If you buy a professionnal keyboard, you want all professional!
Sometimes, I'm very not happy, when i see that 256 Mo ram and powerful processors cost few dollars, and in a professional keyboard as SD1, they have a very limited memory for the OS, And they are searching how doing new features in this small memory.
and 16 Mo for the Sampler!! Why 16 ??? I give you more Money Mr ketron!! Why 16? 256!
The polyphony ... same thing...
the technology exists! and standards evolute.
And if you say that it's not possible (I can understand)... The SD1 can plays wav files...
Why not let us play a big wav file of a song... without charging into memory, such as a computer...? and bybye the CD player...
OK OK OK OK sory for my english

Hello Dan ,
The way Ketron utilizes the hard drive is very unique , even to this day .
48megs dedicated to the sound ROM . Soon 4.0 will add more and better sounds "Free" . They have talked about upgrading the polyphony to 128 .
I did play 4.0 at winter NAMM show . I think SD1 owners will be very , very happy .
I think the next keyboard Ketron makes will utilize a 20/40 gig hard drive and have longer audio recording via the hard drive .
