AJ,
to use the lyric scrolling feature within registrations of the SD7 must you use only a monitor or can something like an Ipad or Surface Pro be used?

Deane,

It has to be a device with a video input signal that you can connect to the DVI monitor output on the SD7. I don't think Ipads have a video input source to accept a signal from another device, do they? Let me check but I doubt.

Thanks,

AJ

What you said about the same songs on different keyboards---

You are absolutely right. I have about 150 tunes I do from memory, as well as hundreds that I read or glance at.

As well as many others, I have my "core" songs on my five gigging keyboards. VOILA!

I sent the a link to my onedrive folder to all that asked for the styles (I think around 550 in total) They are from MS40, MS50, MS60, MS100, X1/X4, SD3/5

There are more to come - will get those ready asap.

Tonewheelguy,
Thanks from me too!

Where in the UK are you located? My wife and I visit the UK twice a year - usually go to Skeggy or Blackpool.

Yes - not my cup of tea though - I don't enjoy Organ Music and you tend to hear alot of Tower and Theatre organ (shudder) coming from the Lowrey room! - not realy the ideal place for Ketron. There was a huge ammount of interest and we have orders for MidJay pro's (with the 22" screen) mostly by Tyros owners. We took an old Technics KN6000 to demonstrate how well the MJ Pro works as a midi arranger module with a keyboard.

Personally I prefer working with Pro and Semi pro Musicians who appreciate the Ketron equipment for live use - they are our main buyers anyway.

Also, the majority in attendance (maybe its an age thing) just could not grasp the 22" screen with two pages of music on - many could not accept the music was stored on the SD7 and linked to a registration - so many people wanted to buy just the screen to add to their Korg PA3X or T5's it was unreal.. and they realy didn't like it that we refused to sell them a screen! Also we ran into a problem because certain companies provide lead sheets on an external tablet which is completely illegal in this country - we cant compete with that as we are not prepared to break the law to sell a keyboard.

One old gent came up and told us "Ketron need to get with the times". we asked him what he meant - he said "the Tryos sings" turns out he had heard an MP3 file being played on the Tyros and thought it was the keyboard singing in a womans voice - hehe. We played him a recording on the Audya of my Niece made on th the keyboard, She was singing and Audya was being played to accompany her. We showed him how you could change speed without affecting pitch and transpose without affecting speed and that you could cut the vocals and play a lead voice in its place.

He went off in a bad mood and we never saw him again..lol

Generally people were amazed by the SD7, unfortunately we could not offer it for sale properly as stocks will not arrive until later this month, but it certainly caused a stir. The Midjay Pro with external screen was ideal for the people there anyway and that sold well - at least to those who could work out they needed the module as well as the monitor!
