Team,

I have not in anyway forgotten about you (as some have asked) but just been rather busy in major projects. Ketron owners will be happy to know that I will soon be completing the optimization Vocalizer software for the SD1.

X-series:
A while ago, I had sent out some software for the Vocalizer for the X-series keyboards to some dealers (e.g George Kaye) a while ago. This software 'adjusts' the fields of the vocalizer on the X-series keyboards such that:
* Feedback was minimized (barely there and George can confirm this).
* Capability to trigger vocalizer only when complete chord was recognized.
* Capability to HOLD/sustain chord notes until next full chord was played (should be cotained in Rel 3.2 or higher).
* Freeze changes to vocalizer when accompaniment parts/sections are changed.
* Different versions (Male/Female settings) optimized depending on who was going to be the lead singer.

SD1:
I am curently developing a similar software for the SD1 and will be sending this to Dan O and George for review and distribution by end of the week. It will implement similar characteristics to those mentioned above.

This software WILL replace your current VOCALIZER settings, however they will optimize the performance of your Vocalizer (you'll want to store your current settings prior to loading these in should you want to resort to them in the feature).

Please contact the above dealers/me if you're interested (it's free).

UD: I figured out how to hold vocalizer settings while changing accom parts, reg etc on SD1. This will be incoorporated into the SD1 Vocalizer Software.

Thanks,

AJ

PS: Off topic - am I still one of the youngest in the group at 28?
