Dear Friends:

I am looking to try out new used arranger keyboard after many year with Yamaha & Korg. A lot of my friends refered me to the Technics KN-7000. Well, I also have a friend that wants to sell me a used Ketron XD-9 keyboard.

I would like to hear your opinion on this keyboard.

1. How does it compare to the old X-1 keyboard?
2. How does it compare to the SD1 or SD1+?
3. Can it play SD1 or X-1 style pattern?
4. If the keyboard does not come with the HD, can I install a generic laptop HD into it? If so, where can I download the additional style and sound that comes
with the HD when purchase directly from Ketron. Does Ketron still sell the HD for the XD-9?

5. What is the fair value market price of a used XD-9? Is it worth the money or should I save the money to buy the new Aduya or even the old SD1 keyboard?

6. How does it compare to other brand of keyboard in the same price range?

I am looking forward to hear your comment. Thanks in advance.
