KETRON EVENT 61 is a flagship arranger keyboard with a 61-key semi-weighted keyboard, a 7-inch capacitive touch screen and 15 illuminated RGB sliders. It combines Ketron's most advanced style architecture with genuine studio recordings of drums, bass and chords, giving the solo entertainer, band and producer the sensation of playing with a live band.
The sound of a real band
Short, looped MIDI patterns sound artificial and quickly become repetitive. The EVENT 61 uses over 580 Real Drums — studio recordings of drummers eight or more measures long, without cuts — and 256 Real Bass lines recorded by live bassists, with Twin Bass and Lock Bass functions. The Real Chord system with guitar parts and 216 Live Guitars delivers authentic harmony, and Real Bass adapts to chord changes like a normal MIDI bass, with smooth real-time switching between audio and MIDI.
Audio Style Modeling and Stem Player
A musician needs creative control over arrangement and backing on stage. Audio Style Modeling lets you combine Real Drum, Real Bass, Real Chord and MIDI tracks across over 400 Real, Live and MIDI styles. The Stem Player plays several audio tracks in sync, with separate mute, volume, transpose and tempo without changing the drum pitch. Two multimedia players, a 5+1 multitrack, a 3-voice Voicetron, two microphone inputs, HDMI, Bluetooth audio and Wi-Fi with the Ketron app round out live and studio work.
