Many are asking about the 'secrets' of the Gold package so I figured I'd share on this thread as well:-
The demos created where done using just the content of the SD7 with AJAMSONIC package (or Gold Pack) and multi-track was NOT implemented (else that would be a demo for sound/sequencing and not styles/Style modeling as we want to show).
Style play, lead voice play and occasional use of the STYLE MODELING (which allows you to bring in Piano, Guitar or Brass/Synth .. etc melodies into the style) is what was used. The Piano (Grand) heard in the beginning of the style TRADING POP (as an example) and towards the end is played live with the right hand! If you pay attention, I had to STOP playing while I call in the MODELLING parts on the screen - which is why when you hear say the distortion guitar part, there is no 'lead voice like Piano ...etc being played at that same time - since I had to stop playing and reach out to the screen to dial in the part! If you also listen carefully, there are times when because I change chords a little 'late', the guitars do not quit 'follow', but that's the 'cost of playing live with any Arranger Keyboard!
These demos can be created by any end-user using the tools on board and so they are an accurate representation of the instrument - once this package is installed. Without the Gold Package, you won't have access to some of the new sounds that are incorporated into the STYLES and STYLE MODELLING feature so ... as you know with the AUDYA series - you can take KETRON's current GUITAR-1 model and replace the instrument with one of the new sounds from the Gold Package .... the notes played are the same (same player) but the instrument is changed. Balance out the volume, add a little reverb and chorus, pan some instruments left and right so no speaker 'feels' too busy and use any of the new Gold Package styles, and you have what you hear in the demos.
Pretty simple actually .... and of course, you have to put in some feeling as you play because the SD7 utilizes your 'expression' with the (ART) sounds too.
This video shows a little of what we did in terms of re-balancing voices and using the STYLE MODELLING as you play styles:-

Hope this explains it ... a little better at least?
