My opinion about the release of new SD9Pro is it...
Ketron in the first time with Audya, he had to tackle a challenge...
The challenge was to build in a old Hardware and Software as is it Audya, a new generation machine as is the Audio Styles, Direct from disc method etc..
I think now is more easily things for Ketron, because he has new Software (based in Linux), new Hardware more better than Audya, and of course more experience to make better a new Keyboard like SD9Pro...
Therefore I think that Ketron will not be delayed for long time the release of SD9Pro...
Of course I am not sure about this, however its my opinion....

You can try Musicstore they have them in stock

www.musicstore.de

No Ron,Musicstore has no SD9 in stock,the SD9 comes in the month december they said,hopefully with no bugs,and i said it a while ago,come on Ketron,now you must deliver because the new Tyros/Genos is on his way and than the attention goes to that key.Al the dealers say,now you can order the SD9 and than??????............we only can/must wait.I don't understand the philosophy from Ketron.
Give us demo's,make a special website with this new item/sd9,marketing my Italian friends and than you get the attention from the people all over the world.

I guarantee that you'll love it when it's released. Even if it has initial bugs, it will stand out head & shoulders above the rest.

To bad it doesnt have 88 keys.. or extra voices to be layered on a 2nd keyboard..
Also wondering how much dsp has improved, not so much in quallity but also in quantity
700 MB for extra samples, but how accesible will that be?
Will the new superb multipads feature work on top of the styles?

Personally i am missing some limitless encoder knobs for real time controll as well as a touchstriip..

I am convinced the sd9 will be atleast on par with audya,pa4x and tyros 5... but i am also expecting a new tyros next year with lots and lots new functionallity... however, if they offer a verion with 88 high quallity keys, i would blindly buy it, even knowing there will be bugs at release...

Hi Audyaplayer I cant understand what is going on,
I just been on the musicstore website and they say the price is £3403.53 with a delivery date 20/10/2016

I,m not saying your wrong but are Musicstore giving misleading Info

Kind regards

Ron.

Yes Ron,that is not the correct date,last week it was 15 okt,and now 21 okt,they do that so you can order the Sd9 and than you must wait,wait,and wait,the price is also not correct or is it without tax?I got an answer,a dealer from Italy and they also said December and the price is between 3500 a 4000 euro,it is very frustrating that they give us hope on a date and than nothing happens.I,ve got a feeling that the Sd9 comes early november,so let's fingers crossed.

Probably a big fan from Ketron like me,but it is very misleading

Confirmed today - First shipment of SD9's will be in the UK next week. Thats not bad - Ketron did say late summer after all...But I thought it would be longer than this.

As with the last releases Ketron UK offer to refund the difference within the first month if the price lowers once the internet discount merchants get their hands on it.
