Well my dreams have been shattered. The gentleman is Italian so I will quote him directly. I asked will sd1000 have same drum and percussions. His answer NO, Midjaypro has a real audio (slice) for style.

Second question will the accompagnment sounds in Sd1000 be the same as Midjaypro. Midjaypro has a dps with insert effect and program much better than Sd1000.

Third question I asked about SD2 compared to SD5 being the same. His answer Midjay has more resources and a better sound engine. Midjay can sound like a Sd1000 not the other way around.

Victorptm,
Press Ketron to give us an availability date for the Midjay Pro (and an estimated price)...
Ciao,

How many pre-poaded styles are there? Or do they have to be created/assembled manually?

Thanks! That would be a deal breaker for me. The Midjay Vocalizer was just a simple Vocoder.

Hello everyone. Has anyone anyone heard the midjaypro or sd1000. Excluding Marcello Collo's video, and that crappy one that some one recorded the ambient sound greater than Marco Bacchetta playing. Did anyone attend, I would love to hear what your impressions were.

I have never seen anyone do such a bad marketing job as Ketron.Completely completely useless in keeping their clients informed, excited, etc. Signed a loyal customer.

On the Ketron website there aren't still new videos from Frankfurt 2013; I guess that they have just come back home and are organizing things. However, if something doesn't come up by mid-week, then it's really strange and I agree that they have a really bad marketing policy. The funny thing is that last year they started posting videos while the Musikmesse was still running, like a live coverage of some sort.

Hi Dreamer. I sent a message to Giorgio Marinangeli, the person in last years videos. If you can go to his blog and see what he responds to my statements. He says due to the economic crisis the company must be working with a skeleton staff.

Many companies - even the big players have down scaled their prescence at Frankfurt Musikmesse and other exhibitions. Yamaha used to virtually take over KC exhibitions in the UK, but now your lucky to see two staff there. Hammond did not even exhibit at Frankfurt this year. Its a sign of the times as more online sellers price out the retailers, many established privately owned and chains of stores are closing their doors. There is simply no need for large presence at trade exhibitions any more.

Angel,
I saw the blog; maybe it's time that Ketron too start to assemble their products in China and Indonesia otherwise, with firms like Casio coming up with terrific instruments well below the 1000 euros mark, will be tough for them staying competivive in the market.
Brand loyalty is a good thing, but in these dire times people are very attentive to the quality/price ratio.
