The SD60 inherits the technology of the Ketron SD9, it offers the same sounds and styles in the tradition of Ketron keyboards.

The sd60 is an ideal choice for professionals to ensure their concerts or their studio sessions but also for the passionate musician.

Sounds

Among the many new features, the sd60 offers 2 new pianos. The classic and modern stereo "Grand" but also an excellent vintage digital piano. Sounds sampled on several levels with a long and natural decay, allow to obtain new and high quality pianos.
The sd60 obviously contains a large sound library, orchestral sounds, guitars, basses, synths and also an organ with controllable leslie and many other sounds.

Searching for and identifying VOICES is made easier by the new graphic representation on the touch screen which associates its image with each orchestral instrument.

The sd60 offers a large library of more than 300 audio styles with 4 variations, 4 fills, 4 breaks...
The new "Live Band" and "Unplugged Styles" are created from audio drums (Reals Drums), Live Guitars, piano and bass: a real orchestra at your disposal.
It is possible to assign 4 different tracks to the right hand (Lead) but also 4 ABCD rhythm parts of the arrangement section.
You can also save your changes to volume, tones, effects of each style in a USER in order to quickly recall them.
The new editing functions allow you to save more than 128 measures and thus customize an already existing style.

The accompaniment provides a Bass line plus 5 chords with a great variety of rhythmic-harmonic patterns and 2 Lower. 3 orchestral VARIATIONS are present which can be easily toggled on-off during performance for more simplified arrangements as well as a VARITONE device with subtle tonal variations on the guitar accompaniments. 4 Voices can be assigned to the right (Chant) and it is possible to match them to the four ABCD arrangements.
The keyboard's arranger system is very open and allows you to freely modify the timbres, volumes and effects of each style and save it again as a USER STYLE to create a library of personalized styles without altering the original ones. In the MY LIST section, the user can also group and memorize his 64 favorite Styles, making it easier to find them later.

Great attention was paid to orchestral harmonies. Wind instruments in particular are handled with separate harmonic lines in order to achieve a more realistic sonic impact of the section. The Unplugged family instead offers styles with very essential arrangements, entrusted to a single Guitar or a single Piano with percussion, an ideal acoustic environment for improvisation or the insertion of other musicians.

Ketron keyboards integrate “Real Drums” these are batteries recorded directly in the studio and played by real drummers, they allow in the arrangements to make the accompaniment even more realistic. The sd60 incorporates over 250 new acoustic and electronic drum sounds in rhythm loops and over 400 Latin percussion grooves. The system is compatible with the Audya which allows you to import new sounds into the sd60.

Live Guitars

An extensive library of over 100 new audio guitar sounds paired with drums and bass ensures musical realism in your tracks.

Launch pad

The launchpad is a brand new function, it is one of the greatest novelties of the SD-9, it will accompany you for your compositions or your evenings.
Each of the instrument's 12 pads allows you to trigger both internal and external samples. The launchpad can contain up to 2024 projects each containing a launchpad offering up to 6 scenes.

User Memory / Sample Editor

The sd60 has a memory of 700Mbyte allowing you to store your own sounds and additional libraries.
Thanks to its integrated editor, you can edit your own samples.

With the use of dedicated App it is also possible to exploit the Registration device to manage from the keyboard the database of external libraries for songs, texts, etc.
