C onnections
The SD5 is provided with all the audio and MIDI connections as required by current standards including the sockets for the pedals needed for
its optimum use. The only optional extras are the hardisk, video interface and the two pedals.
REAR CONNECTION
SPEAKER : Button used to enable and disable the built-in speakers of the instrument.
MICRO 1 OUTPUT : Monophonic 1/4'' jack direct audio output of the input signal of Micro 1 processed by the Vocalizer but not by the inter-
nal effects like Reverb or chorus.
OUTPUT LEFT/MONO, RIGHT : Monophonic 1/4” jack audio outputs where the Left out can work as the summed monophonic output for
the whole instrument. When the Left and Right outputs are used the SD5 works in stereo.
PEDAL FOOTSWITCH : This is a multipolar socket used to connect optional pedals with six or thirteen switches, to control many functions
including automatic accompaniment commands etc.
SUSTAIN PEDAL : This is the socket for the Sustain On/Off type pedal.
VOLUME PEDAL : This is the socket for the continuous Volume control pedal. It is advisable to use pedals produced by Ketron to avoid dan-
gerous short circuits or abnormal conditions in general.
MIDI In (GM) : Midi Input Port used just to control the General MIDI sound generator of the SD5 with sixteen MIDI parts.
MIDI In 2 (Keyboard) : MIDI port for connecting an external MIDI keyboard or accordion which can operate the SD5 in a similar way to its own keyboard.
MIDI Out : MIDI port used to send the data generated by the SD5, including automatic accompaniment and lead part(s).
MIDI Thru : MIDI port that allows all data from the MIDI IN1 to pass through unaltered.
COMPUTER INTERFACE : The SD5 can be directly connected to a PC or to a Mac via this port.
VIDEO INTERFACE : This optional device is used to display the words of a Midi file and other information provided by the musician on a monitor for the audience.
AC : Socket for the power supply cable.
MAIN SWITCH : This push button turns the SD5 on & off.
FRONT CONNECTIONS
HEADPHONES : Allows you to connect stereo headphones.
GAIN : Controls the gain of the microphone audio inputs.
MICRO INPUT : Unbalanced _'' mono audio jack input for two microphones, (if a stereo-mono adapter is used). The Micro Input signal can be pro-
cessed by the inner Vocalizer of the SD5 and by the global effects. Without the adapter, only one microphone can be used.
