???? You mean the manual that DIDN'T come in the box?

I downloaded the manual from the site, but that is NO excuse for shipping a $2000 keyboard without paperwork. It's a terrible oversight on the part of Ketron.

Your manual is way better than the X1 was.
Can't wait to get the hard copy, so I can bring it into my bathr..... I mean READING room !

Manual will arrive tuesday . dano

OK - in the interrest of faIRNESS:
Quick vol change for seq or arranger - now ok
search during playback - now ok

The score is almost tied at this point UNTIL - ?!?!?!?!?!?!? The tempo lok is still arratic. This must be an anomoly, because even the cheapest little Casio's lock tempo during playback of styles.

Try this:

Swing group - start with f6 or f7 style (forgot the name) it's 120BPM I think ... now lok the tempo, and select f8 - mine changes to 140 ... try f10 and it jumps to 160.

This simply will not do fella's. If this can't be fixed - I can't use it. (Sorry dan0)

Try other units, and see if it happens .... maybe mine is just a fluke .... in which case, I'll have to throw it back until it grows up !

Have you tried to save/enter the tempo's of the styles you wish to lock ? It really is easy .
I would be more than happy to do it for you and send via email !

Well ...my 1st reaction is to be defensive cause I love the sound of the Ketron gear much more than Korg . I see way to many advantages with Ketron keyboards . Plus ....I am really into happy customers *~* .
But .....you are UNCLE Dave after all . If tempo lock is truely a issue with the XD9 , I am sure that Sandro and AJ will look into this and correct it . I do not have the XD9 near me to investigate . gotta go !

I liked the styles of the XD9 generally but could not figure out how to change panel memories - there did not seem to be dedicated buttons to select one setup after another easily during the course of a song. I tried fiddling with the plus / minus, but in a bustling show, without any manual, could not get anything to work.
How do you increase the panel memories with a simple button push?

Can you be more specific about panel memories ? dano

a full registration setup. All I could find was the reg button followed by numerical entry.

technicsplayer,

The panel memory (technics) are refered to here as Registrations (Ketron/Yamaha). To access a REGISTER, you have to

* press the REGISR button on the right below the voices.
* Once the cooresponding LED is on, enter the number of the Registration you would like to access using the numeric/styles buttons (0-9).

To SAVE into a registration slot, set the keyboard as you wish.

* Press SAVE/ENTER and press REGISTR (F1). * Use the numeric/styles buttons (0-9) to access the location you wish to save to.
* Rename if you wish and SAVE.

You can save a total of 198 Registrations on board into a single BLOCK register. The entire block can be saved onto FD/HD so you can create several blocks each of 198 registrations/panel memories. You can also use SINGLE REGISTERS (accessed directly from FD/HD), in place of BLOCK REGISTERS (described above).

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

AJ

Uncle Dave and Dan O,
The style UD is talking about is fast swing. Fast swing is using one of the grooves sampled into the XD9. It's tempo can never be slower than 160. So, even though you've locked the style tempo, it can't stay at 120. it must go to 160. Had you locked the tempo at 170, it would have stayed locked. We've talked about this on the X1 and SD1 for users who don't understand why the bossanova won't go slower than 80BPM. The groove would sound silly at a slower rate because of the limitations of sampling. I even called AJ to varify this a few minutes ago and he tried it and agreed with my evaluation.
