Time will show they say ....

But,
I'm wondering about if this is more a audio "playback-karaokemachine" with arranger features, or is it a well equiped Arrangerkeyboard with audio playback features.....

Also noticed at the picture that the SD40 have buttons for 4 variations, 1 fill, 1 break and 1 start button. Where are the rest of the controls to f.ie. intro, more filltypes etc. hidden?
Have to take another look after cleaned my glasses.

Touch screen is your friend

Ahhh, of course. I got blinded by the pic and did not see...

My prediction: regardless of what it is, they will show a prototype, then take several months of promised release dates, then release it, then start with the updates that should have been done before it was released. Give it a minimum of a full year before it begins to be ready for real time use.
This is not really a guess. This is what their track history shows, with both the Audya and the SD7 and the Midjay Pro.
I wish it were not this way, but I've given up on them. Life is too short at my age to be be a beta tester.
If I sound a little disgruntled, well, I am. I stuck with the Audya until it was finally ready, but gave up on the SD7 after having it six months without being able to depend on it, and without it doing things that were advertised and promoted...and promised.
Burn me once, your fault. Burn me twice, I should have know better. Burn me three times--it ain't gonna happen.
I sincerely wish AJ the best and hope he can get them straightened out. He works really hard at it.

If it is the Audya replacement, I'll go for it! Will sort out the bugs as we go. The Audya is just THAT advanced...

The SD9 Pro has exactly the same buttons/sliders and touchscreen interface as the SD7....

Differences so far, speakers, number of keys, wheels vs joystick..


It might actually just be an SD7 with 76 keys...

Guess the missing speakers and added 15 keys make it a PRO.

But,
it looks very nice, size seems OK, and maybe it's a great keyboard for those of us that mainly play by use of styles?
Speaking of styles, Ketron Italy are not too busy make addon styles, but AJ sure do a desent job for Ketron users.

Looking forward to more info, time will show.

I'm very interested on the weight, I hope it's less than 25 lbs 😉
I'm a lightweight guy.
