And so... after doing extensive research I've come to the conclusion that my SD2 will not work with Pro Tools. I've searched the Pro Tools forums high and low and the SD2 isn't mentioned anywhere on the site. I've been to the Kentron site where it says that the SD2 works with "most popular DAWs," their example and recommendations mentioned are Cubase, Logic, Band-in-a-Box and Power Tracks.

As I understand it, I would need a Ketron "patch map" file like I need for BIAB (.ini) and Sonar (.ins) that are dropped into their respective directories. This allows said software to "see" the Ketron.

I'm using Sonar 8 which was pretty new the last time I was working on my music. But now after seeing how much new software stuff is out there now, my lowly version 8 seems to have gone the way of the Dodo bird.

That being said, it is still working fine for me and for what I'm doing with it. I was just thinking that maybe an upgrade to something newer would be nice now that I've been getting back into it.

The reason I was thinking Pro Tools is that I've been hearing for years that it is the software of choice for the pros, as a lot of pro studios are using it. In fact, I have seen this alot on YouTube. And finally, my brother-in-law has been using it for years and swears by it.

So, after all my research, aside from not being able to use my Kentron, I'm thinking that it might be overkill. I've decided that I'll be staying with Sonar... maybe upgrade it... and stay with something that I am somewhat familiar with. Thanks for the replies!!! Much appreciated.
