HOW TO AVOID RADIO/TV INTERFERENCE

This instrument operates at radio frequencies, and if not correctly installed according to the
instructions supplied, it may cause interference with radio and television reception.
Though this instrument has been designed according to the applicable standards and
notwithstanding the reasonable protections against interference it has been equipped with,
there is no guarantee that such events will not occur. In order to check if the interference is
actually caused by this instrument, switch it off and see if the interference disappears.
Then switch it on again and check if the interference appears again. Once you have made sure

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the new KETRON SD 2 Orchestral Wizard. The SD
2 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 and Digital Drawbars section, Accordions, Bass, Strings, acoustic
and electronic Drum Sets and so on. The SD 2 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 SD 2 stand out from all other similar models on the market.
The applications of SD 2 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 SD 2 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 SD 2 instrument includes the following material:

a) SD 2 unit
b) Instruction manual

c) DC Feeder - 12 Volts
Optional accessory: Midi to USB cable. This is required to use SD 2 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 SD 2 via the USB connection.

TURNING ON

To turn the SD 2 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 SD 2
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 SD 2. This volume also affects the Headphone
output.
3 Headphone: Connection for stereo headphones
with low impedance.

15

CONNECTIONS

4 Midi In / Thru: Midi In and Thru connection of SD 2. Connect the Midi In of SD 2 to the Midi

out of the computer, of the Midi player or of the Master keyboard. The Thru connection is used
to send a copy of the Midi In to another device (i.e.:Expander).

5 Out L / R: Left and Right audio outputs to be connected to the mixer or audio amplifier.
6 Power Dc In: Connection for the DC 12 V feeder of SD 2.

ADVICE ON USING THE INSTRUMENT

In this section we show you how we think you should use SD 2 to fully exploit its performance
in musical applications.

HOME STUDIO (with computer, sequencer or external players)

In this context, SD 2 is able to express its performance to the best.
It can be connected to your computer (Pc or Mac) via the Midi cable (if you already have a
board with Midi interface) or via the Midi to Usb cable supplied as an optional accessory by
KETRON. Using musical sequencer programs such as Cubase®, Logic®, Cakewalk® or similar
you will be able to successfully integrate SD 2 in your musical elaborations (Midi files, Jingles,
Audio Mix etc.) exploiting its amazing sound versatility in the best way possible.

Your SD 2 not only offers the sounds that are
by now part of the GM standard references but
you will also find other Sound Banks with many
characteristic sounds in the traditional families
(Piano, Strings, Sax, Brass etc.).
The main feature that definitely distinguishes
SD 2 from other sound modules is the presence
of the numerous audio Loops (Drum Loops
that you can download free of charge from our
Internet site: www.ketron.it. ).
Just imagine if you add these Loops to your
musical creations ...they can enrich, if not
indeed replace, the rhythm of your songs and
they could make the difference with everything
that you have elaborated up to now in the sphere of Midi files! Just a quick example: Think
of a Midi file of Caribbean music, where you often hear not very convincing parts of Latin
percussions.
Apply some of the Patterns available in the data base of the additional Loops (or rather
replacement loops) of the existent Drum track (Copy & Paste). In just a few steps you will be

16

able to replace the Midi rhythmic structure with audio Loops and the result will be amazing.
Once your musical file is complete and you have saved it in the format that your prefer, you
can naturally play it back with any type of sequencer or Midi player (i.e.: MIDJAY or similar) by
connecting it to your SD 2. The use of laptops has become more and more popular in the world
of musical entertainment to play back Midi files.
The advantage of having a musical board integrated in the computer is however often
penalised by the fact that such boards only avail of a few sounds and of rather modest quality.
In this case again, we think that the use of SD 2 instead of built-in boards offers a considerable
opportunity.

MIDI KEYBOARD (Master keyboard, Arranger, Accordion etc. )

SD 2 can be used as a supplementary module to enrich the sound palette of your keyboard.
Another ideal solution is that of coupling SD 2 with Master keyboards without sounds or with
current mini remote keyboards (multimedia keyboards) that are used increasingly in the live
set-up. We are sure that such a powerful and compact sound module will certainly become
part of your musical set-up.

OPERATING NOTES

As you will have already noticed, the SD 2 unit has external connections (described previously)
and one general volume control for the rear outputs and for the headphones.
Obviously everything else that may modify the Sound, the Volume, the Reverb, the Effects etc.
must be performed via MIDI messages.
For those who are already familiar with this type of Editing procedure, simply observe the
table of MIDI implementations of SD 2 to be able to manage the Sounds of the instrument in
all its potentials.
For those who are still learning, we have prepared a set of files on our Internet site www.
ketron.it (that you can download free of charge) with the configuration of the Map of sounds
that can be used to work with the most commonly used sequencer programs and musical
notes, such as Cubase®, Logic®, Cakewalk®.

HOW TO USE THE DRUM LOOPS

You can download the Drum Loops for SD 2 from our Internet site www.ketron.it .
The files appear with a set of Folders, which are catalogued per type of music (Salsa, Cha,
Merengue, Jazz etc. ).
These are actually Midi files that contain information on how to play the rhythm Patterns of
the various Loops contained in the sound generation of SD 2.
To better understand the sound possibilities that these loops offer, we suggest that you listen
to the Demo.mid files within the reference folders of the various musical rhythms.

We remind you that these patterns contain all the information necessary (program change,
volume etc.) to be played immediately without any other settings.

DRAWBARS SECTION

The sound generation of SD 2 also avails of a section of digital Drawbars, inspired by the
sounds of electro-magnetic organs: 16’,8’, 5’1/3, 4’, 2’2/3, 2’, 1’3/5, 1’. Percussion 4’ and 2’2/3
The Drawbars can play on any midi channel (and also on a number of midi channels
simultaneously). Using the environment created especially for the Logic ® (which you can

17

download free of charge from our Internet site www.ketron.it) you can play all the digital
Drawbars, thanks to the virtual sliders reproduced in this environment.

Here’s how the editor created on Logic® appears:
If, on the other hand, you do not use this
environment, you can pull-up the various
Drawbars by sending the relative controllers to
the SD 2 unit, which are described in the section
entitled Midi Implementation.

Example:

Drawbar 16’ is obtained by sending the following
controller string to the SD 2 unit:
Bank 67, Program Change 0, Controller 20 (with value 0/127 relative to the volume of the actual
drawbar) .
In the section of the Midi Implementation functions, you will also find all the information
necessary to be able to modify the Drawbars and their relative applicable effects (Rotary,
Chorus, Reverb etc.).

STEREO GRAND PIANO

The SD 2 unit has a professional Grand Piano Stereo sound over 88 notes (pre-arranged as the
default sound when you turn the instrument on in Progr. Change 01).
The availability of a Grand Piano sound of such quality proves extremely useful when the
instrument is connected to a Master Keyboard.

OTHER FEATURES

For those of you who have already worked with multi-timbre sound modules, you will already
know that the DSP’s (effects and sound post-treatment) are integral part of these systems,
which are used via the various controllers and/or Sys Exclusive.
However, you will be interested to know that together with the typical sections of Reverb,
Chorus and Delay, you will also find other DSP effects, such as:

Rotor (for digital Drawbars with Rate, Acceleration, Depth and Type controls)
Wha Wha (Amount. This controls the intensity of the Wha effect on the track)
Bass Boost (Gain, Frequency. Bass boosting device)
Distortion (Type, Resonance, Tone )

The Master Control section also envisages the following controls:

Tune: This controls the general tune of the module (Data Value)
Arabic Scale: This controls the intervals for the Arabic scale (Data Value)
Global Transposer: Global transposition of the instrument ( Data Value )
