KETRON SD9 Manual & Tutorial

Press
ENDING 3
- same button as Intro but works as such – if the style is not being
played and you press it, it works as an INTRODUCTION. If the style is being played and
you press it, it now works as an ENDING (
unless the REINTRO is on, in which case if the
style is playing, it always acts as an INTRO
).
You can use the
TEMPO
(SPEED/BMP) buttons to slow down the style or speed it up.
The audio live, drums and audio live guitar are right there behind you with no change in
pitch!
The
HOLD
button allows you to play and release a chord and the SD9 PRO will still
maintain that chord … until a new chord is played. If the
HOLD
button is off, the chord
is released as soon as you lift your fingers off the keyboard (
chord section
).
RESTART
– allows you to restart the style at any given time. This is very useful
especially if you have a vocalist that cannot keep to time and you have to follow him/her
instead!
FILL
– This button introduces a fill in as you are playing (where the drummer or/and
bass player or/and other musicians introduce an abrupt variation into the music. This is
usually used to move from one part of the music to another, for an example going from a
verse to a chorus of a song. There are 4 fills so depending on what arrangement you are
on (A-D), the corresponding Fill in (1-4) will be heard.
BREAK
– This button introduces a break as you are playing (where the drummer or/and
bass player or/and other musicians stop playing) and are lead back in by a drum fill. This
is usually used to move from one part of the music to another, for an example going from
a verse to a chorus of a song or introduce a solo musician or climax of the song being
performed. There are 4 breaks so depending on what arrangement you are on (A-D), the
corresponding Break (1-4) will be heard.

AUTO FILL & BREAK
– This is a new and innovative feature introduced by
KETRON in the SD9 Pro. By pressing and holding down the
FILL
or
BREAK
button on the panel, the style randomly selects and plays fill ins and breaks
while you are playing. This eliminates redundancy and always leaves the
performer wanting more as they never know what to expect.
Now let’s explain some of the SOFT style controls found on the bottom of the screen (
the others that have
intentionally been skipped in this section [such as BASSIST & MODELLING] will be explained in their
relevant chapters below on page
68
, due to the extensive information involved in these sections
). The
bottom right corner of the screen displays the current page you are on. Since there were too many controls
to list below the screen, they were sub divided into 3 pages as shown -
