KETRON EVENT SERIES: COMPARISON DETAILS BETWEEN THE VARIOUS VARIANTS (EVENT, EVENT-61, EVENT-X, EVM)

[@jackhope45]

Thanks for sharing the main information. Short and friendly...Wish you all the best from Germany. 🍀

[@AjamSonic]

Thanks. More coming ...

[@paulussantosociwidjaja4781]

Hmm, the more you are making me so impressed with Ketron EVENT, AJ - Thanks!

[@AjamSonic]

My pleasure! More to come ...

[@A.K.A777]

Thank you very much! I hope my accordion Roland FR7X will be working better with EVENT X than with SD90. Still bellows expression not to friendly to SD90. Or maybe i do something wrong on setting up. Thank you very much!

[@AjamSonic]

I would suggest taking advantage of the EVENT X's settings, by filtering out velocity/volume on MENU - MIDI - EDIT - RX (Receive) - Filter. Filter out Volume, velocity, expression etc on all unwanted parameters (Right, Chords, Drums ...etc) - in otherwords, parameters whose values you do NOT want the bellows/expression to impact. Same is true for SD90.

today I learn : there is EVM. if only Yamaha would make something like this one ...

[@AjamSonic]

They went out of the module business a long time ago together with KORG and ROLAND. Only KETRON makes Arranger and Sound modules now.

Once again, thank you AJ for producing another very informative video. Q1: If a Ketron Event module (EVM or X) is coupled with my Tyros5 + the Yamaha specified TRS-MS05 Speakers, I assume the module sounds also play through the same speakers? Q2: Will the foot pedals I have connected to the Tyros5 also control the Ketron modules, or will I need to connect separate dedicated Ketron pedals? and Q3: Does the Event's "Intro and Ending" recognise and play a Major 7th ie CM7? (The Yamaha Arrangers only recognise Major or Minor Intros/Endings, not Maj7). [Now all I have to do is decide between either an EventX or an EVM for my non-gigging setup] Best regards Sir.]

If you do not care for any sound from the Yamaha and use it only as a controller, then yes - you will connect the OUTPUTS of the KETRON into the INPUTS of the speaker. If you want to use both instruments, I recommend you get a small mixer, connect both outputs of both instruments to the mixer - then the output of the mixer to the input of both speakers. If the Yamaha Tyros has a line input ,you could 'get by' with connecting the output of the KETRON into the input of the YAMAHA, then the output of the YAMAHA to the speakers, however the KETRON does have a 'hot' signal output and may sound distorted this way.

[@RinaldoJonathan]

TRS-MS05 has special connector only for Tyros 5 (replacing the PSR inbuilt speaker). The Ketron won't sound from that particular speaker, since it was receiving MIDI and outputting Audio, unless you also plug the Audio Out from ketron to your Tyros aux in. the rest, I don't know.
