Hi!
I got my new Ketron Event a couple of weeks ago. My previous Keyboard was SD90 which I still have (but am planning to sell). I also have a Korg PA4X which I also am planning to sell because I rarely use it.

I have played several hours on the Event, but more playing than exploring. So here are my thoughts so far.

I find the sounds very good and lifelike. Especially the elektric pianos which are absolutely awesome. But the acoustic pianos, the strings, guitars, accordions, saxophones, organs etc, are all very good. On my SD90 there were a few shortcomings (worst was the harpsicord) but I donĀ“t find that to be the case with Event.

But there are some shortcomings according to the sounds; I miss some orchestra sounds for example cello, bass clarinet, various french horn. Some of them (ex cello) are in the GM bank and I can make a user sound myself, but some samplings are missing.

While the electric organs are very good and various, the church organs have very few variations. My Korg is fantastic according to church organ variations.

I really miss "Voice list" from the SD90. I often used this list with my preferable sounds. Hopefully in a future upgrade?

The styles are extremely good and lifelike with mostly good (and sometimes excellent) intros and endings. The quality of the styles and sound are the main reason to why I love the Event.

But... The pre programmed sound in ABCD really lacks fantasy. There are many really bad choises of sounds. It seems like noone have really bothered. I know I can do this myself and save it as a user style. But I would really like the opportunity to save the ABCE sound in factory style. And to have a voice list like in SD90.

Finally I find the keys, controllers, knobs, touch display, etc to be very good. I really like the Event though some shortcomings (of which maybe some will be fixed in future upgrades).
