I try to run SD40 with my Tyros5.
Midi conection work only in Acordion mode on SD40.All ather option SD40 ignord.
It's inpasable to modeling intro and ending parts of style.
Swiching betven some main section (A;B;C;D) sometimes work properly,sometimes change section who you dont chouce.Example:
you want to change main variation from D to A,but SD40 change to B or C...
Registration cant remember with wich Intro you want to run a Style.ETC...
In one word,I buy an instrument who I cant trust for 1.500,00 Euro. Dont make the same mistake like I do...

You know, they do this every time they introduce a new model. It generally takes close to a year for them to get it right. It's a shame, because there is so much to like about the sounds and features.

I played with one for several hours....

None of the bugs you say where ominent...
I played it from both a 2 manuall organ (roland) as well from a stagepiano... both modes worked well..

Are you sure you are using the latest software version?

Bachus,

here are not OS software update at all...( see Ketron official site)
Do you try to run SD40 in Standard Midi mode? That mode shuld be universal for all Master Midi kayboards.Not for Ketron...only Acordion Midi mode.
Do you try to modeling Styles? Haw about intro end ending parts?
Haw registration works?They store all current setings of board ?No they dont...
And general question:haw cen this unfinished instrument leave a factory and be sold on market?What Ketron do with my money and what I can do with hes instrument?Wait year's for update...?

Thanks for your response. I think I will wait and see before I get the SD40. I have a Ketron SD4. It is updated to the latest firmware but still I can't use its USB connection. Too many issues. I hear that the Ketron 1000 has a bug and because of it many owners can't power the unit from USB only. I remember one forum member say once that he likes the Italian design as long as it is not made in Italy.
