Tremolo, Chorus, Reverb effects, and more.
Audio Style Modeling
▀
For the first time ever, an arranger keyboard
features real audio grooves of drums,
percussions, basses, guitars, arpeggios and
licks, all synchronized to MIDI clock. A rich
audio recordings library played by famous
drummers and musicians have been added
to the project, and the live performances of
the musicians have been recorded to match
the styles and MIDI file playback with no
distortion nor loss of quality. Moreover, also
the live guitar grooves are synchronized
perfectly to styles and MIDI files with no
pitch shifting when the tempo is changed.
Player
▀
The professional player can play up to five
tracks simultaneously: that is two WAVE files,
two MP3 files and one MIDI file, with pre-

crossfade functions.

A wide range of lyric options to display the
text within MIDI files or synchronized to
audio files are available.

power of a real tonewheel organ, featuring
percussion, click, rotary speaker, distortion,
vibrato and much more.
USB
▀
Audya has an internal large hard disk
accessed by USB connection from a
computer. In this way, you can easily
manage the musical content of the disk and
make backup copies of your songs and
settings. Moreover, two USB ports on the
front side panel accept any USB storage
device such as pendrives, external hard
disks, CD and DVD players, and more.
Voicetron
▀
The new Voicetron section features a
vocalizer with a new five voices engine. The
vocalizer has an effects library with many
presets that can easily fit all the needs of the
singer. You can also edit the parameters to
your needs, for example, to set the Vocalizer
effects set to automatically follow the
Arranger or the MIDI file playback.
Key Tunes
▀
You can assign a song to each button of
the keyboard. Every button tune has loop
capabilities and can be played as a Dj.
User interface
▀
The top panel is designed to help musicians
especially during their live performances.
Seventeen sliders (one slider is User
assignable) allow powerful and efficient
control over volumes and effects. There are
also numberus buttons with a built-in LED
showing their on/off status. A large colourful
LCD display with TFT technology (320x240
pixels) and a multi-page system based on
function buttons around the display allow

settings pages.
