translated in Ketron terminology this means that it probably will be around BUG FREE in about two years time
As a musician be it a home user or a performer I see little point in getting my knickers in a twist about the prospect.

I guess the SD40 option is a better one as apparently most bugs have now been ironed out of the SD7. I am sure that eventually the streetprice of the SD40 module will be around 2000 euros in the shops here. Still a lot of dough though...

Many people here on the forum write about Ketron but how many actually own one and have done so for a considerable period of time ? I know Deane has and enjoys the SD7 while Bernie and Hennie commend the Audya . That's it ???
I am only saying that while the threads seem to imply loads of people are playin a Ketron and cannot wait to have the latest model the truth of the matter is that in the USA but also here in Holland and other European countries ( Italy excepted of course) the use of KEtron arrangers is not half as widespread as one is led to believe reading SZ forum content.
With the many options/models available by Yamaha and Korg this is not surprising in itself. Quality control with yamaha is rigid and (to the best of my knowledge) they have a good customer support. Korg used to be the same though with the arrival of the PA4X , its history of bugs and poor customer communcation I dread to say the same still applies. Ketron to me has always been top of the list as regards poor customer service, sorry AJ.
