Hi Gunnar,

Yes, the new KETRON FUSION looks interesting indeed.

The moment I glanced at the Scale Controls on the left of the keyboard panel, it reminded me of the Yamaha PSR-A5000 which caters to the oriental market.

AJ calls the KETRON FUSION a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic keyboard that supports Oriental Drum Kits, Sounds and Scales.

Here is a demo.

Synth Anatomy has a detailed review with the specs.

More information on the KETRON Facebook Page:

Pricing not set yet. A prototype is being shown at NAMM 2025.



Bartlomieg Krzeminski says the FUSION will be priced lower than the EVENT.
He tries to explain the differences highlighting all the Oriental sounds. The show attendee quickly shuts him off saying , โ€œI really donโ€™t care so much for that.โ€

Bart tactfully laughs and agrees โ€œMe tooโ€ and proceeds to demo the rest of the features.

AJ is streaming live from the KETRON booth at NAMM on Day 3


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuubDEs2gMQ


AJ confirmed the pricing on the KETRON FUSION will be cheaper than the KETRON EVENT 61 which retails for $4900

I think the success of the FUSION will depend on how affordable KETRON can make them, rather than its Oriental features.
