Hi casaet and others,
The SD2 own most of the sounds from the SD1, but also some new sounds like strat guitar and other drum loops that are not in the SD1. But some sounds are missing, and the overall sound quality is not as good as the SD1.
With vArranger you can play Ketron styles (PAT) like any professional arranger keyboard, you can play and create new amazing sounds (vArranger will give you far better sounds than only the SD2 out of the box sounds), you can play karaoke,midifiles, mp3, display lyrics, do instant search , control all very easily...
Editing on the computer screen is far easier than on my sd1
If you need the baroque pipe organ of the SD1, I can help you to create this sound with the SD2, because I have the 2 machines.
There is a lot of function, but everything is very easy. I have musicians more than 65 years old who are playing with vArranger, and start enjoying playing music after 5 minutes.
You plug your SD2 to the computer
You plug your midi keyboard to the computer
you start vArranger, and it's done.
The tablet PC I use is the HP TM2.
Thank you for the comments, I will try to do better quality videos
If you need any information on vArranger, let me know.
Dan
