Today I received my new Ketron SD1000.Its hooked up.Ketron Midi In to Piano Out,Dual RCA's to amp.Switched on digital piano(RD700SX with a built in display screen),switched on External(zone).
Bank A,   MSB =0,value 1-128.
Bank B,   MSB =1,value 1-128
Bank C,   MSB =10,value 1-128,
Bank D,   MSB =11,value 1-128.

I still have the SD2 sound module which sets up on the RD700SX the same way except:
Bank A= MSB 0,Bank B=MSB 1,Bank C =MSB  10,
I've played through the banks looking for pianos and electric pianos.I found a lot of pianos but few electric pianos.I want to find the electric pianos heard in this demo:

I'm just using it as a sound module without using the computer.I'm not ready to learn that yet.
Everything works without any problems.From straight out of the box to playing it took a few minutes.Learnt that from the SD2.If you could help mith any advice,I would really appreciate your help.

Update:(March 23).

Can I connect up both the SD2 and SD1000 together if I use the SD2 first to the midi port,knowing that its always worked then piggyback the SD1000 to it? How do I do it? On my Roland RD700SX screen how do I get both modules showing,or,at least to get all sounds on both modules showing up so I can play them?

Update:March 27.
Today I took delivery of a "Midi Solutions-programmable input selector".I connected it up with 1 x midi cable from Roland RD700SX Piano Out 1 to
http://www.midisolutions.com/prodpis.htm
In A( left side),1 x midi cable from Out(right side)to
SD1000 Midi In.
Problem solved.All the sounds are there.
The programmable input selector goes between the piano and the SD1000.
Any of their products can be used except Thru Boxes and Power Adapters.

I bought a brand new Ketron SD2 sound module from a music shop in South Australia.I bought it 12 days ago.I've got it set up on my Roland RD700SX stage piano at home.It works perfectly with my piano.Its just not what I want.I want to buy the SD1000.My SD2 is for sale.I prefer to sell it in Australia.They are retailing here around $599.I got it for less than that.

You will need a dual RCA cable to go from SD2 to your amp and 1 MIDI cable to go from SD2 MIDI in to MIDI Out on your piano.

Thanks.

I see there's a lot of posts on the SD1000.I've seen the youtube videos of the SD1000 and they are just impressive to say the least.

What I'm trying to find out is what are the differences between the 2 of them? Are there sounds that are on both of them and other sounds that arent? Which one has more pianos and electric pianos?

Has anyone bought an SD2 but ended up buying the SD1000? What made you change over?

Thanks.

Hi.I just joined here.I'm looking to buy a new sound module when I found the Ketron rang of modules,etc.I  would like some feedback on what they are like.If you have either the SD2,SD4,SD1000 could please tell me if they can be connected straight into a digital piano ? I have a Roland RD700SX.I would like to know if I need to buy a computer/ipad,etc to go with it? My budget is limited so I'm looking at the various brands.
