Hi, I have a ketron X1 oriental and I find it the best in the oriental keyboards market. the sounds and styles are the best I have heard. I used to play on a gem wk2 oriental but when the x1 came out the gem wk2 looked like a toy.

The only problem that the x1 oriental have is the high price, not all arabic musicians can buy it.

There is some rumors that eddy (the guy that made the x1 oriental concept) is now preparing a new oriental program much powerful, I don't know what it will be, but better than the oriental program that we have is something interresting. One of the guys that works with eddy said that they are working on a big project that covers all oriental music styles and sounds(WAW).

Does the SD-1 have the oriental possibilities of the x1? I saw the picture you put here but I don't like the color and the absence of speakers.

I think the coming year will bring good stuff to the arranger keyboard market.
