Hello,
could you tell me, what are the main advantages of SD1 Plus vs SD1?

thanks

They have the same hardware, but I don't know why KETRON never say it really...

if you take the last OS for the SD1, and take all the styles and the bonus files from the SD1+ HD, you will have an SD1+ (exept some colors buton and silver color disk drive)

here styles and midifiles from the SD1+

I HAVE A REQUEST....

IN THE SD1+ THERE IS A FUNCTION TO SAVE ALL FLASH PATTERN IN A FOLDER...
CAN SOMEONE COPY FOR ME ALL THE FLASH STYLE OF THE ORIGINAL SD1+???
I WILL PUT THEM FOR ALL ON A WEB SERVER...

Dan,

Thanks for these great styles & midis !

It would be great to get the grand-piano sample as well

I got a new switch/display board including the blue and extra red buttons.... as Ketron repaired the display-problems. Now the only thing I need to get a SD1+ is the grand-sample ... am I right ?

Team,

This question has been asked time and time again so let me attempt to answer once more (in a table format).

SD1 (4.0a or higher) :: SD1 Plus

In Production: No :: Yes

LAYOUT : Original :: Modified with
New functions

HD : Standard :: New Sounds,
Styles,
Song Registr
Songs

STYLES : Standard :: Some new in
Flash

VOICES : Depends OS :: Some new/mod

*STEREO GRAND: No :: Yes (Balanced
in SD1 Plus)

* (Refering to the New Stereo Grand Piano developed for the SD1Plus). The original Grand Piano in the SD1 is also Stereo multi samples!!


If you have the SD1 (3.0c or earlier release) you've got the original/standard SD1 sounds (those that were initially released with the keyboard).

SD1 users - installing 4.0a, 4.0b/c (With Sound) gives you the new operational features & sounds currently used in the SD1 Plus (the new tweeked ROM sounds and NOT the new ones on the HD!). These new sounds are limited to just the voices on board (cleaner Electric Pianos, Organs, some guitarts redone etc...) You do NOT have the new Stereo Grand and other great sounds that have been included in the HD of the SD1 Plus.

SD1 users - installing 4.0b/c (with No Sound) gives you all the new operational features of the SD1 Plus BUT you do not have the new 'tweeked' sounds (or those that were re-done, e.g better Stereo Grand Piano [that needs to be loaded once the keyboard is turned on or can be done automatically with Power On Setup] found in the HD, cleaner Electric Piano and Organ voices ....

Also included in the HD of the SD1 Plus are:
* Over 150 Midifiles (some from the XD-series).
* Over 180 Single Registrations for famous songs!!

Hope this clarifies some of the questions.

PS: Some of the best styles yet produced for the SD1 series are ... ON THE WEBSITE and can be purchased from your cloeset dealer. These styles (I can truely say) are some our best 'till date, and are of all types. If you've not visited www.ketron.it within the past month, it may be time to re-visit ... and see what you are missing!!

Thanks,

AJ

Hi AJ, what is 4.0c : a new OS upgrade for SD1?
In Ketron site there is the 4.0b, please tell me if there is any news on Os upgrade.

Thanks

Bye

acima,

4.0c will be released soon. Some minor enhancements/modifications to suit individual playing style.

Thanks,

AJ

Hi AJ,

Is it true that they put a much faster processor in the Sd1 plus so it will operate alot more stable with all the new features that's been added to the machine. That's what the dealer told me yesterday. I don't know if it is a secret or the dealer is not telling the truth.

If they did change the processor I would be really considering buying the Sd1plus, since my Sd1 always gets jammed up or freezes, because I feel the processor cannot handle my samples and the sounds I am using.

Hi, sorry cos I'm a little confused. (I haven't sd-1, just looking for a new arranger, now it looks that sd-1(+) is the best choice).

Can you tell me, does sd-1 (after all upgrades) sound (into your ears) at the same quality as sd1+?
Thanks
