Hello again

Anyone else discovered this fault when update to OS 4.0b and 4.0c for SD1?

Looks like my earlier post just disapeared downwards, and nobody have any
hints or tips about it. Even Ketron Italy don't bother reply email, so
I'll try again:

Wonder if there are somebody who can explain...

After the update to 4.0b, also 4.0c there are some bugs, i.e. when play the
Piano Ball from custom styles 8 Beat section, the endings are missing!! ??
Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?

When try call up the style from folder 90 to replace, I got message
"2 PAT. Fat Error" when try to save as described in the upgrade manual.

I also try reload the styles as described in manual page 121 and everything
looked to work fine, but when turn on keyboard, all styles was missing.
Started all over again, and now it's v 4.0c "successfully" installed, but
still the style (pat) PianoBal in Custom Style section miss the endings and
break etc.
Also same message came up when try replace following the manual.

Also I notice that I have to be very very accurate when hold the left hand
chords (fingered mode), if not all fingers leave or hit the keys for the next
position at once, the SD1 don't play as smooth as other keyboards I've had my
fingers on.
Is this a bug, or is it just the way it is??

Otherwise I'm very pleased with the Sd1 so far, it's the nearest thing to
"live performance" keyboard I've ever heard, whatever style changed, it's the
same band playing. GREAT!
But it looks like the new (little brother?) SD5 does a great job too, it sounds
fantastic gigged up and wired to PA, so I'm really looking forward to explore
the new "big brother" in the Ketron SD family when it arrive.

Cheers
GJ

If you send me your email address I can send you my copy of piano ball. There may other issues you have, however, with corrupt information.

Hi bzw,

thank you very much, but unfornately the result is the same.
It’s playing OK when place into a userfolder, just as the file I already have copied from folder #90 does,
but when try to do as manual says to replace the damaged file into custom styles, the message
"2 PAT. Fat Error" still comes up in display.

Well, it was worth a try. Thanks again.

Regards
GJ

Hi Jonny,
what do you you mean by" replace the damaged file"
Are yo just trying to load a style into a custom style spot, or are you using some sort of file replacement method???

best wishes

Hi Rikki

I'd just try replace style as described in the upgrade manual, same method as
when replace older pat with the new and reworked ones downloadable among the
files for OS update.
But if other people who has done the upgrade don't have this fault, there most
be a reason for why this happens at this SD1, specially when it's OK before the
OS upgrade. Therefor I think it's a fault in the downloadable files.
I've even downloaded and did upgrade once again to be sure, and both by copy to
floppydiskettes, tyhen to SD1, and also by use of ftp transfer via PC connection
by use of the software downloadable. Result are the same; faulty PianoBall.

Hi again,

today I got e-mail from Ketron Italy with a single file to load.
This repaired the problem nice and easy without any further
action than load the file!
Great, Ketron did respond to my question sent from their webpage.

Happy Playing.
