Hi
I don't like to advise performers on keyboards as I am only a hobbyist.

Reason I went for the SD1+ instead of a midjay, is that I wanted a full fledged arranger keyboard ( or module). The midjay doesn't have the same style creation functions as the sd1 & for me that was important.

I spent the time & read both manuals so that I could compare the features & functions of each.
If the midjay had of had all the arranger functions, sampler etc that the sd1 has, I would have bought it in a flash. A module midied to my digital piano would have suited me better. For me there were too many compromises. It depends on the individual what functions they require. I think I downloaded the manuals from one of these sites. http://www.ketronus.com/ http://www.ketron.it/home/

The drums on the sd1+ are brilliant.
You can incorporate drum loops into a user style via drum 2.
You can edit & remap the drums.
You can mix n match style parts to create new styles.


Take the time to check out the differences between the midjay & the sd1. The midjay also has functions that the sd1 doesn't have.

best wishes
Rikki
