Yes, the price for the PA500 here in the USA will be $1499.00 street price. The retail price is more like $1899 but everyone will be selling for MAP price of $1499.00
The Audya was a NAMM. I saw it and heard it. It was still a prototype and the feeling was that it should be out by Summer. Price was not mentioned and we couldn't play it because it was being demo'd by someone from Canada who is a style programeer for Ketron. Also, it was so loud in the area Ketron was located in (drum area) that it was very hard to really hear how it sounded. They were playing through a pair of powered JBL Eons with 15" speakers and I would have much preffered to here it through a pair of powered near field monitors in a quiet room.

the PA500 is made in china but not in the same factory the PA50 is made in. Korg now has one factory only making products for them and that is where the PA500 is made
