Hi DonM,
Intended to say in my post, congratulations on your choosing the Ketron Sd5 - glad you're so happy with it. Looks & sounds brilliant on the "You Tube" tutorials. If the SD5 gives you as much satisfaction and long service as my MS40, you will consider it one of your best choices ever.
Thanks Bill (Abacus), for passing on the news, albeit bad about BCK's forthcoming exit from the music scene. I'm so disappointed to hear that - I still believe that with the right pricing and more aggressive marketing of Ketron instruments, especially the SD3, BCK could have had sales galore. It should be easy to market it with the Hard Drive at &1400. After losing Technics, this is a particularly sad day for me. Just hope someone is going to step into the breach.
Best wishes to all,
Tony - Sheffield, UK
