I just bought a new SD2 and connecting it up to my Roland RD700Sx stage piano.
I connected the midi in on the SD2 with midi out on the RD700sx.I then added an RCA cable to run from L & R on the SD2 to the Roland KC350 amp.

I noticed the SD2 doesnt have a midi out.It does have a midi thru.

The SD2 sits on the left side of the piano.The LED light comes on.Where I've got problems is getting the piano to show to SD2 sounds.I got to the 1st diagram on page 61 of the Roland owners book and then the rest of the explanation in the books doesnt make sense.There are even 3 sections covering adding a sound module in the book.

Here is the link to the RD700SX owners book:

If anyone could make sense out of it I'd really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

We already discussed that in another thread. The RD cannot "show the SD2 sounds". Do you expect the Ketron sounds to appear on the Roland display? No instrument is able to do that. The Roland RD is not designed as a controller keyboard, so when Roland describes how to connect a sound module they assume you can change the sounds on that module directly. This is not possible on the SD2, so you can only try to do it by changing sounds on the Roland which happen to have the same bank/program change midi messages as some sounds on the Ketron, or use e.g. an ipad app to change the Ketron sounds.
