KETRON SD60K is the chromatic button (knopfgriff) version of the SD60 arranger, built for accordionists and players who use the button system. In place of a piano keyboard it offers 172 chromatic button pads with adjustable dynamics and aftertouch, while keeping the full SD60 sound and arranger engine. Under the hood it runs 128-voice polyphony, 64-part multitimbrality, 672 GM sounds, 368 presets and up to 1500 user voices, all controlled from a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen.
Button layout for the accordionist
The chromatic button pads mirror the accordion manual, so moving from an acoustic instrument to the SD60K needs no retraining of technique. Accordion mode, the Bass To Chord function and Organ Mode with bass control from a MIDI pedalboard (PMK 8) reproduce conditions typical of accordion and organ playing, including chords not available in classic bass technique such as diminished, seventh and fourth voicings.
Realistic accompaniment and vocal handling
The Live Drum section provides up to 100 stereo kits recorded by real drummers, with WAV streaming, time stretching and 3-band EQ, while 150 Live Guitars add authentic guitar parts. A balanced XLR microphone input with gain control, separate output and effects (Reverb, Echo, EQ, Noise Gate, Compressor, Pitch Shift), plus a 4-voice Voicetron Vocalizer, let you sing in harmony without an external processor.
