Hi all,

I just bought a second-hand SD9 as a replacement to my SD1, great product so far, but I need some more styles to fit my needs.

I found lots of styles on the web, mostly ".PAT" files, notably from these sources:

- https://www.carillonstudios.com/ketron/
- https://www.planetkeyboard.com/
- https://www.d-o-o.de/

However, they clearly sound not as nice as the factory ones and would need lots of fine-tuning. Even the midi files from d-o-o.de require lots of fine-tuning although they are supposed to be for the SD9.

The only ones I've found which are on par are these ones:

- https://www.ketron.it/en/2013-09-05-15-48-28/519-midjpro-styles/sd7-song-styles

My question is: where can I purchase such high-quality styles?

I found maybe two places:

- https://www.ketron.it/en/products/305-pen-drive-usb/styles-pop-lounge
- https://www.ajamsonic.com/styles.htm

Ketron USB sticks are quite expensive, but do anyone has experience with it? Is this good quality or just bare conversion from other styles?

I just purchased Super Gold Pack #1 from Ajamsonic website to try the quality, but I have no clue how this will work. I paid the stuff via Paypal but no confirmation whatsoever from Ajamsonic, just Paypal saying it's going to be sent. The contact form on the website is not functioning. Has anyone experience with this site? How does this work? I've noticed we need to enter serial number, but I forgot to enter one, it says N/A on my order.

Generally speaking, I think that in 2020 sending USB sticks like Ketron is doing via mail is outdated honestly. If it's a matter of copyrights, there are other ways.

My last question is about SSD. I have a spare 250GB at home that I could use for my SD9. Can I just plug it inside the keyboard like I would do in a computer? Or do I really need to buy such a kit: https://www.ketron.it/en/products/304-kit/kit-ssd-240gb?

Regards,
Jerome

Yes,you need that kit for another SSD,

At the bottom there is a cover,SSD to put it in there,

The Add on packages are serial number specific, and there is no way to install the new sounds/styles without the serial number. I notice the date on this post - maybe you've gotten a better answer by now?

I received not better answer so far. However, I got a mail from Ajamsonic and I could send my serial number.

What puzzles me, how do I get the stuff? Is it shipped from USA to Switzerland via mail? I find it unfortunate since I probably want to buy more of it if this is good.

No one has experience with USB sticks from Ketron?

As I understand from talks with AJ, he will mail you a USB pen drive, and you load it yourself. I can vouch for his integrity - if he says he'll send it ... HE'LL SEND IT. Promise.

Great, thanks a lot!

Yep, got mine Thursday.

Hi Jerome!
I bought seven USB pen drives from Ketron for my SD90, and they have high quality styles.
But you can also easily change the internal styles in "Live Modeling"

Hi Fozzie,

Good to know, did you buy the ones for SD9 specifically or also the one for SD7? I mean did you buy these ones here: https://www.ketron.it/prodotti/28-tastiere-elettroniche/sd9

or also these: https://www.ketron.it/prodotti/28-tastiere-elettroniche/sd7


Best,
Jerome

Hi Jerome!
I bought Audya Styles vol. 1-6, and International Styles vol. 1
