Long before the Ketron Event Live Arranger with Real Instruments was released I showed so many examples how this can be done using Biab tracks to create a PG Music Live Arranger, I stated that there will soon be an Arranger Keyboard released with Real Instrument recordings, and this should be acted on and not ignored. So what I stated did come true, but whether it will ever be released by PG is another thing, maybe users would rather pay $5000 than $300 for the PG version with way more Styles, Real Instruments & Drums ?: Examples of Intros Whole Video Time stamps 00:00 Intro 01:43 Presentation 02:01 4 variations 02:47 16-bar loops 04:46 Chord inversions (lowest bass note) 06:03 MIDI style vs audio style 09:14 Examples of Intros 11:31 Examples of Endings 12:38 3 tips 13:26 Modern disco 13:57 Outro & final thoughts Save page as it may get deleted

I said this about play direct long before. It's a shame that I spend so much time on new ideas and innovations, not for myself but for PG and it's users, and what happens with all this energy that I give, does it get ignored and deleted ? Why is Ketron now using the ideas I posted back then but was ignored here ? Ideas and constructive criticism should be allowed, they should be engaged by PG not ignored or deleted, that is so easy to do but hardly fair on the users that spends so much time trying to improve the product while going through a lot of difficulties in their own life, it's hardly fair. I bet those that do the deleting have no problem walking or breathing. I will have to look deeper into this as the Styles you purchase maybe able to be converted into RealTrack/Drums ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=30067&filename=Ketron-Play-Direct.png) Save page as it may get deleted

Ketron has some nice sounds. I first learned about them from PG Music back when PG Music sold a Ketron sound module. Unfortunately Ketron only has one distributor in the USA, +++ AJAMSONIC +++ . That distributor does not represent Ketron very well. The website does not list any online or brick and mortar stores that sell Ketron products. Korg, Yamaha, Kurzwell, Alesis, Casio and Roland are six brands I can think of off the top of my head that sell arranger keyboards in the US. All are available online or at almost any music store and cost MUCH less than a Ketron.

The site I found said there wasn't a US shop; it must have been an old site. Funny as I googled Thomann USA site. I guess I should have googled Harley Benton.

I've had the impression that Thomann also have a UK warehouse, but I've failed to prove that (though I didn't try very hard).

For those that have Ketron Event and Biab you can make up Real Chords for it with Biab by generating up each 16 bar chord wav file of each instrument you need. This would be a cheaper way for Ketron Event users than having to buy or record the instruments themselves. See above videos.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
