Ketron Event EVM It appears they may have announced this at NAMM. Described as "Event in a Box".
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful. Kawai MP6, Korg M50, Ui24R, Saffire Pro 40. AVL:MXE Linux; Windows 11; Win8.1: Scarletts BIAB2022 UltraPAK, Reaper, a bunch of stuff.
I don't do Facebook, so the link didn't work for me. :-(
i THINK You should be able to just close the sign-in dialog and view the page (I can,although a few things work for me on Linux+Firefox, but not on Windows.
There's a similar page with smaller images +++ here +++.
Not yet listed for sale AFICS. The Event keyboard took a long time to appear at the dealers.

I don't either but if you click on the X on the log in page you can read the article.
If it lives up to its promise and is GM compliant it just might be the ideal GM module for BiaB as well as maybe being able to combine their Real Styles with BiaB styles. This doesn't interest me but it may interest others.

Thanks. I clicked the X and it worked. (Learn something every day.)
I have a Ketron SD2 sound module in my rack, and it has one of the best GM sound banks that I've tried (I haven't tried but a couple of dozen synths, though).
I have no use for the arranger-in-a-box though, BiaB is plenty for me. Since I play drums, bass, sax, flute, windsynth, and some keyboards, I find myself doing more and more from scratch these days. Not that I've abandoned BiaB, when I need something quick and there is an appropriate style, or when I want to practice improvisation on sax or guitar, BiaB is a trusted friend.
[Jim, is that the newest unit? I thought that 5 pin MIDI ports were a thing of the past as USB ports have superseded them.
Just about everything like still includes 5-pin MIDI ports. There are still plenty of "old friend" keyboards around that have only those. Even the new Genos2 has them.
Another reason might be the patching possibilities with them. Routing USN MIDI around cam be a pain (on Windows, anyway). It can sometimes be easier to just plug the right things into the right places.

For those that don't have the 5 Pin DIN MIDI port, there are USB to MIDI adapters available. Or at least there were, the last time I checked.
Over in the wind synth forum, there was a budget Roland model that only came with the USB port, and some asked about running a hardware synth with a $ pin DIN input. The interface was the answer.
I'm still in the Yamaha WX5 camp, and they have the 5 pin DIN output.

Gordon, Thanx for that explanation. I haven't purchased a hard synth in years so I was very naive about those ports. I stand corrected.

Don't consider it a correction; you're absolutely right that for most uses USB has superceded.
If, though, I wish to connect together my Kawai and my Korg, both have USB device connections and neither has a USB host connection into which to plug another keyboard, so I can't directly connect them together and send MIDI between them. I can only do that via a PC or a USB<->MIDI adaptor as mentioned by 'Notes'. Both, though, have 5-pin MIDI connectors, so the patch is easy. The same applies with connecting a lkeyboard to my Ketron SD1000.
In practice I generally use a PC in the middle, because patching MDI and audio around between hardware and applications is easy in Linux once one's learned ones way around the rather arcane Jack Audio Connection Kit. There are some Windows tools that achieve similar ... I'm thinking Camelot or Cantabile, but I think there are others and they appear sensible.

Yes, I have daisy-chained hard synths before. I use soft synths now so I am out of the MIDI connection loop. I still have my hard synths connected to my computer just in case I need or want to use them. Although the sounds are dated some are still very usable.

The Event appears to have both five pin and USB midi ports. Looking at the back panel image five pin 1 is labeled GM while five pin 2 is labeled keyboard. That leads me to believe the second port can access Ketron exclusive patches like real guitar and real drums audio loops. The set up could also support midi channels 1 - 16 with midi 1 and midi channels 17 - 32 with midi 2.
The most surprising thing at this point is MIDI 2.0 is not mentioned.

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.

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."
