Sorry at moment the sampler of sd9 is not full ready. But soon you can have a new update with new funtions like realtime filter ecc. Only be wait a little time. As you know Ketron is not big like yamaha and korg, is a litte Italy company. So it's normal the time it's so long.
About the difference from sd9 sd7... there are many video youtube, and manual, but of course the big difference is not only the lanch pad but the live guitars, user audiodrum, the modeling is more big, the hardware is different, the touch screen , new sounds, styles, and much more

Thank you Stefano Bean.

Thats our problem, we don't understand anything they are telling.. Sure it gives you a basic knowledge... but no indepth info.

Not having English Demo's up almost half a year after the launch is what will kill the company Ketron. Its like not wanting to make any money at all.

Hi,
in the moment I'm working with a combination of AUDYA 5(Ajamsonic) and Tyros 4. My idea was to upgrade the T4 to GENOS end of January, because I have a lot of gigs in this month and I don't want to change a running system until I have the time to make all necessary changes.
After checking a lot of YT videos concerning the SD9 launchpad, I'm not so sure, if my decision is the best.
The GENOS impressed me with a lot of new sounds, the assignable controls, 2500 reg files per folder instead of 500, the Revo!drums (which can be used better in MIDI/DAW productions as the AudioDrums) , touch panel, a lot of new styles and the downward compatibility to T4, so I can still use my registrations (hopefully).

What made me think (GENOS): the playlist only invokes registrations, chord riffs cannot be stored or simply used (compared to the launch pad), the sliders are changing the values directly ( a very live-unfriendly behavior).
Even with the Revo!Drums in my opinion the GENOS cannot produce the live-feeling, which I have with my Audya ( or SD9).

So, what to do?

Possible combination are:

T4 / GENOS
or
SD9 / Tyros 5 (used one with 76 keys)

because both will cost nearly the same upgrade price.

Could you give me some helpful advice. I know, its a very personal decision, but every hint is important.

Thanks,
Gerd (from Germany)
