The SD4 can be directly connected to a mobile PC using a USB connection (without need of an separate power supply) or it can be used to interface with Master keyboards lacking in USB ports. The two input MIDI ports allow one to play very high quality sounds while at the same time having an independent MIDI file playing. The SD4 permits one to stack and edit all available tones to get new customized sounds, which can be easily saved and reloaded at any time. Editing these tones is even further simplified by using the special Ketron PC software (Available for download at no cost by visiting www.ketron.it).
Moreover, by the three potentiometers it is possible to change in real time the Midi file main parameters balancing the volume of the single tracks of the MIDI file or of the Preset sounds that are being used. A very useful function of "Intelligent Transposer" is available for MIDI file playback. This allows the key to be changed without altering the instrument's timbre.
