Henry01,

The manual I'll be writing will NOT be a final product of KETRON, rather - something I'll be doing on my own (similar to what I did for the X-series units).

I just had my SD1 this weekend after a long wait ... [it might have been biked from NY to Phili] <- (a joke). I have so far spent a total of over 8hrs with it not figuring out obvious style and sound operations but rather trying to access the 'hidden' features ... and I think I did get access to a lot, e.g the audio wave file syncapate to MIDI & arranger - rather cool! I have actually been able to download some wave files off the web and sync these up to the POP1 & Latin patterns - sounds like I had Janet Jackson and Maria Carrie in my house (wish I physically did!).

GEORGE: Your destination selection (in the SD1 unit) is determinded by what RAM style you are in PRIOR to entering the PATTERN EDIT mode. So if you want to edit any pattern (I believe) you will have to select the pattern to be edited (i.e have this pattern as your current selection) prior to pressing the PATTERN EDIT button. The difference with the X1 here is in the PATTEN EDIT mode, the X1 gives you the option of switching b/w patterns (using F6) to determine which pattern you want to edit and selecting the pattern with the SELECT buttons WHILE YOU ARE IN PATTERN MODE, whereas the SD1 does not - you'll have to determine this PRIOR to PATTERN EDIT mode. I will address your other questions via an email to you later today.

Anyone know what the voltage value is for the *RED
*BLACK
*YELLOW

wires from the transformer to the POWERBOARD of the SD1?

Added to the above what about * WHITE (for the X1)?

Thanks for the info.

PS: The manual will cover most of the functions currently supported in OS1.0a.
