Glenn,
I am sorry but I have to confess that I sold my SD1 (and my XD3 too).
Right now I am playing the 9000 pro and the Tyros and am very happy with them both; I really wish that Ketron could solve all the problems mentioned in this and other threads, but I guess that we'll have to wait the new model (due out next spring) to see how it works.
Compared with the SD1, the Tyros has:
- similar or better styles
- much better sounds (no noise whatsoever, with real studio quality and crystal clear high frequencies)
- much better OS
- much more friendly and intuitive interface
- better hardware quality.
I still hope that Ketron will surprise me in the future but for now...I put my money where the best value is.
Sorry guys...
