UTILIZATION

Great at all questions.

SOUNDS

A different sound

21 polyphony, but just a little at the time very well. 180 sounds divided into 3 banks combis + 60, with an extension to memory card drive. 1 multi stereo effects. Keyboard very good quality.

UTILIZATION

Configuration and edition are machinery Ensoniq 90s, ie confusing for Japanese used synths but very logical for others ...

SOUNDS

OVERALL OPINION

I would put the SD1 really apart from other digital synths, it's really special to any point of view, because of its tone color, ergonomics, design, keyboard short, for me it is a single machine and is rare ... It is also very robust and reliable.
