Hi AJ.

Great looking specs there, looking forward to seeing a picture and demo's all in good time. Thanks for updating us all

Impressive specs. If Ketron can pull this off it could be the first "real" arranger workstation. However I fear the price will be to high for me.

Kind regards,
Tommy

Those are some great specs - nice

Thanks Ketron_AJ

3 Intro/Endings, Fill In, Break.


Only one Fill In ....?

Nah ... the FILLS are linked to the various Arrangements (3 in total) ...

Heyyy, not separate fill buttons or/and assignable?
Hopefully break and to end are there!
That's really a nice function on SD1.

Looking forward to more info

Thats all fine & good but what about the navigation which my #1 priority to a performance player? Although great sounds & styles My previous Ketron Kb's all left me wanting for more & moving on to others just because of navigational real time features.
Its just too important.

No sequencer AJ?
