• Groundbreaking 360MB sound Rom

Real Live Arranger

AUDYA 5 brings a unique and powerful Arranger Section with over 560 Styles and 370 Audio Drum sequences plus Percussion (Live Drums). These Audio sequences are perfectly synchronized with the MIDI clock in order to allows tempo changes without sacrificing sound quality! Beside percussion features, AUDYA 5 includes 159 Live Guitar Patterns, offering authentic nuance never before available with standard MIDI programming.

An innovative system called AUDIO STYLE MODELING allows you to replace original Style parts with new ones taken from an extensive internal library: Drum Bank, Bass Bank, Grooves, Guitar Bank 1 & 2, Arp&Lick and Live Guitars.

Professional Multiplayer

Backed by experience from the flagship AUDYA, Ketron raised 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 with headphones before playing through the system, Playlists, Crossfades, Zoom, Song Medley and Txt synchronization to Audio and MIDI songs alike.

With the new MIDI Remix feature, the user can assign and sync MIDI files with a Style's Audio Drums plus all Live Guitars available!! The final result can be saved in a KETRON proprietary format called KMX (KETRON MIDI Remix). This file can then be exported to other Audya Instruments with full 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 form allows you to store all instrument events performed (including voice or style changes, tempo, transpositions etc).

The tempo and transpose controls for MIDI also work with WAV and MP3 files, in real time, without loss in quality. AUDYA 5 can also record and store the entire musical performance onto the Internal hard disk, either as a WAV or MP3 format, with CD quality (16 bit at 44,1 KHz). 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 supplied AUDYA 5 with a rich variety of DJ loops, ambience sounds and special effects, all of professional quality 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).

16 Voice List with 300 Programmable Sounds plus the new UVL feature (User Voice List) allows you to automatically recall a Voice list which can also include a Style, Midi file, Mp3 or Wav file. In addition to the built in 64 MBs of RAM for more personalised sounds that can quickly be loaded from disk, KETRON listened to users' requests for more memory: now you can also upgrade this memory with a new expansion up to 256 MB. Use the beefed up memory to add a complete new Sound Bank to the internal wavetable. 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 their own sounds and manage in great detail - thanks the ultimate multisample editor, MSP.

VOICETRON - KETRON's new Vocalizer!

AUDYA 5 has a new Vocalizer which incorporates five voices that performs with the best standards on the market today. The Vocalizer is easy to use thanks to the extended preset library, but it can also be edited by the musician with controls over the harmonic content of the voice, equalization and effects. The Vocalizer works in real time on one of the two microphone inputs of AUDYA 5. It has dedicated reverb and delay functions and can be controlled manually with the keyboard or automatically, via the Arranger or MIDI files. An innovative linking method of the chords means that Voicetron is able to interpret musical passages according to the rules of traditional harmony.

User Interface / Audio Connections

AUDYA 5 has a new keybed of 61 semi-weighted keys, with aftertouch and portamento. The control panel is designed to help the musician, especially in live situations. Seventeen sliders, (one assignable), offer an efficient control of volumes and effects in real time. The instrument's current status is clearly shown by the various LEDs built into the keys 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, so it is pretty easy to use.

In addition to the 10 User tabs currently on the panel and the traditional Pedal foot controls (Footswitch ), AUDYA 5 includes a new section of assignable Tabs 1-16. These buttons come with a 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 the customized viewing of the most important functions of the instrument in several languages.
AUDYA 5 offers an absolutely complete set of inputs and outputs, both analogue and digital. Together with the typical 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, 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 etc).

USB Ports

AUDYA 5 and its 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 sticks, external USB hard drives, CD and DVD readers, to be able to exchange data externally with ease.

With its tough integration and control of Audio in real time, plus ease of use due to a clearly well defined layout, the KETRON AUDYA 5 is the new reference point for professional live players or studio artist.

I have always stuck with KEtron since I thought they had the best sounds in the business bar none even when I first had their Solton name...I used their SD1 for ages and have upgraded to the AUDYA since a few years back and the only concern I have is service as their is so little support for the product line. I'm hoping/assuming this store has a tech that services them if necessary because I live in Toronto. If not the closest tech would be in the States so you can imagine how inconvenient that would be...Thankfully I have had very few repair issues that my local music store Steve's Music have not been able to help with like cleaning connectors, soldering when necessary and other relatively simple tasks that all keyboards have in common. If any more in depth problem ever arises I hope that I do have a Canadian option for a tech,.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.

Great Additions
