After a few years of playing a SEM Ciao reedless, bought because the carrying weight is light, I find myself longing for real reeds. I know that whatever I buy, probably in the fall, will weigh more that the Ciao, but I also know that I can put the accordion, case and all, on a dolly and be happy with that.
However, I don't want to give up midi. I don't necessarily need an arranger, so either an internal sound card or an external module will do. I like Ketron sounds. I'm very familar with them because I have an SD-2 in one of my computer systems. I also have about all the literature I can get on MusicTech systems and I'm looking forward to hearing their internal sounds and comparing them to the Ketron sounds.
What I haven't been able to find in as much detail is information on Master. Their site is not as well organized as MusicTech's, and I don't know what their internal sounds are like.
Is there anyone here who has familiarity with any or all of these systems and can give me pros and cons of each with regard to ease of use, flexibility and an objective comparison of MusicTech's internal sounds, Master's internal sounds and the sounds of the Ketron SD series?
Thanks.
