Thanks for all the great advice.

I plan on running BIAB/RB from the harddrive I got with the upgrade and buying an additional small 80g one to put all the BIAB songs on.

If I do that, would the music sound better if I also bought an edirol or ketron sd2? Is there a difference between them?



I sold my Edirol and bought a Ketron Sd2, then immediately put it on eBay and upgraded to the SD-4. The Edirol was king of the hill for many years, but the SOUNDS of the Ketron are FAR superior. The Saxes alone were enough to switch. I think the Italians just sample better instruments played by better musicians than the Japanese.

Unfortunately the SD-2 has no built-in USB interface like the Edirol, so you will need some kind of MIDI adapter for your PC. The SD-4 has one, but is much larger and much more expensive, but can be used on gigs without a PC tethered.

Both the Edirol SD-20- and Ketron SD2 have only the most bare-bones controls.... not even patch change without a PC..
