AJ...

The workshop idea is a good one... it will definitely be well received and should be a win-win for both keyboard players and Ketron.

I am in the Cleveland, Ohio area... where there are loads of keyboard players of all levels. Certainly an appropriate location for a Ketron workshop. There is essentially no Ketron exposure anywhere near the "home of rock and roll". I now own an SD1, but my exposure to Ketron was almost by accident. (I had found that an ebay XD9 seller lived only 10 away, checked it out, purchased it, upgraded to SD1.)

I agree with many of the "complaint list" items, but the one that's been bothering me most lately is the button layout. "Break" and "To End" are both very useful features... and it's so easy to hit the wrong button since they're so small and so close. "To End" should be grouped with intros/endings and out of the way (above display?).

Good luck with the workshop... great idea. And bring it to northern Ohio! We have Guitar Center, Sam Ash, and Lentines. Keep us posted.

BTW, another idea that I'm SURE would be well received and appreceated, is a comprehensive/in depth "How To" video for the SD1.

Thanks,
Glenn
