ADVICE ON USING THE INSTRUMENT
In this section we show you how we think you should use SD 2 to fully exploit its performance
in musical applications.
HOME STUDIO (with computer, sequencer or external players)
In this context, SD 2 is able to express its performance to the best.
It can be connected to your computer (Pc or Mac) via the Midi cable (if you already have a
board with Midi interface) or via the Midi to Usb cable supplied as an optional accessory by
KETRON. Using musical sequencer programs such as Cubase®, Logic®, Cakewalk® or similar
you will be able to successfully integrate SD 2 in your musical elaborations (Midi files, Jingles,
Audio Mix etc.) exploiting its amazing sound versatility in the best way possible.
Your SD 2 not only offers the sounds that are
by now part of the GM standard references but
you will also find other Sound Banks with many
characteristic sounds in the traditional families
(Piano, Strings, Sax, Brass etc.).
The main feature that definitely distinguishes
SD 2 from other sound modules is the presence
of the numerous audio Loops (Drum Loops
that you can download free of charge from our
Internet site: www.ketron.it. ).
Just imagine if you add these Loops to your
musical creations ...they can enrich, if not
indeed replace, the rhythm of your songs and
they could make the difference with everything
that you have elaborated up to now in the sphere of Midi files! Just a quick example: Think
of a Midi file of Caribbean music, where you often hear not very convincing parts of Latin
percussions.
Apply some of the Patterns available in the data base of the additional Loops (or rather
replacement loops) of the existent Drum track (Copy & Paste). In just a few steps you will be
