AJ, perhaps you can answer this

Any information as to when the Ketron SD1000 or MidJPro will hit the stores ?

I was planning to buy the SD-2 to go with vArranger. Now I see that there is a newer model SD-1000 mentioned on their website
Ketron Musikmesse 2012

Spec wise it does seem like an upgrade over the SD-2.

And the MidJPro is with a touch screen... interesting

Last time I asked the factory they said around Autumn 2013

Someone told me that the SD1000 will be there at the end of the year...

Maybe it's true?

...at the end of THE year...

Of WHICH year ?

Ketron is always a bit, hmmmmm, slow... ?

I too am hoping for a 2012 release... When the product was shown in Musikmesse this year, we tend to expect it this year. Unlike concept cars which they show in the current year and wont make it to the masses for a long long time

I understand that Ketron is a small company .. so things would happen slowly.

I gave a listen to the demos of the SD2. They knock your socks off when you compare it to other modules especially in the acoustic tones and drums.

I`m sure the SD1000 will sound even better.

I am keenly awaiting this amazing gear from Ketron
