The SD3 from Ketron is a sound module arranger workstation that offers the same features as the SD5 keyboard, only the keyboard, speakers, and pitch and modulation wheels have been removed. This makes the SD3 a great choice if you already have a MIDI accordion or keyboard for control, but need the great sounds and arranger features that Ketron provides. Nearly 300 voices, over 1000 percussion sounds, and 200+ styles are built-in so you can create music in a variety of genres and styles. Designed with the MIDI accordion user in mind, the SD3 can also be used with a MIDI keyboard controller. Sustain and volume pedal inputs are provided, along with a footswitch connector that allows you to connect an optional 6 or 13-switch floor unit so you can control arranger functions without having to remove your hands from your accordion or keyboard. Other connectors include a microphone input and output, 1/4" audio outputs, a computer interface, and an optional video interface that’s great for karaoke. Each style has four arrangers with multiple intros, fills, and endings for quick and simple creation of accompaniment. Several DSP effects are included, such as reverb, delay, chorus, and more. The 3.5" floppy disk drive and optional 6GB hard drive provide great data storage. When a microphone is connected, the optional vocalizer provides controllable harmonies for your vocal performance. All this and more in a durable, ultra-portable unit make the SD3 a great choice.
