Thanks for posting these sound samples from the Ketron SD2. I, too, am getting tired of my soft synths. Lately, I've gone to using my cheap-cheap Yamaha PSR 225 keyboard for my midi sounds. It's not bad. But, it's time for something much better.

I've also been looking at the Yamaha motif-rack XS (about $1000) or the EX (about $700). I play flute, not just jazz, but also classical. So, strings, bassoons, all woodwinds, etc., are very important to me. To make it even more complicated, I'm also considering a wind-controller, such as the Akai EWI, and so a good sound module that can handle that would be a real plus.

So, has anyone had a chance to A B a motif and the Ketron? Opinions?

Thanks,
Dave Harris
