Hi there,
I have been looking at the Ketron SD3 online and just wonder if anyone has used it here, or is it of any benefit to a guitar player, or would he/she need a midi guitar to avail of the sounds within?
I take it the unit can also work well, as a default synth is band in a box similar to the SD2?
Many thanks for any info.
Martin

Hi Martin
I know many folk on here use the SD2 and it is well thought of.
It will give you a nice set of midi voices for sure, so if you want midi backing tracks for your guitar playing it could be good.
The Ketron unit works as an external mid synth in BIAB, and will send its sound as audio this will need to be fed to your sound card audio in, or audio interface in if you want to hear it on the pc.
Alternatively you could feed it to a spare clean channel on your guitar amp if you are using electric guitar.
Have fun

Hi Martin,
As Mike said the SD3 is an external MIDI synth. Thus it needs a MIDI input and the output is audio. As Mike indicated BiaB is the MIDI input and the SD3 output needs to go to your sound card or audio interface input. This should work well as a BiaB external GM synth.
If you want to access the SD3 sounds without using or using along with BiaB you will need some kind of MIDI input device. This could be a MIDI keyboard controller, wind controller, guitar MIDI controller etc. Thus a regular guitar will not access those sounds, you would need a MIDI controller like the Fishman TriplePlay added to your guitar.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Thanks guys for the information.
In the past I have seen a guy playing with some sort of pedals that he used to change chords on backing tracking that accompanied his singing, didn't have time to go into detail with him but it has intrigued me ever since, what exactly his setup was.
So it seems the SD 3 doesn't have any sort of backing tracks on board, and even if using a midi controller like a midi guitar, it would be more of a single sound that you would get from it rather than a nice backing track.
Just wondering if I am correct in assuming this?
Thanks yet again.
Martin

Martin, are you using BiaB for your backing tracks? If so what are you using for your sound source? If it is the softsynth that comes with BiaB then the SD3 would be a big improvement in sound quality.
You are correct in thinking that using a MIDI controller will not produce a backing track. You can get more than one sound if your MIDI controller can send out multiple MIDI channels as in splitting a keyboard for 2 or more zones or having a guitar MIDI controller that will send out 6 different MIDI channels. But even then it would not be a backing track, just different channels playing different notes.

Seems like a fun toy Beatmaster, wouldn't mind having one. Mario, I am using just the standard synthfont64 that comes with band in a box. The SD3 is quite expensive, I have seen the sd2 at a fraction of the cost, though no doubt the 3 will be a better unit. Will keep an eye on ebay just in case any come up. Thanks again. Martin
