I think the sd1000 will be to the midjaypro, what the sd2 is to the midjay plus. Same sounds same percussion loops, no styles, but the raw ingredients are there.

I was told the drums and sounds are 90% new. Ten percent coming from the Audya. The way I was explained it, the drums will be audio, not audio streaming like on the audya. The sd1000 is similar to the sd2 in what the sd2 does in relation to the midjay plus.

"I was told the drums and sounds are 90% new. Ten percent coming from the Audya."

Hello Angel1000, Are you speaking of the SD1000 only or both the SD1000 and Midjay Pro?

I am speaking about the sd1000. My understanding is whatever will be found in the sd1000 will also be found in the midjaypro.

So if they have upgraded the SD sound engine we could see it in a new MOTL keyboard/module.....I'll just be losing sleep until 4/10 now

just my opinion, interesting topic, I don't think you'll see a new motl keyboard from ketron anytime soon. My reasoning, the high end is the Audya, it has to hit a different market than say a midjay or a sd2.Ketron had to get into the low end market to rationalize their costs and sell in volume. It would be intersting to see if they sold more sd2 than audya's. My money is on the sd2. I think the middle is going to stay empty.

I in no way profess to know everything, correct me if I am wrong,Ketron used to introduce flagship trickle down to module etc. It seems the opposite is happening now. There is very little electronics between audya and the rest. One day you might get full audya trickled down to an sd100, only when a new flagship comes out, and the audya is old news.

For me the best (without being surreal) that KETRON would create for the acutal series Audya is:
- New version of StyleCompiler (with automatic association of UserAudioDrums). *PROFISSIONAL METHOD*
- Functionality to use MSP to INSDrumKit. *USERS REQUEST*
- New Software "LiveGuitarCompiler" (obvious to compile userliveguitars). *UNIQUE FEATURE*

* Bring life to your existing Ketron products with the capability to play back Mp3/Audio on SD, XD ... etc series.
* Out with FD. In with USB and SD!
* Touch screen now welcomed.
* Audio technology now available to most.

Happy April 1st day.
