KETRON SD90 is a professional arranger module offering the same sound and arranger resources as the Ketron SD9 keyboard, but without the integrated keyboard. With a 7-inch capacitive touch screen and an extensive library of Audio Drums, Live Guitars and grooves, it becomes a complete sound centre for a musician playing with a master keyboard, digital piano, organ or MIDI accordion.
A realistic live rhythm section
Synthetic, mechanical backing is a typical weakness of cheaper arrangers. The SD90 continues Ketron's philosophy with real audio recordings: up to 100 stereo Live Drums with time stretching, 150 Live Guitars (folk acoustic, electric, nylon) and 530 grooves with Latin and Brazilian percussion. Combined with bass and guitars, this delivers a rhythm section that sounds like a live band rather than a looped MIDI pattern.
Style editing and Launchpad
A gigging musician needs tools for fast customisation without losing factory resources. The SD90 provides 400 styles, including 140 Live styles, editing with recording of up to 128 bars and the ability to build a style from scratch, while the MY LIST section groups 64 favourite styles for instant access. The Launchpad function lets you mix MIDI and audio clips during a performance. The multitrack player plays up to 6 audio tracks simultaneously, and a 4-voice Voicetron with an XLR microphone input covers vocal needs.
