Can anyone help, what cable and software is available for the SD1+ and how good is the software, where can you get in from, can you program setups with the software upload and down load etc.

Hey!
You can find software at http://www.ketron.it/prodotti/dettagli.asp?sezione=5&idProdotto=-3
This is only for transfer in/out with the keyboard HDD.Nothing special with it.Also you will need a driver for the serial port.You can use ketronftp.zip if you use Windows 95,98,Me or a driver from Yamaha for Windows XP at: http://www.yamaha.co.uk/xg/html/software/s_serial.htm
The cable you can find at a local dealer, it looks like this: http://www.thomann.de/de/ketron_pckit.htm
If you are in Europe you can order there.With this cable you can do transfers to your keyboard,also you can access SD1 Synth like a normal Midi interface.That's cool.
For editing a midifile you'll need SD1 Mastering Studio from: http://www.soundcompany.net/sd1/mastering_studio/
This makes all the tweaking very easy.
Also I really recommend you the new EXP pack from AJ...new sounds and styles.
Hope it helps,
Vio

is the mastering studio also good for programing patterns or just for songs midifiles?

HI,
I think it's just for songs not patterns.

Yes..you're right Rikki
It's just for tweaking midifiles.Is not a sequencer but helps a lot.

Hi Vio,
more's the pity.
It would be great if there was software specifically designed for creating & editing ketron patterns.
I thought EMC with the plus package might be useable, but I've had it do some rather strange things when I've saved my edits.

I miss not having list editing , be nice to be able to fix the odd wrong note.

best wishes
Rikki
