I played with the sd9 pro for 2 hours at musicstore.. (as everyone was standing in line today tomtest out the Genos, Americans just can’t imagine how popular arrangers are in Europe)
And yet again, i fell in love with the style moddeling and launchpad features... its so easy and so innovative and so much fun creating new styles from existing patterns. And even tough yamaha and korg have comparable features, they just don’t work as well as on the Ketron.
Knowing there will obviously never be an 88 key totl arranger for a decade or so, i decided that whenever there is an SD9 pro module, i will buy into it and combine it with the Nord Stage 3 (i want to go back to a single keyboard setup) and my Macbook vst setup, for the best of all worlds...
The SD9 is definately the best arranger (altough i think the pa4x is the most complete instrument, and Genos has the best sounds)
Unless someone starts selling high quallity 88 key arrangers...
Back on user styles for the sd9, create them yourself, its easy and fun by just combining patterns...
