... Miami (FL).

We have scheduled a workshop for Ketron products in Miami FL. This workshop will indeed cover a lot of grounds but is designed specifically for current non Ketron users since we will focus on what Ketron has that we believe is not available on other equivalent products.

Ofcourse we will be able to answer some questions at the end (from anyone) and remember - all are invited so do not miss this great oppertunity!!

Location: Court Yard (by Mariott. 5001 North Federal Highway, Fort Lardale, FL (954-771-8100) ).

Time: Nov 11th, 2003 from 8am-8pm (actual workshop block hours will be determined at a later date).

Thanks,

AJ

I know Shreveport is out of the question, but how about Dallas or Houston? Little Rock? Baton Rouge? New Orleans?

That for Houston TX is in the works and will be disclosed once we have the ball on the role. We are working with the dealers and others in the TX area to come up with something interesting.

Thanks,

To AJ,

I am hoping that Ketron will add a couple of USB ports to the keyboard. This will be fantastic for backing up tons of midi files on an external disk drive. A flash drive can also be plugged in for a quick program. A CD-RW drive would also be a good addition.

Thanks

AJ,

What is Ketrons approach to upgrading their SD-1 or maybe some new Ketron models versus the new KB's eg: Tyros, Pax1pro etc coming on the market...?

Dedicated effects busses for:

1-Drums
2-Bass
3-Other backings (separate inserts for a Guitar and a Synth)
4-Lead sound
Multiple tracks patchable to the buses, like TRITON or FantomS, not like YAMAHAs.

and then Two ambience effects, i.e., Reverb and Delay/Chorus.
-Overall EQ/Compressor.

EQ for each track


---
Ethnic sounds and percussion
---
POWERFUL Sequencer,
-ability to loop each track independently
-ability to change tracks while recording, like in Roland XPs and FantomS
-Two MIDI outs/INs
-Nice MIDI mixer and editor, like in FantomS
---
Sampler that's compatible with SoundFont.
---
Styles with 3 drum tracks
---
Groove function like PSR 740
---
Export Each track as Wav file
---
Ability to use ACID loops in style tracks.
---
32 MB FLASH RAM for samples.

Shakil....are these your wish list items? or do you know that Ketron will impliment some of these features in upcoming units?

I look forward to seeing a demonstration / clinic in the New York or Philly area AJ. Once and for all I can then finally lay eyes and ears on a ketron and see what it is all about. I definitely plan on being there when it happens.

I live in Indianapolis. I would like to try before I buy. Where can I do this? Chicago is only 2.5 hours away. Any up there to play with?

Dnj:
That's my wishlist, IF Ketron would do all those things, I will consider buying it.
