Whats the best to buy for Varranger - SD1000 or SD2

[Julesg]

Hi Guys

I am deciding to buy a Ketron module but difficult to decide.
SD2 seems to been very well settled in Varranger and stable, whereas the SD1000 is newer, more powerful,  but seems to have had a lot of problems.

Are the SD1000s problems all sorted now?
Is the SD1000 as well integrated into Varranger as the SD2?
and is it worth the extra 100 euro?

Any help would be great.  Thanks  Jules

If You wish better sound, very closed to actual top hardware arrangeurs,
than buy SD1000. With sound quality, it is on the same level of the best
workstations. It has many, many, Multilayer Stereo Sound Programs
(Super Articulation Sounds in Yamahas terminology), and very good effects.
Also there are about 250 audio Drum loops in a best quality !!! It will be
implemented in vArranger2 like SD2, and Dan make it very good. To time
are Commands for Insert Effects of SD1000 implemented. I have tested
with MIDJPro and SD1000 is pretty better, and has more audio drums
and percussion Loops. SD2 is OK, but its Sound Quality is pretty under
quality of SD1000. This 100 Euro differnce is worth the every cent. To time
is no unstability or another bugs with vArranger and SD1000. Don't worry
be happy with SD1000 !!! Dan has made Update which fixed all of bugs
from FirmWare 1.1 of SD1000 !!!

SD2 or SD1000? I would also go for the SD1000 today, even if it misses some sounds used in some ketron styles, that need to rework a bit the sounds and volumes of some styles.

But the SD1000 has many better features and sounds than SD2
