Today I reloaded the OS3.0c !!

The polyphony problems made me wanting the previous OS back in my SD1.
This is realy sad because I hoped Ketron would release a fix to repair the bad programmed version 4.0x's.......

Just curious : Who of the SD1 owners did downgrade too ?? (please reply this thread)

Roel

I have not YET, but becoming more frustrated every day. Hoping to hear something soon from AJ on this, otherwise I'll do the same.

IMPORTANT QUESTION...

The problem I have is with intermittant latency... is this the same as the polyphony problem? I occurs when playing piano over many of the standard SD1 patterns.

I was eager to use new styles and functions of Rel. 4.0, but I couldn't stand the notes being dropped out and cut off. I installed 3.0 back very soon after 4.0b was released.
I still hope, Ketron will do something about it!

Glenn & Luka,

Both the latency and drop-outs made me decide to go back.
I think Ketron software engineers took too much processor-time for the new sounds. The Grand probably takes 3 or 4 layered sounds ? This is why the CPU needs a lot of time to switch on a key and the max of 64 voices is reached.

Version 3.0c still has a (much smaller) latency but NO drop-outs.... what is very important for me

It's great to see replies on this forum. I put a similar post on a german forum..... and they try to tell me there is not a problem at all Perhaps only 1-finger 'musicians' ??

I still hope Ketron solves this very soon. (OS4.0c ?)

Acht du lieber, nicht gut! Let's clue in our German friends so they too can help communicate with Ketron.

I remember at least five more guys writing of the same problem, one of them looking for Rel. 3.0c.
What I secretly believe is that optimization of sounds for existing hardware is a lot of work to do and that silence of Ketron means they already work on surprise OS!
They are a factory that listens to customers!

Last night I tried the 'upgrade without new sounds' ..... and I must say it seems to work without dropouts
(I think Dan01 mentioned this earlier)

The sounds are not as 'thick' as in the full OS4.0b but this saves the so needed voices.

This will do for the time being I guess ?

Roel

Roel,
I tried this possibility also, but as I remember it was not much better. I am curious how it will work for you.

Hi Luka,

Now I remember you wrote a message about not better results. Are you sure you did NOT use the new sounds !
In my case I did a full downgrade to OS3.0c and after that followed the instructions on the Ketron webpage. (On a few points the SD1 behaved not as in the manual)

I played (and 'teased') the SD1 and .... NO dropouts in the Bass.

Perhaps you can give it another try ?

Andrea... What are your views on this?

Dan... Perhaps you can get a feel from AJ as to if/when this problem might be resolved.
