Musictech, Logic, and Melody Systems Also Available
Throw away that cumbersome rack of modules, the new Ketron X4 provides an integrated and fully relational synthesizer module all in a single compact unit. By using industry standard MIDI as the primary interface, the Ketron X4 can be used with the huge range of MIDI keyboards, accordions, guitars, wind controllers, and of course, computers. Once connected, to a MIDI controller the X4 takes care of all the various elements used in the production of music: a stunningly realistic Sound generation, Realtime Arranger, Sampler, Sequencer module, 2 multiple functions DSP's, Microphone input, 4 assignable audio outputs, Hard Disk, Vocalizers and Video interface options for karaoke. Being internally connected, all these modules are of course fully interactive. With so many options, editable paramers, and vast setting capability, the X4 becomes the creation of the musician that uses it.
The KETRON SD4 is a pocket size sound module designed for all PC and MIDI applications. Equipped with a new powerful sound engine, including a professional Stereo Grand Piano sound with over 88 notes, huge Orchestral voices such as Saxophones, Brass, Woodwinds, Guitars, Accordions, Organ Digital Drawbars and many others, the SD4 has all the latest features for recording, programming and live performances.
The realism and sound quality of the Solo instrumental Voices on the KETRON SD4 are remarkable - but expected, following in the tradition of the KETRON "Best Natural Sound" heritage. In addition, the SD4 includes very distinctive Audio Drum and Percussion Loops selected from Slow, Jazz, Latin, Acoustic, Traditional and Dance backgrounds.
Used in conjunction with a Computer, Master keyboard, MIDI accordion or MIDI guitar, the SD4 offers an "all-in-one" great sound resource that ban be used to greatly enhance standard MIDI files, as well as for Home and Studio compositions and recordings. Its MIDI capability allows one to control up to 32 MIDI channnels and includes DSP effects such as Reverb, Chorus, Delay and Distortion.
The SD4 can be directly connected to a mobile PC using a USB connection (without need of a separate power supply) or it can be used to interface with Master keyboards lacking in USB ports. The two input MIDI ports allow one to play very high quality sounds while at the same time having an independent MIDI file playing. The SD4 permits one to stack and edit all available tones to get new customized sounds, which can be easily saved and reloaded at any time. Editing these tones is even further simplified by using the special Ketron PC software.
Moreover, by the three potentiometers it is possible to change in real time the Midi file main parameters balancing the volume of the single tracks of the MIDI file or of the Preset sounds that are being used. A very useful function of "Intelligent Transposer" is available for MIDI file playback. This allows the key to be changed without altering the instrument's timbre.
Special configurations with the sound Map (Templates) are provided so the SD4 can easily work with the most commonly used sequencer programs such as Cubase, Logic, Cakewalk, Etc, as well as the complete SD4 Drum Loop Library. Templates and Loop Libraries can be downloaded at no cost.
