If so I'd like to hear more about it? Features, sounds, styles, navigation, LaunchPad, etc ...

Thanks for posting this Donny, I'd like to know the answer to this myself, including a comparison between the SD60 as well (if possible). I can't find anything on the SD60 apart from the 1 demo at it's launch.

Danny....The Sd9 launchpad looks like a really interesting creative feature hope to find out more about it and how it can be used.

Exactly that. I know it's not the same feature but if it's as easy and great to use as Style Modelling feature, then it will be fantastic.

Anything that will let the player customize styles
which of course is the backbone of any arranger kb EASILY to change the boredom and repetitiveness of today's style play is a big deal........
Ketron is trying to address this with launchpad and I want to investigate it more also. My only concern watching this demo is the difference in hearing the audio parts vs the midi parts?

I think where ketron shines is their module versions..

I think currently the ultimate setup might be a Roland Fantom+ketron SD90+mainstage/vst..



I played the sd9 a few times..
Great keybed..
Love love love the launchpads..
Its a perfect tool for minimalistic accompaniments..
One base, 4 drum patterns and 4 guitar patterns. And 3 solo’s ..
It definately takes a different approach, and thinking out of your comfort zone..
But the results will be amazing, much more live then the standard accompaniment
If you like using multipads, like i do .. (for example having 4 multipads with different guitar strumming)
The you will also love the sd90
Ketron makes the best arrangers..

However
The ketron voices are okay, but slightly trail the other Totl arrangers..
Also hugely dissapointing is that you can not edit the GM voices used in the styles..
And then there is the disputable reputation of Ketron Italy..
But AJ and Kurt really put a lot of effort in the US division of Ketron.
We also have a very reliable dealer here in Holland..
