Hello, end of 4th quarter means DECEMBER 2018?

Make that 2019 somewhere if you take into account Ketrons track record for living up to promised released dates...

Which is okay with me.. as long as the product is rockstable...

3 months later and still nothing on their website
I guess we should not expect a 2018 release then

A compressor works as a limiter
Thats something totally different then having compressed samples.

The compressor in the high end arrangers is used to give the different instruments in the mix some breathing room to identify themselves.. if your mix is cluttered, a compressor might be a nice tool to use.

Having compressed samples, doesn’t have to be bad, if the compression is lossless... however most older forms of compression like for example MP3 streams are not losless..so you loose actuall sound information..


Another step arranger keyboards need to make is stepping up from 16 bit 44.1khz consumer audio quallity, to the 24 bit 96khz pro studio quallity (192 khz is overated)
But this requires in general 3 times the processing power of the current 16bit 44.1 khz
