Not bad eh? If you are impressed with these features then you could have probably purchased the DG100 just looking at a brochure. What we
and all of our customers too are really proud of are not just the specifications and the new functions, which are certainly one step ahead of the
current standard, but of how the DG100 sounds! We are proud of the new acoustic piano sample with a peviously unattainable timbral warmth
and realism. The 48 Mb of Wave ROM produces sounds of such authenticity and accuracy that they are the envy of many; the grooves with so
much infectious rhythmic vitality that it is impossible to keep your feet still while listening to them;
Before we even started to design the DG100 we thought of the sounds and the styles, which had to be the best ever. We are convinced that we
may just have achieved perfection!
Lots of fun from Ketron!
IMPORTANT NOTE: SOME OF THE COMMONLY USED TERMS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BRIEFLY EXPLAINED BELOW FOR THE BENEFIT OF
NEW USERS AND THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH PREVIOUS KETRON PRODUCTS
TIMBRE: An instrument or synth sound ( or ‘voice’ ) known more commonly as ‘sound patches’ comprising ‘factory preset’ or
‘user’ patches on other brand instruments. Ketron uses the word ‘timbre’ for these sounds to avoid any confusion with
the 4-voice split or layer setup called ‘PATCH’ as a sub-mode of ‘PROGRAMS’ on DG100.
VOICE: This again basically means the same thing as the ‘timbre’ above and refers to the factory or user sounds utilised to play
the Arranger or manual parts on the key- board. It does not however mean ‘human voice’ (which is called ‘vocals’!)
ENABLE: Simply means pressing a button ‘ON’ to call up or turn on a function etc.
ACKNOWLEDGE: (Chords etc.) To ‘recognise’,’identify’ or ‘confirm’ and sometimes ‘utilise’.
‘RELATIVE TO’.. : Simply means ‘related to’ and usually refers to a button etc. which calls up a group of voices or parameters of one
family.
MODIFY: Simply means ‘to edit’ or alter some parameter(s) for such purpose.
