The 9 Midi KETRON settings are displayed at the centre of the screen.
- STANDARD: In this mode the SD9 may be controlled by an external Midi controller (via the Midi In) above all to play the Styles and Voices of the Arranger sound module.
- ACCORDION MANUAL: This is the Accordion Mode and should be used if you connect your SD9 to a Midi Accordion. Accordion Mode automatically sets a specific Midi channel on the following sections: Right Ch. 01, Left Ch. 02, Bass Ch. 03. It allows you to play the accordion manually, namely without an automatic accompaniment.
- KEYBOARD RIGHT VOICE: This is an optimised mode that allows you to control the Voice Lead via the external keyboard. It is substantially a variation of the Standard mode.
- COMPUTER SEQUENCER: This mode allows you to connect your instrument to an external Software Sequencer or Computer (via the Midi In). Select this mode when you are playing a Midifile or sequences from a computer (the SD9 will function like a GM sound module).
- ACCORDION STYLE & VOICE: This is a variation of Accordion Manual mode which uses the same Midi channel optimised for use with a Midi accordion and also guarantees the Arranger control via the accordion connected to the Midi In of the instrument.
- KEYBOARD STYLE & VOICE: This is yet another variation of standard mode which is optimised for Arranger control via an external keyboard connected to the Midi In of the instrument.
- PLAYER 1 OUT ONLY: This configuration may be very useful when you want to play a Midifile on Player1 using only the external sound module connected to the Midi Out of your SD9.
- PLAYER 2 OUT ONLY: As indicated above but for Player 2.
- STYLE OUT ONLY: This mode allows you to play the Arranger section using the sounds of an external module.
At the bottom you will find 6 virtual keys that provide access to new pages on which you may customise the Midi sections or enable specific functions.
- GM PART: Provides access to the control window of the 16 tracks called parts and to the 16 corresponding Midi channels used during reception and transmission from the GM sound module built into the instrument.
-ARRANGER KEYBOARD: Provides access to the control window of the sections and corresponding Midi channels used during reception and transmission from the sound module built into the Arranger of the instrument.
- CLOCK IN: When this is enabled (yellow) the SD9 accepts the Clock command from external Midi appliances and may be synchronised with an external Sequencer / Controller.
- CLOCK OUT: When this is enabled (yellow), the SD9 transmits the Clock to External Midi appliances (Sequencer/Controller).
- USB MIDI GM : Turns the USB Device port on the back panel into a Midi port for transmission and reception. In this mode the Midi connection to sequencer software may be made directly using a USB cable without using the Midi ports and traditional Midi cables.
- USB MIDI KEYB: Enable feature for connection with USB remote keyboard
- MIDI PORT: Pressing this key opens a window to route the Midi ports
The window displays 3 devices on the instrument and the respective connections to the Midi In and Midi Out ports. Midi In 2 port is addressed exclusively to the Keyboard (Global).
Info: You can check an incoming MIDI activity thru Midi In Port by a led placed on EXIT button .
