I think KN_Fan is most definitely correct here. I know I've used the Ketron-US web site's demos for examples in the past referring to muffled sound.

Dan01, here's the URL you are using for the SD1 Acoustic Drummer demo:

http://www.ketronus.com/sounds/SD1_5.mp3

(This appears to be 48K mp3.)

Here's the same demo found on the Ketron web site in Italy:

http://www.ketron.it/mp3/SD1/Ac_drummer.mp3

(This is a 128K mp3)

On my system here at work (and to my ears), there is a major difference in sound and clarity. Enough for me to wonder out loud, "Why is Ketron-US using those samples for their flagship keyboard?"

I will assume that Ketron Italy would not allow you to link to their samples.(?)

Your demo sounded great though and the new web site looks good.
