Dave, remember when we were both playing Solton X1? I got mine one day and called you and you said go ahead and take it to work tonight, it's easy to operate.
Worst advice I ever got! smile
Sure sounded great at the time though.

I did the same! I can definitely take this one out - I have a good handle on it ... just need a footswitch.

One thing I don't like is the archaic interface for the foot pedals. Have to tighten and loosen every time you set up and break down.
The FS6 is extremely useful though. You can assign almost anything to it. I used VH on/off, Fill/break, Sustain, and various others. As I have lost most feeling below my knees because of neuropathy, I am now trying to limit myself to two or max three foot switches, so I don't have to look to see my feet.

I'd be just fine with a single. I use sustain, and harm on/off only. I'm sure AJ will come up with something .... Fran and I were just talking about making one. That connector should only be a few bucks, and it's got to be a relatively easy mod. Until that time - I assigned a soft button on the bottom of the screen, similar to the way the SX900 offers extra soft buttons.

My idea all along, don't know why Tony got so upset about stating the obvious.

John ... So Deanne says lets get back to Ketron subjects - well, Bachus starting talking about Ketron, and yes, went off the path talking about a possible arranger from Italy which prompted a question from zuki, which Bachus then answered ...
I just didn't think that either of them going off the path was worthy of Bachus being told to "Get a life" ... As I said - not the first time going off track has happened on this board, won't be the last ...
Am I being a little oversensitive right now about how people are responding to each other, perhaps I am ... but I don't consider that a bad thing JMHO

Now, how about that SD7 ?!? keys

Thanks Bachus,
Something to look forward to.


P.s probably shouldn’t have posted a response, but if someone posts something that I find useful,I have the good manners to say “ Thank you”

Hi Dave,
getting a bit confusing, so SD7 is additional to the sx900?

If so, good for you.

Plain jealous that we don’t have an AJ over here, or I’d be tempted to get a module.
Unfortunately the people that used to sell Ketron here, were not very reliable.
Can’t understand why they never really took off over here.

Sorry, but I for one disagree with that statement, if it’s played by a PRO,
Don M’s expertise makes any keyboard he’s owned sound like a backing band including Yamaha’s.
