Hi,
Here some news.
I started to implement the auto accompagniment functionnality. My software can read Yamaha styles. played with the Ketron SD2 sounds.
Because yamaha styles are recorded to be played with yamaha sounds, the final result need some adjustment, to play well with SD2.
I am developping a way to make the adjustements for you. You just load a style, and it sound well with the SD2.
After this long developping period, working with the yamaha style format, I start to realise what wonderful feature, if I can play the Ketron paterns with the SD2.
That way, the Ketron SD2 will become a full amazing arranger to play live (and to have fun...)
I tried converted styles from Ketron to Yamaha with StyleWorks, but it was not sounding good as the original.
So, I started to break my brain on the Ketron format. It's very hard to understand how ketron styles are binary coded, but after many days, I can say that I surrely be able to play Natively Ketron styles .... with every params well tuned (effects, volumes, sounds...)
I have an SD1. So I am working with Ketron SD1 styles. (I will look at SD5 styles later, who is the same sound engine than SD2)
