I'd love to find a good used one and save some money! Let me know if you have one for sale.

Thanks,
Jim

Be careful. I bought two SD2's about three years ago, and they both died on me recently. They sound great, but I don't trust Ketron anymore. I'd buy new with warrantee if I was you.

Has anybody else had similar problems with their SD2? Both of mine gradually lost audio. It sounded like the MIDI going in was choking the unit, but it turned out to be intermittent audio, and finally, silence.

I haven't experienced anything like that here.

With TWO units doing exactly the same thing wrong, I would think that it would either be something in the build of the units -- or something in whateer those units were hooked up to -- that causes something like that.

I'd be willing to put them on my Test Bench and see if I can find out what the problem may be. Don't have schematics and am not sure if Ketron would make them available to me, but a lot can be told from other methods as well. The things may be easily repairable as well, all depends upon what is found.

If you are interested, you could send me a PM here.

EDIT -- BTW - the Volume Slider on the front may need to be cleaned and lubed. Different environments may dry out the original lube and dust or corrosion could cause exactly those symptoms. One should use a good control cleaner/lube such as DEOXIT, attach the little straw and spray very small amount directly into the slot of the fader with the unit powered OFF, then move the fader back and forth full travel ten to twenty times in order to mechanically clean the fader's contacting surfaces. Turn the unit on and see if proper operation has been restored.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
