KETRON EVENT X is a flagship arranger module offering the most advanced style architecture Ketron has developed to date. In a compact housing with a 7-inch capacitive touch screen and physical sliders, it combines over 500 Real, Live and MIDI styles with genuine studio recordings of drums, bass and chords, providing a mobile reference-grade sound centre for the demanding stage musician and producer.
A rhythm section built on real recordings
Short, looped MIDI patterns sound mechanical and quickly become repetitive. The EVENT X uses over 580 Real Drums — studio recordings of professional drummers eight or more measures long, without cuts or editing — and 256 Real Bass lines recorded by live bassists. The Real Chord system with over 300 guitar and instrumental tracks, the Lock Chord function and Multichord create the sensation of playing alongside a real band rather than over synthetic backing.
Audio Style Modeling and extensive connectivity
A musician needs creative control over arrangement without losing factory resources. Audio Style Modeling lets you freely combine Real Drum, Real Bass, Real Chord and MIDI tracks in a single arrangement. Two Voice sections of 3 sounds each with separate EFX inserts, a Twin Organ with 9 drawbars and Real Solos with Aftertouch, Round Robin and articulation control deliver a rich palette. Two independent players, a 5+1 multitrack, a 3-voice Voicetron, two microphone inputs, HDMI, Bluetooth audio and Wi-Fi with the Ketron app round out stage and studio work.
