The SD5 from Ketron is a professional 61-key arranger workstation designed to bring you great results in live and studio applications. The heart of the system is the high-quality Ketron sound engine, which provides hundreds of realistic orchestral sounds from piano to brass, woodwinds, strings, and more. The intuitive interface includes a large backlit display, a pitch/modulation joystick, and a variety of buttons so you can quickly access the features you need.

The SD5 offers excellent arranger functions for automatic accompaniment. Each style has four arrangements, multiple intros, fills, and endings to create complete, dynamic songs on the fly. A versatile rhythm section is also included that has several live percussion sounds, live drum sets, and audio drum loops to provide a great foundation. The riff mode brings a touch of artificial intelligence into the arranger, generating chords for you automatically so you can concentrate on having fun. The keyboard has excellent connectivity options, including MIDI in, out, and thru connectors, a microphone input and output, 1/4" audio outputs, and connectors for sustain and volume pedals and a footswitch.

The optional vocalizer adds harmonies to your vocal performance that can be controlled via chords or single notes on the keyboard. An optional video output interface is available and is ideal for displaying lyrics on an external monitor for karaoke. The built-in stereo speakers are powered by two 22W amplifiers to provide rich, natural sound right out of the box. If you're in the market for a versatile, portable keyboard workstation designed for a long life of professional use, the SD5 is a great option.
