya Instruments
with fully compatibility. AUDYA 5 records to an internal Hard disk (80 G) any
performance played as Wave, MP3 or MRS (Macro Recording Song) format - this
latest KETRON proprietary format allows one to store all instrument events
performed (including voice or style changes, tempo, transpositions Ö etc.). The
tempo and transpose controls for MIDI also work with WAV and MP3 files, in real
time, without loss of quality. AUDYA 5 can also record and store an entire
musical performance onto the Internal hard disk, either as a WAV or MP3 file at
CD quality (16 bit at 44,1 KHz). In addition, a 4-band equalizer and the
possibility to rip audio tracks from an audio CD (connected to it via USB)
completes this outstanding multiplayer. Furthermore KETRON has equipped AUDYA 5
with a comprehensive variety of professional quality DJ loops, ambient sounds
and special effects ready to be used out of the box.
New Sound Generation
Following KETRON's tradition of the "Best Natural Sounds",
AUDYA 5 includes a new sound engine of very high quality. 430 new stereo
Orchestral Presets with multilayer modes, 320 new Programs with one of KETRON'S
latest features - "Voice Character Emulation" (VCE). VCE includes exciting
special articulations plus sophisticated Performance controls such as Key Off,
Morphing, Coupling, Rotor to Pedal, Aftertouch and Sustain Switch. Besides all
of these new features, a user can store within a Voice their own Harmony mode in
order to achieve the best setting (OTM - One Touch Melody).
A Preset Selection can be modified and saved as a new
Program by using the Edit menu available in AUDYA 5. The user can also fine tune
the timbre, dynamic, effects and the new articulation features as well. 16 Voice
List with 300 Programmable Sounds plus the new UVL feature ( User Voice List )
allows one to automatically recall a Voice list which can also include a Style,
Midi file, Mp3 or Wav file.
In
addition to the built in 64mb of RAM for more personalized sounds that can
quickly be loaded from disk, we listened to our users' request for more memory.
It is now possible to increase the RAM memory to either 192mb or 256mb allowing
the user to add to the internal Wavetable a complete new Sound Bank. AUDYA 5
also has a renewed DSP section, with new Rotor, Distortion, Phaser, Flanger,
Tremolo, Chorus, Reverb effects and much more. With the newest SAMPLER Section,
the user can now sample and edit their own sounds in great detail- thanks to the
ultimate multisampling editor, MSP.
Voicetron – KETRON's New Vocalizer
AUDYA 5 has a new Vocalizer which incorporates five voices
that sets a new industry standard. The extended preset library means the
Vocalizer is easier to use, but can also be edited by the musician, with
controls over the harmonic content of the voice, equalization and effects. The
AUDYA 5 Vocalizer works in real time on one of the two microphone inputs. It has
dedicated reverb and delay functions and can be controlled manually with the
keyboard, or automatically via the Arranger/ MIDI files. An innovative method of
linking chords to the Voicetron means it is able to interpret musical passages
according to the rules of traditional harmony.
User interface / Audio Connections
AUDYA 5 has a new 61note semi-weighted keybed with
aftertouch and portamento. The control panel is designed to help the musician,
especially in live situations. Seventeen sliders, (one assignable), offer
efficient control of volumes and effects in real time. The instrument's current
status is clearly shown by the various LED's built into the tabs and by the
graphics that appear on the integrated colour display (LCD TFT technology with a
resolution of 320x240). The user interface is similar to that of modern
computers, offering a familiar and easy to use interface. In addition to the 10
User tabs currently on the panel and the traditional foot pedal controls
(Footswitch ), AUDYA 5 includes a new section of assignable Tabs 1-16. These
buttons come with default KETRON factory setting plus a free programmable user
section (User Tabs), which allows direct management over other more important
AUDYA 5 features.
A new
revolutionary Registration structure means that you can save and instantly
recall not only the general status of the instrument (Sounds, Styles, Volumes,
Micro etc.) but also any links to an audio source required for the performance,
for example a Wave, an Mp3, a Midi file and even a Playlist. There is also a
Language menu for customized viewing of the most important functions of the
instrument in several languages.
Via its video port, AUDYA 5 can display colour images with lyrics synchronized
with the music onto a larger TV screen (PAL or NTSC) or on a VGA monitor. As an
alternative, it can show an exact copy of the LCD display (Mirror).
AUDYA 5 offers a full compliment of inputs and outputs,
both analogue and digital. Together with a standard pair of stereo audio
outputs, there are four separate outputs that can be configured as auxiliary
stereo audio outputs or as mono audio outputs (with or without DSP effects).
AUDYA 5 also has two stereo input lines, an output for headphones, 4 Midi ports,
multiple USB Ports, two Combo inputs ( XLR + 1/4" ) for the microphone and a
dedicated output for the metronome click (for recording or use with a live
drummer Ö etc.).
AUDYA 5 and it's
internal Hard Disk can easily be connected via USB to a computer to edit the
musical contents of the instrument and to back-up files. Furthermore, two USB
host ports accept many mass storage devices, such as the very popular USB memory
sticks, external USB hard drives, CD and DVD readers, to be able to exchange
data externally with absolute ease. On KETRON's web site (www.ketron.it) some
interesting free software tools are already available for all users such the
Style Compiler (for creating styles on a computer) and DJ Loop Compiler (for
creating your own Styles or DJ loops easily).
