JOYSTIC Used to change timbre pitch if moved horizontally and to change the modulation effects if moved vertically.
Control panel and push button functions Control panel and push button functions The control panel is divided into sections according to the group of functions related to the push buttons. From left to right you will see the following: 6 VOLUME Two rows of six push buttons that are used to control the general volume for the Drums, Bass, Chords, 2ND Voice and Right sections. The volume can be muted by pressing the right-hand and left-hand VOLUME push buttons of that section together at the same time.
Control panel and push button functions DISK ON This is used to gain access to the management functions both on floppy disk and optional/built in hard disk. When the DISK LED is lit the PAGE + and PAGE - push buttons can be used to select either the hard disk or the floppy disk. MICRO (Vacalizer) This is used to access the menu of the Microphone and of the Vocalizer (optional) TALK This is used to disable the effects on the microphone.

A set of functions corresponds to each function push button F1/F10, in the main page of the display, which can be directly accessed by pressing the relative push button. F1 GM: This selects the menu with the parameters related to the single MIDI parts of the sixteen offered by the standard General MIDI.
Control panel and push button functions the right hand. From this menu you can also control the effects of the microphone, activate the vocalizer (optional) and pullup the current vocal set. USER VOICE This activates the bank of timbres that can be programmed by the user. The VOICES buttons pull-up the timbres in groups of ten at a time. PIANIST Generally speaking it is preferable to have one keyboard portion dedicated to chords acknowledgement and the other one to the solos and the lead.
Control panel and push button functions KEY START/SONG REMIX PLAY When the LED is lit and the Arranger is stopped, this push button is used to start the accompaniment when a note to the left of the split point on the keyboard is played. If an INTRO or a FILL is selected, as soon as a chord is played, that Intro or Fill-In of the style will start.
Control panel and push button functions INTRO/END 1, 2, 3 (REMIX SELECT, DRUM MIXER, DRUM&BASS) If one of these three push buttons is pressed while the Arranger is stopped an Intro is enabled, of which there are three with varying complexity. If one of these three push buttons is pressed while the Arranger is playing, an Ending is enabled with three available variations having different levels of complexity.
Right Menu and Live setting Right Menu and Live setting Right Menu button allow to select useful parameters and setting available on Right section. F1 2ND Sustain Activates or deactivates the Sustain on the Second Voice F2 2ND Split This is used to define the split point of the keyboard, dedicated to the Right section, above which the timbre assigned to Second Voice will not be playing. The relevant note can be selected using the keyboard.

It is one of the effects required to simulate jazz and rock organs in the best way possible. The Overdrive cuts out the use of the Distortion effect. F5 Distorsor This enables the Distortion effect on the Right section, cutting out the use of the Overdrive.
Parameter management Parameter management Before going into the actual programming subjects, the musician should first be aware of how the menus and parameters of the sd5 work. The rules that are listed in this chapter are valid for all the following sections and are crucial to controlling the keyboard in the best way possible.
A guide on how to start playing A guide on how to start playing You will certainly want to instantly know how to use some functions of the SD5 such as how to call up Styles and Voices, reproduce Midi files, how to use the Arranger, how to use a MIDI accordion and the Vocalizer with a microphone. If this is the case then this section is just up your street.
A guide on how to start playing TRANSPOSITION Select F3 Transp from the Song Play page to transpose the Midifile. This also allows you to choose if only the song or also the current keyboard voice(s) is/are to be transposed. Set the F1 Global parameter to ON. In this way, using the TRANSPOSE +/- push buttons, you can transpose both the keyboard and the Midi file in semitones. Another extremely useful function is available in the same menu, which relates to the musical transposition of the bass line.
A guide on how to start playing HOW TO CONTROL THE ARRANGER The Arranger controls are also described in the Arranger section. Below are simply the main concepts. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● To change the split point, press and hold the SPLIT push button down. Then simultaneously press the key on the keyboard that will be the new split point. To start the Arranger press the START push button. To stop the Arranger press the START push button once more.
A guide on how to start playing ted out by “Page” with the number on the right indicating the number of groups available. Once a family has been selected from the 16 voice groups using the dedicated VOICES push buttons to the right of the control panel, 5 sounds appear on the right and five on the left of the display. Simply press the function push button corresponding to each sound of the display (FF1F10) to call up the relative sound. The voice selected will be displayed under the four-beat bar logo.
A guide on how to start playing that switches from Inactive to Active. If you already own a MIDI accordion you most probably already know most of the parameters provided. In any event the default settings should work efficiently with almost all types of MIDI accordions. It is important to remember that if your MIDI accordion seems not to work you most probably have to work on the matching of the MIDI channels, which are accessed using the F6 MIDI menu.
Voices and User Voices Voices and User Voices One of the fundamental features of the SD5 is its sound quality and consequently the synthesis technology exploited that is based on multisamples processed by subtractive synthesis, frequency modulation and additive synthesis. The samples have been developed over the last few years by a team of international programmers.
Voices and User Voices USER VOICE As we have already explained, the SD5 is also a powerful synthesizer based on samples. We have chosen to limit the editable parameters to just those essential for most common use. Any modification made to a voice can be saved in one of the 120 memory locations in the User Voice bank, divided into twelve groups of ten User Voices each. To call up a User Voice follow the normal procedures used for calling up a Voice (mentioned above).
Voices and User Voices THE EFFECTS Using F8 Effect the user can access the effects page for the Reverb and Chorus effects. Press F7 Effect to display the level of the Reverb (always present unless it is set at zero) and the multi-effect that can be disabled (OOff). To access these parameters use the DATA CURSOR push buttons.
Voices and User Voices LFO 1 (DCO) Delay: This specifies the delay after which the LFO will affect theDCO to create the vibrato effect. LFO 2 Rate: This establishes the speed of the LFO dedicated to the control of the filter and the amplitude.
Programs and One Touch Voices Programs and One Touch Voices PROGRAMS A number of voices are often used simultaneously to enhance the voice of the lead part, namely the right section to the right of the keyboard split point. The simplest method is that of using the Second Voice but for more demanding musicians, up to four Voices (separately combined together) can be exploited. Using the Programs the musician can obtain a remarkably versatile voice for the right hand and also right along the keyboard.
Programs and One Touch Voices sed together at the same time, will set the value to zero. Zero corresponds to the middle position. PAGE 2 The second page is used to set the entity of the effects for the single Voices. For all four Voices the Send for the Reverb is always available whereas the other parameters available depend on the type of algorithm selected for the Effect which, in this case, can work as a multi-effect unit with distortion, chorus and delay algorithms combined in five different ways.
Programs and One Touch Voices Normal: The voice is always enabled whatever the velocity value set. Low: The Voice is enabled only for velocity values ranging from 0 to the velocity value specified in F10 Threshold with the DATA CURSOR push buttons. High: The Voice will only play for velocity values that range from the velocity value specified in F10 Threshold to value 127 (maximum dynamics).
Programs and One Touch Voices ONE TOUCH With all these voices on board, you will soon notice that you do have some voices that you use more often than others. These 'favourite' voices can be stored in a special location in memory (One Touch) which renders quick access and recall during live performances. The SD5 already contains Ketron's favourite voices within the current One Touch locations as default but you can later edit and replace these with your favourite voices.
Drawbars Drawbars Thanks to the very powerful sound engine of the SD5, it is possible to also reproduce very accurately the sounds of classic electromagnetic organs, among which the Hammond ©‚ certainly is the most famous one with the most important timbre. If you do not know what an electromagnetic organ is, keep in mind that their timbres used to be mixed using so-called drawbars, with a specific harmonic corresponding to each of them.
Drum Set Drum Set The rhythm section of the SD5 uses both the regular Drum Sets and the Live sampled drum loops. The regular Drums are assigned to the Drum 1 track (MIDI channel 10), whereas the Live Drums are assigned to the Drum 2 track (MIDI channel 9) within a style. The SD5 is equipped with 24 preset Drum Sets and 24 additional User Drum Sets that can be freely programmed by the user. Live Drums can be programmed and modified only within a Style, from the Arrange View menu.
Drum Set can be modified from value 1 to 15 using the DATA CURSOR buttons. The fourth page is used to control the pan value (stereo position) for the single groups to be selected with the relevant function keys. The pan value of the selected group can be modified in steps of 64 to the right (R) or to the left (L) using DATA CURSOR buttons. Pressing both DATA CURSOR (Left and Right buttons at the same time brings the pan back to the neutral value, i.e. in the centre (-).
Arranger Arranger The Arranger is the heart of the automatic accompaniment of the SD5. It allows you to create a dynamic and versatile arrangement using the Styles and their controls. A Style is a group of short sequences relevant to major, minor and seventh tonalities or different tonalities combined with each other.
Arranger Editing, modifying and copying accompaniment tracks and sections is achieved with Edit Patter. For each Style, the SD5 allows you to modify the voices that are assigned to the tracks, as well as the volumes, the pan value and the amount of the effects sent. The Arranger is controlled through the SD5 keyboard, pedals and buttons, or via MIDI. This last feature is particularly useful for those who use a MIDI accordion.
Arranger bass tracks without the need to keep the chord pressed on the keyboard. In fact if the LED is off, the accompaniment plays only as long as the chord is pressed on the keyboard, whereas the drums tracks continue playing irrespective of whether the chord is held pressed or not. TEMPO - : Decreases the Tempo value of the Arranger or the Sequencer. TEMPO + : Increases the Tempo value of the Arranger or the Sequencer.
Arranger The higher the value, the more the track volume depends on velocity.
Arranger bars of the Intro selected and to continue playing the currently activated Arrange. F7 Lock Drum: This makes it possible to lock the Drum Set change independently from which Arrangement has been chosen, within the same Style. This means that when you change from one Arrangement to another, this section will remain unaltered. If this function is activated while switching over to another Style, the previous settings will be maintained with the sounds of the Style selected, i.e.
Arranger F8 Bas Octav: The parameter indicates the +/- transposition by two octaves of the bass timbre and is modified using the DATA CURSOR push buttons. F9 Ped. Board: This function must be enabled by pressing the relevant function button in order to use the optional pedal board controlling the arranger performance. For further information please see the section dedicated to the pedal-board.
Arranger of each single track that makes up the Style. When the modification procedure has been terminated, the new modifications to the Style are saved overwriting the original Style. For easier programming, you may set the Arrange View pages while the Style is playing. The tracks playing are indicated by a small blinking point. The single tracks of the automatic accompaniment, as well as Lower 1 and Lower 2, are assigned to the relevant function push buttons.
Arranger ARRANGE VIEW: SECOND PAGE The reverb quantity of each track (and for the Lower parts) remains unvaried for all Style parts. To carry out any modification, select the track or the part pressing the relevant function button. Modify the value pressing the DATA CURSOR (Left and Right) buttons. ARRANGE VIEW: THIRD PAGE For each Lower part or track it is possible to establish which effect (Chorus, Delay or Distortion) will be used to process the voice further to the quantity of the effect applied.
Arranger STORING A CUSTOM STYLE ● ● ● ● After having modified the parameters, press the SAVE button to activate the storage operation. Select F2 Styles from the page displayed. Enter the Style name using the keys of the keyboard and DATA CURSOR push buttons. Confirm the operation pressing F10 Save or exit the page pressing F5 Escape. The modified parameters are saved together with the Style in the Flash RAM memory.
Using a MIDI pedal for the bass Using a MIDI pedal for the bass The SD5 enables the connection of a MIDI pedal to control the manual bass line and to set the chords. The MIDI reception channel is to be set for the bass part on the same transmission channel as the pedal, by proceeding as follows: ● Connect the MIDI pedal to MIDI In 2 (Keyboard). ● From the main page of the display press F6 MIDI. ● Select F2 Channel Receive.
Pattern Edit Pattern Edit With all the current styles on board plus the bonus styles offered within RAM, there is still the eagerness for some to create their own styles … totally from scratch. The SD5 can be used to record new Styles both in real time and also by exploiting a MIDI connection to automate and speed-up the process when recording from an external source. The SD5 is compatible with Patterns of the MS series.
Pattern Edit As for the recording principles, for each Part you must establish which tonality is to be recorded between Major, Minor, Seventh, Seventh Major, Seventh Minor and two combinations that are required to keep the rhythm and lead structure unaltered while modifying only the tonality. Once the tonality has been selected, establish which Part is to be recorded using F1 and the relative track, by selecting it with push buttons DATA CURSOR.
Pattern Edit F2 Note, or of all the notes using F1 Global. The value is entered using the DATA CURSOR (Left and Right) push buttons. F10 Execute: This executes the modification. F5 Escape: This is used to cancel the whole procedure unless it has been previously confirmed using F10 Execute, and sends to the previous page F1 Record. F10 Clear: This is used to cancel the contents of a track in a different manner for the Drum tracks and the lead tracks (including Bass).
Pattern Edit Close is used to stay as near as possible to the notes even when the chord played is further away. Parallel on the other hand is used to shift/transpose the notes without altering their intervals. Generally the more musical results are obtained with the Close mode. With the Retrigger mode set to On, when the chord is changed, the fundamental note for the bass track is always played and the notes programmed on the Chord track found in the first measure are repeated instantly.
Pattern Edit F9 Destination Track: If a Chord track has been selected in F4 Tracks, you can copy it to a different Chord track than the original one, as explained for F6 Destination Part. To select a different Chord track, press function push button F7 Destination Track repeatedly. F10 Save: This is used to confirm and to save the copy procedure set with the parameters as indicated above. F5 REMAP This function allows you to modify the order of the Patterns within the Pattern bank.
Power On Set Up Power On Set Up It will soon become clear to you that each time you power on the SD5, there are some features that always default to values set by Ketron (which you almost always have to change or modify prior to using the keyboard). Some of the most important settings programmed for the use of your SD5 can be stored in such a way that they are automatically called up when turning the instrument on, thus avoiding loss of time involved during re-programming.
Song Play, Midi file and Karaoke Song Play, Midi file and Karaoke Playback of Midi files has never been any easier. With the direct play feature of the SD5, midi files can be played back and recorded instantaneously to disk (either HD or FD). Song Play is accessed using the dedicated push button on the control panel and is used to reproduce and organize Midi files, whether they are on hard disk or floppy disk.
Song Play, Midi file and Karaoke ● ● To go back to the main page of the display, press the SONG PLAY button (the LED switches off) To alternate between one folder and another in Song Play, use the DATA CURSOR (Up and Down) keys. To create a chain of Midifiles and to save them on disk, use the Chain Edit function in the Disk utility menu, for which you are recommended to refer to the dedicated section of this chapter; you can create a chain with a maximum of 32 Midifiles, saved as .
Song Play, Midi file and Karaoke F1 GM Part: This calls up a set of pages for modifying the parameters of a single tracks. Later on you will find a specific section with more detailed explanations. F2 Count: This has a double function. It displays the number of the beat as the Midi file is being played. By pressing the relative function push button on the other hand it leads directly to the Effects page where the effects for the Midi file can be set. This page is described in the Effects section.
Song Play, Midi file and Karaoke F9 Drum Remix: This allows you to enable the Remix function of the drums track. For further information, please refer to the Drum Remix chapter. F10 Lyric: The display choice applies to all Midi files. Its default setting is Off. Press the function push button F10 again if the Midi file has Lyrics events and they will be set in syllables on the display. From the lyrics display page, exit using the F10 function push button.
Song Play, Midi file and Karaoke trol an external MIDI module. The page called up from F5 Filter shows a table of four lines and four columns relative to the sixteen Parts. To be able to access the MIDI filter of a single Part use the F1 and F6 push buttons for Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 that are to be selected by pressing the same push buttons repeatedly. Use push buttons F2 and F7 for Parts 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Song Play, Midi file and Karaoke SAVING THE PARAMETERS MODIFIED (SAVE SONG SETUP) The parameters that can be saved within a Midi file are indicated in the table and also include the volume balance between Midi file and keyboard, the Tempo value, the settings of the Drum Mixer, the voice for the Right section and the settings for the Vocalist track. The saving function is called up only when the Midi file is stopped and must be used only within the F1 GM Part menus.
Drum Remix Drum Remix To liven up or simply modify a song, all you have to do usually is change the rhythm structure of the drums or the percussion instruments, which is always contemplated in the remix of famous songs and dance. When the user changes the drum track, he also often modifies the balance of the individual percussion instruments too, with a crescendo in the number of instruments that make up a rhythm track.
Video Out and Karaoke Video Out and Karaoke The optional video card allows you to use a TV set or a computer monitor (or a LCD monitor) to display messages, words set in syllables from a Midi file or to duplicate the display of the SD5. The options for the video output are grouped in the Song Play menu that is enabled using the dedicated push button.
Recording a Midi file Recording a Midi file Everything that is played on the SD5, including the automatic accompaniment and the changes made on the control panel, can be recorded as a Midi file directly to a Floppy Disk or Hard Disk. Everything recorded can later be modified using a sequencer software for PC/Mac. Considering the fact that the accompaniment tracks use sounds in standard General MIDI, it is also possible to quickly create some arrangements which will also be compatible with other GM modules.
.KAR, .MID (Midi files) & .TXT (text) files .KAR, .MID (Midi files) & .TXT (text) files The karaoke function is used to show the words (Lyrics) of a Midi file being reproduced on the display, aligning the text in syllables via some graphic solutions. The words of a Midi file are handled as meta events and therefore there are Midi files + Lyrics with .MID and .KAR. extensions. Generally, all there is in a .
.KAR, .MID (Midi files) & .TXT (text) files The display of the words in the Arranger mode can be disabled using function push button F7 Text, set in Off, in the F3 Utility menu that is accessed from the main page of the display. To automate the loading procedure of a .TXT file you can use a Registration keeping in mind two conditions: ● The Single Registration must have the same name as the .TXT file to be loaded. ● The .
Using the microphone Using the microphone The SD5 can use two separate microphones if an optional adapter is utilised to divide the stereo input into two microphone inputs. Input Mic 1 is the only one that can exploit the built-in Vocalizer plus it is provided with a separate audio output to allow the lead voice signal be processed with an external mixer. To use both microphones correctly, you have to adjust the input gain using the dedicated cursor on the front panel to reach an ideal noise signal level.
Vocalizer Vocalizer The Vocalizer produces particular types effects used to harmonise the audio signal on the microphone input according to some specific rules. It is dedicated to the human voice, and adds two or three notes to the single note sung into the microphone, thus creating a vocal duo or trio utilising the sound of the voice on the microphone input.
Vocalizer F6 Effects: this allows you to modify the effects settings, to apply the Vibrato and the Limiter, to modify the vocal sound and to activate a number of modulations. The Reverb and the Delay are the general ones and are programmable. The parameters are selected with the DATA CURSOR (Up and Down) buttons and the value is entered with the DATA CURSOR (Left and Right) buttons. To go back to the main page of Vocalizer Edit, press once more the F6 Effects function button.
Vocalizer is controlled by a MIDI track. Further to assigning an algorithm, you may also select the Off condition which will disable the Vocalizer for this specific button only. If neither an algorithm nor the 'Off' condition is selected, two dashes will indicate that for this specific button the general Vocalizer conditions apply. Vocal Set 1, called up when the Vocalizer is activated, assigns Arrange A and C the Harmony Right mode, and Arrange B and D the Unison mode by default.
Vocalizer Full 2: Full 3: Jazz 1: Jazz 2: Jazz 3: MIDI Mode: area to the right of the split point is taken as reference. The chord, instead, is recognised on the keyboard area to the left of the split point, regardless of the inversion of the note played to the right of the split point. Similar to Full 1, but with the voices generated above the note played to the right of the keyboard split point.

Effects Effects The DSPs of the SD5 are capable of producing Reverb, Chorus, Delay and Modulation effects that can be applied to the Upper and Lower parts, to the accompaniment tracks and to external audio signals. The SD5 employs up to three DSPs to generate the global Reverb; and for the Upper parts, an additional three groups of Chorus, Delay and Distorsor effects that can work both in parallel and in series in Programs and in parallel for the automatic accompaniment tracks and the Lower parts.
Effects F10 Save: This confirms and saves the parameters modified in the memory selected using F9 Destination. The single parameters to be modified are shown in the middle of the display that are selected using the CURSOR (Up and Down) push buttons and are modified using the DATA CURSOR (Left and Right) push buttons. PARAMETERS FOR CHORUS ALGORITHMS Level: Delay: Feedback: Rate: Depth: This is the level of the signal. This is the length of the delay. This is the repetition degree of the Delay.
Registrations Registrations This is one exiting feature of the SD5 that captures the over-all settings of the keyboard at any one time and thanks to these special memory locations, all the control panel settings and the main parameters that control the SD5 can be called up instantly. Once the Registrations have been programmed they make it easy to quickly change the Style, the Voice variations, the settings of the effects and above all the automatic call-up of the TXT files.

Utility F7 Disp. Time: The value entered using the CURSOR push buttons establishes the time that the page in use remains displayed, at the end of which the SD5 returns to the main page of the display. Set as Off, the page in use remains displayed until another page is manually accessed or cancelled. F8 Disp. Mode: When set to Autoclose, the page from which the Voices and the Styles are selected, closes after the selection has been carried out and the previous displayed page is shown again.
MIDI Accordions MIDI Accordions The SD5 can be managed by an Accordion connected via MIDI, thanks to the fact that the attribution of the MIDI channels to the single parts of the keyboard, the bass transposition, the velocity and also the use of the bass voices can be controlled. The controls directly depend on the MIDI implementation of the Accordion therefore, for very simple MIDI accordions some of the functions described hereafter may not be available.
MIDI Accordions THE MIDI PARAMETERS FOR THE ACCORDION When the Accordion is enabled using F10 Active, the SD5 calls up the MIDI Accordion 1 set-up to attribute the MIDI channels to the keyboard sections in MIDI reception. The MIDI Accordion 1 set-up is that most frequently used with most MIDI accordions. The attribution of the MIDI reception channels can be modified in menu F6 MIDI that is accessed from the main page of the display and then using F2 Channel Receive.
MIDI MIDI MIDI is a communication protocol used to transmit and receive commands, messages and events that are then translated by the compatible musical instrument into notes, events and commands. This protocol is used to connect a computer with dedicated programs to the SD5, to control other sound modules or keyboards directly from the SD5 and to connect the SD5 to an Accordion, a Sax or a MIDI guitar.
MIDI using the Modulation or some other MIDI parameter that directly affects the voice. The MIDI filters can also be used to better control an external MIDI module. The page called up from F5 Filter shows a table of four rows and four columns relative to the sixteen Parts. To be able to access the MIDI filter of a single Part use the F1 and F6 push buttons for Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 that are to be selected by pressing the same push buttons repeatedly. Use push buttons F2 and F7 for Parts 5, 6, 7, and 8.
MIDI that are called up using push buttons PAGE +/-, and include Volume, Reverb, Effects, Pan, Shift, Channel Rx and Channel Tx (already explained in the previous section). F10 Mute is used to cut-out only the track selected at the time from the reproduction. THE MIDI PARAMETERS OF THE SD5 SECTIONS From the main page of the display press F6 MIDI to call up the menus dedicated to the SD5 sections. For each single function the single sections involved are displayed together with relative value.
MIDI Program Change message associated with the Voice in use is also to be transmitted to MIDI Out. The transmission function is enabled or disabled using the F10 Select push button. The 2nd/Prog section refers to the Second Voice and to the Program memory, processed as a Single Voice. The Voice sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 refer to the single Voices of a Program. F8 Program Change Rx: The same as F7 Program Change TX, but dedicated to the Program Changes received on MIDI In 2 (Keyboard).
DISK DISK The SD5 can be supplied with a Hard Disk and has a standard Disk drive for Floppy Disks of 720 Kb (DD) or 1,4 MB (HD). The SD5 uses the DOS format for the Floppy, therefore the same floppy disk can be used to exchange files from PC or Mac. The direct connection to a PC on the back of the control panel is used to directly control the contents of the Hard Disk via PC, by means of KetronFT, a free application that can be downloaded from the www.ketron.it internet pages.
DISK displayed by pressing F3 Save makes it possible to select the file to save. Once this has been selected with the relevant function buttons, a second page showing any files of the same type already stored in the Folder is displayed. In this way you are in a position to see the name of the files before starting the saving procedure by pressing again F3 Save. The page displayed by F3 Save: makes it possible to modify the file name with the keyboard keys, DATA CURSOR.

MidJay Utility MidJay Utility The SD5 allows you to manage many functions of the Ketron MidJay remotely. In particular, you can view the files stored within the MidJay on the display of the keyboard and access them simply and immediately. You can play Mp3 files, Wave files, Midifiles or pull-up and manage DjLoops and Grooves in real time.
MidJay Utility EXECUTING A DJLOOP The DjLoops consists of a group of audio loops that the user can link in real time. The MidJay avails of DjLoops with just drum or complete with harmony and melody. The SD5 allows you to control the DjLoops directly from the panel of the machine and you can therefore use it as a "base" when playing live. To open a DjLoop, select the Groove/DjLoop/Sfx section using function key F4. Select the DJ_Loop folder and press ENTER.
MidJay Utility ACTIVATING THE CROSS FADE This function is used to gradually switch from one song to another without interruptions or without sudden variations in volume. The function works within its own section (for example, between two Midifiles for the MIDI section or between two Waves in the WAVE section) or it can be activated for all songs of a Play list.
Multi-Tab Multi-Tab The Multi-Tabs consist of a group of 16 buttons to the left of the keyboard, which are used to activate and control many of the functions offered by the SD5.
