A few years back I bought a ketron SD2 midi module based on all the good reviews it got here on this site.I liked it quite a bit.
But yesterday it died. The lights are on and flickering along with the midi file but no sound.Not out of the line out nor out of the headphone out.
So I tried to find the company website but it seems to be gone.
Are they still in business? Is there anything it can do to bring it back to life? Is there anybody who can repair these things?

Try www.ketron.itIt looks like the www.ketron.com (which was billed as Ketron USA) has gone away. When you get to the Italian site, you can click on the appropriate flag to get different languages. If you haven't figured it out, Ketron is an Italian company. Hope this helps.

Thanks for pointing that out for me. I found the e-mail for their support guy in the US on the site and I wrote him an e-mail. The Ketron really did sound nice and I sure hope it can be repaired.. I never moved it out of my room so if it is toast I probably won't buy another one. They are not THAT cheap. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

A domain expired. That doesn't necessarily mean they are done. It may mean their web team stinks. The domain expired yesterday (likely shut down at midnight). Someone needs to pay the registrar. I doubt a $10 domain registration isn't the bill they chose not to pay to make ends meet.. yet keep the other sites up. I know they've been quiet lately and John may be right, but I'm just pointing out this wouldn't be confirmation for me. I expected to see an announcement on the .it site. Did I miss something? To me it just looks like an oversight. WHOIS: Domain Name: KETRON.COM Registrar: REBEL.COM CORP.

Thanks for the info, I already sent out a message to Ajam Inc a few days ago. No reply so far. Maybe I'll try the canadian distributor if I don't hear anything in the next week. Below is contact information for the US distributor for Ketron from Ketron's website: AJAM INC.

This a daft suggestion but one which gave me pause once using Ketron SB2. Is the volume control slider at full volume????
I said it was daft.

I'm not sure but a CC7, the MIDI volume control, would lower it. It would also raise it to the units maximum volume or anywhere in between.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Get some good contact cleaner (DeoxIT) and clean the jacks on the unit. Just spray on the plugs and run in and out of the jacks a couple of times. Then, check your cables.
Since the unit is receiving signal and it's not getting out, that's where I would start.
May be something as simple as a bad cable or a dirty jack.
Regards,
Bob

Or even try sending a GM reset message to it via MIDI .. never know. Some SysEx message could have changed a setting or even a CC message.
Is there a reset process for the synth?

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!

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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
