Someone on the PA4X thread here inquired about the current state of the new Ketron Event arranger which had its latest O.S. update ( 3.0) which in actual fact means its fifth update since its release 18 months ago !!!
For what it is worth and as a Ketron Event user myself who used to play Korg arrangers for 20 years in a row, here are my thoughts :
1
I have had the Event for over a year and it is quite a beast of an arranger. For folks who like to sit down and "play keyboard " it is not the best choice, ergo it is the worst choice. ( get a Genos or a PA5). For those performing on stage who want to have the feel of being accompanied by a real band there is no contest: get yourself an Event , with the PA4X or PA5x as runner up in this division... Here is a link to my home recordings over the last couple of years. There are five or six of them with the Event, many with the SD9 etc.

to give you an idea what's on the market ( software, styles, sounds, samples etc) here are two links ( youtube) to KEVs in Italy and SCM studios in Holland. KEVs offer many new styles availing themselves of new samples, new drums and new Real Chords. SCM studios specializes in ( extremely low priced) Real Chords and User Samples. (N.B. user sample memory in their ms3. format is limited to 800 Mb. But Kevs provide samples in a different format that go in another memory and is quite extensive).:

Doesn't matter what comes out and sounds better then the 5X, if you have tons of styles and sounds from previous PA series you cannot jump ship especially if you are a middle eastern player with a locked set that you paid alot of money, Ketron has very little support. |

persons transmit the problem to Ketron and have a return by an update , actually the Ver 3.00 with new functions ! just take a look on Facebook ! |
