Hey!
Can anyone help me with advice about conecting SD1 Plus to PC.I have the cable and nothing happends.Is there any software or drivers to install?
Thanks

Hi.you need this software http://www.ketron.it/software/KetronFT.zip

Hey!Thanks...but is this conection working like a midi interface too?To gain access to the sound module?

Yes is a midi conection too. but beter use the normal midi ports to have minimum trouble (note stuck, Data Feedback, and Sd1 stop responding :-))

Thanks again!
I had always been using Roland, I just sold VA76 and now I have to reshape myself for Ketron...amazing sounds, I love it!
It's a little bit difficult after years and years of Roland , so any advice is absolutly welcomed!
Still analyzing the sound and banks..
Is there any Editor in the net , somewhere?
I have to "rewrite" all my midis for it.

check this for midi file editing http://soundcompany.net/sd1/mastering_studio/
for midi connection you need this drivers from ketron http://www.ketron.it/software/KetronXPC.zip
Ketronxpc is a software driver that allows you to transfer MIDI data to/from the serial port of the Personal Computer without using the MIDI interface..
but this drivers for windows 95 and 98..if you need drivers for Xp, you can use Yamaha CBX driver..regards

seems to me you have A lot of work to do I have 2 years now the Sd1 and I still remake my midis from roland to ketron ...:-) If you are interesting About instruments definitions for the Sd1 for cakewalk I have A Compleete version
But You Have to live with out many goodies of roland in your midis like the huge midi liblary ,the variety of synth sounds, the electric basses , the Brush(forget the jazz midis of roland) & TR Series Drum sets, the "left hand" of your piano, the pitch bend in drums (you have to do this with NRPN now) and many more . Don't worry there are things that will keep you in Sd1 (is a Hard One way) like accordions, live drums, easy of use the hard disk, effects , guitars , vocalist, remix function ........... This forum is the best way to learn your SD1 good luck

Hey!
You're absolutly right..I just start translating my midis to Sd1plus...God!..I'm really missing all those intruments from VA76...but I'm happy for the new sound I have, for vocalist section (I'm performing alone,like Onemanband)and many others.And I found a lot of good styles inside Sd1 ready for playing, no more tweaking,just play!
Thanks for your support,I'm really "new" in Ketron world.

For Necdetdoni !
Thanks man ,its a really amazing soft.Very usefull.
I tried to connect my SD1 via serial port, with KetronXPC, nothing...but when I'm working with KetronFT everything's fine.Very slow transfer....Have you ever tried to load a wave file...like 15M?

Viocaia; what os using in your pc?Ketron XPC is for windows 95/98 !!! and after installation XPC, you must make some adjustments in your PC (in your music software or/and sound manager of windows)
Yes,transfer is very slow but enough for midi and pattern load ..for 15 mb waves;you need patience and a good dvd for watch )
