With my interest for the sd90 getting in the final stages..

- can you use the fs13 pedalboard with the sd90?
>>>AJ:- Yes.

Whats the quallity of the pedalboard
>>>AJ:- Very durable ... many pedals are out there going 20+ years!

And is there enough room between the pedals to prevent mistakes..
>>>AJ:- Depends on how wide/big your feet are but on average ... yes. :-)

- can you get a commercial powersupply as a backup for the official power supply.
>>>AJ:- Yes. Any 9V dc 400mA - 1200mA adaptor will work.

I plan to use the sd90 not only in my home studio with the kronos
But also in my living room for preparing and creating styles and performances..

-can you play styles and a midi file at the same time? (Just like on yamaha)

>>>AJ:- Not independently ... unless when using the sync feature.

Thanks for the answers...

This makes the 13 pedal probably my choice
Also happy its easy to get an extra power supply..

Need to find out aboit the sync feature in the manual..
Altough the manuals could use some work...

Don't forget to check tip polarity on power supply as well..

The more i read, the more questions arise...

There are GM voices, which can be used in styles
But can i edit them inside the style
Or is there a way to edit a single (gm) voice and save it?

Its hard to figure these things out witouth the actuall instrument..

I guess this is kind of important for me, being able to edit the voices i use in styles

Bachus,

I haw not SD90 but SD40 and in this module you can changej
voices in Style like you wish.Sems in SD90 can be done to...

One other thought on this although I haven't tried it. When in the edit mode for a voice there are two options at the bottom. "Factory Restore and Factory Overwrite." That makes it sound like you could overwrite the factory voice with whatever changes you made and then you would be able to use that modified sound in a style. Thoughts?

100% agree with your thoughts on overwriting a factory sound - Exactly why we haven't tried the earlier suggestion. Even though this video was done on SD40, it works the same on SD90 regarding user voices.. https://youtu.be/TuyCHsfSrSE

The catch is accessing the user voices in a style. That seems to be the missing piece for what you would like to do.

Whenever buying a power supply, check for pos vs neg tip polarity along with other specs. They are not made all the same..

Couple more comments - First, I don't agree with the term "GM" voices. To me, I instantly think of GM as in General MIDI. Not the case in the world of Ketron. This isn't what you are looking for I only share it in the event you haven't see it. It shows more about editing a voice on SDxx. https://youtu.be/be5xI9G_ugc

From your comments, it sounds as though you would like to go one step below what is offered and change the components that make up what Ketron calls a GM Voice. I'm wondering how much is terminology in the disctussion?

I'm making up this example and didn't really look at the SD90 when I typed this. If you take a Ketron GM voice that is made up of let's say two sounds(voices). Let's say Jazz Organ. On the main screen, that is all you see. However, if you go into edit mode you see that that sound is composed of two other sounds let's just say it's organ1 and organ2. Now, you can change a number of things regarding both of those sounds and how they interact to make up the Jazz Organ sound (GM Voice). How different is that from looking at an edit screen and instead of combining organ1 and organ2 the screen is labeled Part A, Part B, or some other description allowing you to mix those elements together to create a new sound or modify an existing sound?

As you can probably tell - We don't do much voice editing other than something as simple as change reverb level, perhaps a little detuning or chorus effects. With hundreds and hundreds of sounds at our fingertips just don't find a need to change them all that much. But I do know some folks that are very deep into voice creation/editing. What do some of the other manufacturers offer in this area and what do they call the various components of a sound/voice?

Simpy save revoiced style like User Style and change a name of Style.Shuld work.

Folks,

You cannot use a User voice within a style or midifile ... and here is why.

Due to the design implementation of USER VOICES, you can have up to 3 individual voices/tracks which make up 1 USER VOICE. With the right hand/lead voice, you simply play and even though you 'see' this as a voice, it is actually 3 voices which are being played on 3 Midi tracks. Now the Arranger/Style has a maximum of 10 tracks it can use out of 16 and the Midifile engine has a maximum of 16 tracks.... if you edit a voice which uses 3 individual voices (let's say), then you will run out of tracks in either case when you want to use a bunch of USER VOICES within either a style or midifile.
Just imagine you have 3 USER VOICES you want to use for Chord 1, Chord 2 and Chord 3 ... (that is already 3 X 3 = 9 tracks in voices ALONE ...) but the ARRAGNER has a max of 10 tracks... what/where do the other tracks go (Drums (2 tracks), Bass ... etc)? This is th problem which stems from the way we route the signal on KETRON products. To change it would require a hardware modification.

Hope this explains it better.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you all!

AJ

So much was clear to me...


But it should be possible to edit the gm voices inside the Styles?
Just dont see how?

Can't be done due to hardware limitations.

Maybe some cc messages can be added inside the style's track within the instrument or other pc tools?

I have to correct my previous post. I did NOT use USER VOICES to replace voices within a style - I was replacing OTS voices with USER-VOICES. Sorry for the confusion.
