Contents Of The Package - KETRON SD1000 Manuel D'instruction

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the new KETRON SD1000 Professional Sound Module.
The SD 1000 instrument represents an interesting integration to the sector of sound modules in
terms of compactness and musical performance. Not only does it avail of all the sound acoustics
necessary for the perfect reproduction of musical files in General Midi standard and Kar format,
but it also has other additional sound banks with an incredible variety of orchestral Voices: Grand
Piano Stereo over 88 notes, Acoustic and electric guitars, Brass and saxophones of unique quality,
sampled organs, Accordions, Bass, Strings, acoustic and electronic Drum Sets and so on. The
SD1000 unit is also equipped with a considerable number of audio Drum and Percussion Loops split-
up into a very wide variety of musical styles, which definitely make SD1000 stand out from all other
similar models on the market. The applications of SD1000 are best exploited in combination with
a MIDI player (such as KETRON MIDJAY for example) or with sequencers on computer (Logic®,
Cubase®, Cakewalk® and others), but it can also be connected to Master keyboards or multi-
purpose keyboards (Arranger, Synth, Digital pianos, etc.).
Before you use your SD1000 instrument, make sure you read all the instructions carefully in order
to fully exploit its potentials and to ensure its long life.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGE

The original package of your SD1000 instrument includes the following material:
a) SD1000 unit
b) Instruction manual
c) DC Feeder - 9 Volts
Optional accessory: Midi to USB cable. This is required to use SD1000 with a Laptop, due indeed
to the fact that portable computers do not have their own Midi interface (unless they are equipped
with additional boards such as Firewire, USB, etc.).
This cable is used for the communication of the midi data from your portable computer with
the Midi In of SD1000 via the USB connection.
TURNING ON
To turn the SD1000 unit on, simply connect the feeder supplied with the instrument to the mains.
The LED on the front panel lights up to point out that the instrument is working.
1 On / Off: Main ON/OFF switch of the SD1000
instrument. When the LED lights up, it points out that
the instrument is working. The LED will flash if there is
any Midi In activity.
2 Volume: Slider that controls the general volume
of SD1000. This volume also affects the Headphone
output.
3 Headphone: Connection for stereo headphones
with low impedance.
