SD 1, chapter 2
Well, I have read all the brochures they gave me yesterday and so can add a few things to the SD 1 features.
The SD 1 has a semi-weighted keyboard (with velocity and aftertouch) with 12 response curves (6 fixed and 6 programmable); functions included are portamento, legato, harmony and octave. The pitch bend wheel and the modulation wheel can be assigned to parameters like wha-wha, bend, LFO, DCA, cut off, morphing and rotor. There are 128 user voices to save the sounds you may have modified and 128 programs (with 4 sounds each) for the right section, with velocity switch, cross switch and morphing between sounds. The right section has also a second voice, which can be programmed and stored within a program. There are more than 1000 percussive sounds with 24 drum sets plus another 24 drum sets completely programmable, eventually with external samples (in .wav format). Each style has 3 intros, 3 fills and 3 endings. There are 2 micro inputs (one XRL) with a gain control and 4 main outputs plus 2 micro outputs. The vocalizer has a separate output. The midifile player has an "intelligent transpose" function and it's possibile to sync a midifile with an audio file; midifiles can be converted in karaoke (.kar) format and the lyrics -ca va sans dire- can be read on the display.
Unofficially, the price should be about 3000 euros (something less in USD).
That's all, folks!
