Arranger & Player With
long experience and passionate research, the KETRON SD7 keyboard finally integrates the two worlds Arranger and Player as never before. It does not matter if you want to make music with your friends in DJ or Karaoke style or if you prefer to improvise something with your hands: SD7 really does help you both.
A renewed Sound generation, an impressive Audio library, a revolutionary Modeling system, Styles in the best KETRON tradition, modern multimedia equipment and great ease of use, make the SD7 a powerful and irreplaceable instrument for contemporary music entertainment.

Styles

The SD7 has an innovative and professional Arranger section with 260 Styles that cover the most popular music genres in modern live entertainment.
The Styles use rhythm-like impromptu libraries with over 200 sound recordings perfectly synchronized with Clock Midi, with a great tolerance range even at high tempo variations (up to 30% – / + on nominal Bpm) and more of 300 Grooves of Latin percussion. The Arranger consists of 4 sections ABCD, 4 Fill In, 4 Breaks, 3 Intro, 3 Ending, To End with other control functions such as Reintro, Key Start-Key Stop, Count In, Restart. There are also 5 User Tab keys for custom assignment of additional functions.
The accompaniment includes a Bass line plus 5 Accordions with a great variety of rhythmic-harmonic designs and 2 lower ones. There are 3 orchestral VARIATIONS that can be easily activated-deactivated during execution to get more simplified arrangements and the VARITONE device with subtle tone variations on Guitar accompaniments. You can assign 4 Voices to the Right part (Song) as well as match it to the 4 ABCD movements.
The keyboard Arranger system is very open and allows you to freely change the stamps, volumes, and effects of each style and back it up as USER STYLE to create a custom Styles library without altering the original ones of the home. In the MY LIST section, the user can also group and store his favorite 64 Styles by further facilitating the search.
Great attention has been given to orchestral harmonization. The wind instruments in particular are handled with disjointed harmonic lines in order to obtain a more realistic sound impact of the section. The Unplugged family, on the other hand, proposes styles with extremely basic arrangements, entrusted to the Guitar alone or the Piano with Percussions only, an acoustic environment ideal for improvising or inserting other musicians.

Style Modeling
Style Modeling
STYLE MODELING is a powerful device of the SD7, the world’s only one in the arranger keyboards sector, which involves the selection and activation of hundreds of Audio Drums, Grooves, Basses, Plans, Guitars and Orchestral Sections The internal library of the instrument and their assignment to the various sections of the Style.
Building a personalized arrangement by navigating with Modeling is really a stimulating experience. The selection of the arrangement parts can be carried out while the machine is in operation and therefore the use of Modeling is easy and intuitive. You can discover unbeatable combinations and combinations between different genres by interchanging with perfect Rhythmic Sync, Latin Groove, Low Line or Accordions. Once the search is complete, everything can be saved as User Style.
Play Modes
The keyboard provides several modes of execution. If you are a pianist, you can use the PIANIST Mode to play with your usual piano technique while controlling the Arranger. If you prefer to play the Bass in Manual mode without giving up the Arranger then you probably should choose the BASSIST mode that uses a particularly sophisticated logic to control the two-handed harmonies.
In addition to facilitated predispositions for the Midi connection, new dedicated menus have been developed for the ACCORDION.
In the CLASSIC mode, with the aim of a completely manual execution, the accordionist can arrange full orchestrations in concert with 2 voices to the Bass, 3 Chords and Voice to Song, all memorable on Registration.
In STYLE mode, however, with the Arranger controlled by the Left Hand, thanks to the Bass To Chord function, the accordionist can set automatic chords and shades usually not provided in normal accordion technique, and then experiment with new expressive forms in light and jazz music .
There is also an ORGAN mode for controlling both manual and manual bass using Bass Midi Pedal (Mod. KETRON PMK 8) to reproduce an executive condition in classic organist style.
