Just how many vibes sounds are on this keyboard? I'm looking in the owner's manual/data list and on page 4 there is a "Vibraphon" in bank 0 (A), "Dry Vibes" in bank 1 (B). Then on page 6 under "Presets" it also lists these two. Then on page 8 under "GM voices" there is a "long vibes" in Bank B, and a "soft vibes" in Bank C.

Since I don't know much about midi presets, etc. I assume some of these are duplicate lists of what the presets are organized by category. So how many are there exactly?

I haven't been able to demo one in my town, but can you tell me if the sound of either of these two vibes on the SD-1 are as good as this MP3 sample of the vibes on my Yamaha P120? www.seanbaker.com/vibes.mp3

I just hate when vibes are too bright and have too strong of an attack. I like mine warm and sustaining.

Sean,
the vibes are one of my favorite sounds on the SD1; if you care to listen, I have used that sound on at least two songs on my website:
Anos dourados and Desafinado.
