ADVICE ON USING THE INSTRUMENT
In this section we show you how we think you should use SD1000 to fully exploit its performance
in musical applications.
HOME STUDIO (with computer, sequencer or external players)
In this context, SD1000 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
SD1000 in your musical elaborations (Midi files, Jingles, Audio Mix etc.) exploiting its amazing sound
versatility in the best way possible.
Your SD1000 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 SD1000
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... these 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 able to replace the
Midi rhythmic structure with audio Loops and the result will be amazing.
Once your musical file is complete and you have saved it in the format that your prefer, you
