Ketron SD1: a new wonderful musical adventure
is about to begin!
Congratulations for having purchased the new Ketron SD1 electronic keyboard. It has taken us two years of painstaking research and program-
ming to offer you improved and more natural timbres, modern and musical arrangements and new reproduction functions for MIDI files, sam-
ples, text files and General MIDI files.
If you are already familiar with Ketron X1 then you will have no problem in using the SD1. If you are new to the world of Ketron and electronic
keyboards then we advise you to read the “Having fun with the SD1!” section.
Then again if you are experienced musicians and programmers and you’re interested in the real nitty-gritty then the specific sections for each
operational environment is what you’re looking for!
Finally whatever category of skill you belong to we recommend that you read the first few pages of this manual. They provide a description of
the operational control panel, the connections and the navigation principles among the parameters that are valid for all parts of this manual.
We hope you have lots of fun with Ketron SD1!
THE NEW FEATURES OF THE SD1
Whereas many electronic keyboards are becoming real workstations, with ever-complicated functions and often not within everyones reach,
our SD1 keyboard has been thought up as an instrument capable of enhancing the musician’s skill in the centre of the show. Our desire is that
of offering the SD1 as a simple yet potential instrument that hides endless possibilities for the musician who loves playing, entertaining and
interacting with the musical instrument. You can of course use the SD1 just to reproduce files but you would be missing out on much of our
research carried out worldwide!
Some aspects of the SD1 are similar to many other professional electronic keyboards:
Polyphony with 64 notes.
Hundreds of styles.
Hundreds of timbres.
A sophisticated arranger.
Reproduction of Midi files.
Display of the words of a Midi file also on the monitor.
A timbre editor.
General MIDI and Standard MIDI File compatibility.
A sequencer with sixteen tracks.
A style editor.
Other aspects on the other hand are more unique, often offered as optionals, but in the SD1 they are given standard:
A Vocalizer for harmonizing the voice.
A hard disk of six Gigabytes.
A double MIDI input.
Two audio inputs for microphones.
A sampler of sixteen MB’s with wave graph editing.
A half-weighted keyboard with 76 keys.
Four audio outputs.
Compatibility with audio .WAV files.
A Flash RAM for loading new samples.
The use of Styles directly from the disk.
Last but not least the SD1 has some potentials that you have never seen or heard of in other electronic keyboards as they are an exclusive of
Ketron SD1:
The use of audio .WAV files in real time with a Midi file linked with the transposition and change of the tempo thanks to a proprietary algo-
rithm that does not alter the timbre for compatible intervals.
The sampled grooves, processed and entered in the Styles to provide that certain musical realism that is impossible to achieve with a sim-
ple drum kit.
The Mutes of the individual instruments of a sampled groove.
Two drum tracks for each style.
The possibility to display a text file (.TXT) while using the Arranger to do away with awkward packs of song sheets and booklets.
The complete automation of all loading procedures via the Registrations that can load for example the words, the audio files and the Midi
file of a song all in one go.
Management of the hard disk via a serial port on a separate PC to organise your own back-up copies and to view all the files on a larger
display.
