Heyyy, they forgot to add "tilt up" screen.

Yes is much more!
The "PRO" have this:

USER AUDIO DRUMS - The system ensures the compatibility with User Audio Drums @ from Audya series and offers also to the user the possibility to import new custom Audio Drums into the machine.

LIVE GUITARS - A huge Library with more than 100 new Audio Live Guitars has been provided

PADS!! (like Korg) - The Launchpad is a new exciting environment of the SD9 giving top possibilities in terms of composing and modern live performing. This amazing application lets you combine up to
12 Pads for a single Scene, where each pad may sound as an Audio Drum, Bass, Guitar or Percussion Groove taking advantage of the internal Modeling or even any external Wav file imported into the machine.

PATTERN EDIT - New Style Editing function, with up to 128 recording bars with the capability to program a new style from scratch or to personalize an already existing style.

700MB RAM - A massive memory size of up to 700 Mbyte (Korg pa4 have only 400Mb)

USER DRUM KITS!! - ... Thanks to a new Sampler Editor menu, the user is finally able to create into the machine his own Multisample instruments or Drum sets and store them as resident.

USER STYLE MODELING!! - ...you can also import into the Modeling your own custom Midi sequences to be handled within the arrangement. With Modeling, style customisation has never been so easy and creative.

Memory is not 700 MByte, but 700 MBit... Witch is +/- 87 MByte instead of 700

Is Mbyte!!

or else wrote wrong in the brochure... Mbyte is MB and not Mb. But is strange give us a Megabit in Memory Ram!

i don't see this as the new flagship, to replace Audya
what's main improvement over the Audya?
and it's cheaper than Audya? then why buy Audya if it's more expensive and inferior? hmmm....

I learned today that the .KST style format from the SD7 will transfer to the SD9Pro. AJ did not have pricing or exact time frame for availability.

Now we know what the SD9PRO can do,so give us now demo's so we can see and hear how the sd9 sounds and a price and delivery time.Let's hope before the summer(may/june).No one has taking pictures or shoot film in Frankfurt?(Our German friends perhaps)

I searched and searched for demos and I didn't find anything for now
We can only wait now...
