Well, usually there are a lot of leaks about new models in front of
arrival to the public, but no such "seriously" rumours is going on
this time, so maybe you're right.
If it's the next top of the line to replace SD1 it will certainly be
far more expensive than the SD5, cause SD1 Plus are still in the shop,
and it costs nearly 50% more than SD5 in this country.

Anyway, guess we'll just have to wait and see, and whenever a new top
of the line Ketron keyboard coming up, I'm very anxious to see if the
engineers managed to put in some more userfriendly OS.

Happy playing.

Ok, what can I say?

Name - starts with "A****" - a letter usually designated to the highest/best grade, reward ... etc.

What is it? It will be/is the first of it's kind keyboard with massive great technology NOT YET available in any Arranger keyboard to date.

Features - Can't really disclose at this time, however let's just say, KETRON has taken LIVE SOUND to the ultimate level using todays technology to create sounds for tomorrow!!!!

Expansion - Lots of what you asked for is now inclusive as standard. Easy OS, multi-tasking expanded ... etc

Weight - We tried to keep it down this time.

What else? It's around the corner and coming soon.

WOW !!

But does it come anywhere close to professional studio/live production quality of sound that is available with studio/live computer software/hardware, if so then I will definitely look forward to trying it, (It will probably be shown at the Blackpool Keyboard Festival if it is shown at Frankfurt) as for the first time in years there will be a keyboard that can give a Wersi OAS instrument (With also has the advantage of virtually unlimited expandability for the future) a run for its money. (Don’t also forget the Mediastation which will also be a force to be reckoned with in a couple of years or so)
Can’t wait to find out details

On the SD1Plus, we had a ROM Wave table of 48MB and we believe we did well with the technology then (which in my opinion still rival some of the newer ones out today). With a new ROM wave table of over 300MB, what would you expect? (no , it won't serve you breakfast in bed...)

AJ

Probably no use asking at this moment, but
if not ask, no answers

AJ, are there more than 61 keys and no speakers?
And "just around the corner", is that later than
Frankfurth?

Gunnar Jonny,

You're right ... if you don't knock, the door might not be opened. If you do ....

To answer your questions, yes, yes and yes.

AJ

Interesting.... in fact, very intersting!

Ok - I can add one more letter to the new name - "U".

If you don't read from me again, I have been 'fired'

Spaceship design? Not really; however, a tremendous amount of R&D has gone into making the panel a lot easier to use (possibly without a manual for basic operations). I think I might have 'killed' 3 trees in the process but it's all good now.

More to come ...

am i the only one missing a joystick on the left side of the keys on the SD1? The current location of pitch / modulation wheels is impossible to use. i don't need the speakers and extra keys, but I must have the sampler so SD5 was out of the question. you can put me on the list for any new advanced ketron.
