Ketron SD 9

KETRON keyboards have always been recognized for their sound quality and the special touch of their arrangements/styles. Following this tradition, KETRON introduce once again a new instrument with unique musical character, new technology, new functions and new state-of-the-art sounds. Now more than ever the SD9 is the right choice for the professional live entertainers, the home studio producers as well as the hobbyist. The SD9 features 2 brand new superb stereo Grand Piano sounds, Classical and Modern, and a new and authentic vintage Electric Piano. With their uncompromised multilayer sampling, long natural decay and very high sound quality, these pianos surpass anything ever offered on an entertaining keyboard. Certainly a main, basic purpose for any professional performance and composition. The SD9 contains also a massive, renewed sound library with new Orchestral Sounds featuring Electric and FM Pianos, Strings and Brass as solo or section, Basses, Synths, Guitars and original tone wheels Organs with true Slow and Fast rotor samples. With their natural length and vibrato, without sampling loops, some of the new solo sounds such as Violin, Flute, Oboe, Soprano, Whistle and Peruvian Flute will let you express an emotional performance like never before.

Now with the SD9, this integration reaches new heights with up to 250 new Audio Drums with Acoustic and Electronic Loops and a stunning variety of more than 400 Latin Percussion Grooves.
