jpapas Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Does anyone own one of this? Can you create combis (splits, layers) on this thing? I'm just trying to complement my new Yammie NP-30. I'd really appreciate any help. The manual doesn't mention anything about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Fortner Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I have one here at Keyboard central, in fact. It is multi-timbral, but I'm guessing that since it's so simply-designed, it expects that you'll handle anything involving channelization, i.e. splits and layers, from your DAW or MIDI controller keyboard. I'll have some time to play with it over the holidays, as we're reviewing it, so I'll let you know more specifics soon as I can. Would anyone like me to alert Ted Kraus from Ketron US to this thread? I'm sure he'd be happy to post here with an answer as well.

Mark Schmieder Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Yeah, it looked more for computer setup than live, when I looked into it a couple of months back. Yet it is very impressive overall as an affordable GM module that is better quality than most workstations (yet nowhere near a software sample library, so then what's the point if it is designed for studio use?).

jpapas Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 You'll have the lightest rig on the planet! Great isn't it. Less than 15 lb both things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VLH Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 To stay light and (relatively) cheap-- You could go stereo w/2 viscount contact CXs. Powered with 180 watts. 8 inch woofer plus tweeter, about 14 lbs each. (I've never heard them, though, just looked at the specs online.) If you used just one and went mono, your total kit weight would be less than most keyboards. Walk to the gig w/everything in a knapsack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uxt150 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I emailed the question to AJ (he is out of town) this is his responce ANSWER:-YES. The SD2 is designed to be controlled directly via Midi. Depending on your Midi controller (uni or omni transmission), you can layer (2-4 voices) or generate 2-16 voices at any given instance (say in the case where you are playing a midifile). You can also assign a SPLIT point and have separate voices to the LEFT and RIGHT of the SPLIT point. Ofcourse all this depends on the flexability of your midi controller. If using a Midi program (like CUBASE 4) ofcourse this can all be done through the software.AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpapas Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks uxt150. I'm really no expert in MIDI so I'll have to check the capabilities of my NP-30 and a good book or tutorial on MIDI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
