INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the new KETRON SD 2 Orchestral Wizard. The SD
2 instrument represents an interesting integration to the sector of sound
modules in terms of compactness and musical performance.
Not only does it avail of all the sound acoustics necessary for the perfect
reproduction of musical files in General Midi standard and Kar format, but it
also has other additional sound banks with an incredible variety of orchestral
Voices: Grand Piano Stereo over 88 notes, Acoustic and electric guitars, Brass and saxophones of
unique quality, sampled organs and Digital Drawbars section, Accordions, Bass, Strings, acoustic
and electronic Drum Sets and so on. The SD 2 unit is also equipped with a considerable number
of audio Drum and Percussion Loops split-up into a very wide variety of musical styles, which
definitely make SD 2 stand out from all other similar models on the market.
The applications of SD 2 are best exploited in combination with a MIDI player (such as KETRON
MIDJAY for example) or with sequencers on computer ( Logic®, Cubase®, Cakewalk® and others),
but it can also be connected to Master keyboards or multi-purpose keyboards (Arranger, Synth,
Digital pianos etc.).
Before you use your SD 2 instrument, make sure you read all the instructions carefully in
order to fully exploit its potentials and to ensure its long life. Keep this manual in a safe place
for future reference.
CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGE
The original package of your SD 2 instrument includes the following material:
a)
SD 2 unit
b)
Instruction manual
c)
DC Feeder - 12 Volts
Optional accessory: Midi to USB cable. This is required to use SD 2 with a Laptop, due indeed
to the fact that portable computers do not have their own Midi interface (unless they are
equipped with additional boards such as Firewire, USB etc.).
This cable is used for the communication of the midi data from your portable computer with
the Midi In of SD 2 via the USB connection.
TURNING ON
To turn the SD 2 unit on, simply connect the feeder supplied with the instrument to the mains.
The LED on the front panel lights up to point out that the instrument is working.
1 On / Off: Main ON/OFF switch of the SD 2
instrument. When the LED lights up, it points out
that the instrument is working. The LED will flash
if there is any Midi In activity.
2 Volume: Slider that controls the general volume
of SD 2. This volume also affects the Headphone
output.
3 Headphone: Connection for stereo headphones
with low impedance.
