I have all the owned all models of Ketron beginning with the SD-1 Plus Audya. They have all been purchased thru Frank Vantresca via AJ (distributor). Excellent support. All the Ketron models have been Ajamsonic upgraded. I have never had any issues with a Ketron product and they are truly way ahead technologically than anything on the market.

By comparison I have a Yamaha Genos and have a preorder for a Yamaha SX-900. All these instruments are absolutely amazing but Ketron is by far the most advanced. I've never had any problems with making amazing music on any of these keyboard brands. There are absolutely no bad choices out there.

I believe in investing in the new technology. I want to be a good cog in the wheel of technological advancement and keep these manufacturers in business. I find that the Genos is a little heavier than I would prefer. The 76 key Genos has been the only option up until the introduction of the smaller and lighter SX-900.

I find that there are good things included in all new models of the Yamaha line of Arranger keyboards. I simply like to invest in the best tools I can afford to create my music. I see the fruition of the joy these instruments bring to me and my audience.

Thanks for all the things that you do.

Definitely agree with that.

Rikki, had the same problem with my sd2. I had the sd40 for a while...and though it sounded good...it didn’t match the Audya for sound quality. Found out from AJ that the Audya was the only keyboard Ketron made that used uncompressed .wav files. I could definitely hear a difference between the two.

Hi Mitch,
I ended up replacing my Sd2, haven’t been game to update the current one.
Be interesting to see if it still works, haven’t used it in a couple years or so.

It goes back quite a few years when mine died during update, actually heard it had happened to a couple of other owners as well.

Have nothing against Ketron products, but unfortunately we don’t have an AJ ,
over here the Ketron s were really badly supported , doubt things have improved.
