Connections

The SD1 is supplied standard with all the audio and MIDI connections required and also for the pedals needed for its optimum use. The only

options are the video interface and the two pedals. Below are the connections, from the left to the right of the panel:

MICRO 1: Audio input for microphones on balanced XLR connection. It is preferable to use this input for the main microphone for two major

reasons: the balanced connection is more silent and less subject to environmental interference. The signal made available by this input can be

processed by the Vocalizer built in the SD1.

MICRO 2: Audio mono Jack input 1/4’ unbalanced for auxiliary microphones. The Micro 2 signal cannot be processed by the Vocalizer built

in the SD1, but only by the overall effects.

MICRO GAIN: This controls the gain of the Audio microphone inputs.

PHONES: This is used to connect a stereo headphone. Micro 2 Output Monophonic audio output 1/4’ of the input signal of Micro 2, that

is not processed by the built-in effects as Reverb and chorus..

MICRO 2 OUTPUT:

Monophonic audio output 1/4’ of the input signal of Micro 1 no processed by the Vocalizer internal effects as Reverb and chorus.

MICRO 1 OUTPUT: Monophonic audio output 1/4’ of the input signal of Micro 1 processed by the Vocalizer but not by the internal effects

as Reverb and chorus.

OUTPUT LEFT/MONO 1, RIGHT 2, 3, 4: Monophonic audio outputs 1/4’ of which Left can work as overall monophonic output for the

whole instrument. When the Left and Right outputs are used the SD1 works in stereo. Outputs 3 and 4, again monophonic, can be used for par-

ticular instrumental sections of the keyboard so that they can be controlled by a separate mixer or processor with separate effects.

PEDAL FOOTSWITCH: This is a multipolar socket used to connect optional pedals with six or thirteen swit-

ches, to control many functions including automatic accompaniment functions.

SUSTAIN PEDAL: This is the socket for the Sustain On/Off type pedal.

VOLUME PEDAL: This is the socket for the continuous Volume control pedal. It is advisable to use pedals produced by Ketron to avoid

dangerous short circuits or abnormal conditions in general.

MIDI In (GM): Midi Input Port used just to control the General MIDI timbre generator of the SD1 with sixteen MIDI parts.

MIDI In 2 (Keyboard):

MIDI port with which each SD1 section is controlled from a separate keyboard or from an accordion with MIDI interface.

MIDI Out: MIDI port used to send the data generated by the SD1, both for automatic accompaniment and lead part.

MIDI Thru: MIDI port that sends the replication of all received data only from the MIDI IN 1 input.

COMPUTER INTERFACE: The SD1 can be directly connected to a PC or to a Mac via this port, thus acting as MIDI interface to all effects.

VIDEO INTERFACE: This optional device is used to display the words of a Midi file and other information given by the musician on a

monitor for the audience.

MAIN SWITCH: This push button turns the SD1 on.

AC: Pit for the power supply cable.
