    Hi Leigh. I agree with you that most of the synth- and pad sounds are very thin and old-fashioned. But where do I get suitable sounds from?. Do you have an idea. I enjoy your performance. Weiter so!

    Great video, very nice playing, thank you for this. Quick question if I may, where are you finding the ‘Sway’ style or performance as I can’t find it in my Event, did you download it or did it come with the Event? Really strange.

    Good morning, it is a superb keyboard with a little warmer touch than the Genos! I think they are the greatest of keyboards with a difference and obviously for different tastes! Ketron have concentrated more with the latin and ballroom world and Yamaha with the Rocky-pop world! Its only my modest opinion!

    Leigh, I love your performances even though they are short and so relaxing. Wish I had a repertoire like yours but I only play by ear. I do love the strings here as you say they are way over the top of Yamaha Genos2 I have seen that today The demo. I have always used Yamaha for the fact I understand how it works. I have currently a tyros 3 and play it nearly daily. still finding interesting things in it. However when I see this keyboard I really wonder how much of a learning curve I would have to endure inorder to have it sound like this. You are amazing my friend.

    Hallo Leigh, sehr gute Vorführung. Ich spiele schon immer mit Ketron. Hatte mal kurzzeitig einen Tyros 5 und Genos. Beide wieder nach kurzer Zeit verkauft. Das "Gepiepste" ging mir auf die Nerven. Ketron hat sounds die man auch in einer Band spielen kann. Ketron is the best on the market!!!

    Hi Leigh, I've 'endured' both long reviews. Very informative, but I missed one annoyance you had in the first video. You demonstrated that every percussion in styles sounded like in another room with the door closed. I have not heared you mention it in this video. Is it better with the update, is it an overall setting you can change now?

    Hi Leigh, I've seen a video of you doing the KETRON EVENT Pro1 Package Review. By the way, great review!
    But I'm very curious if you would also buy the Ketron Event yourself in combination with the pro pack 1 from Ajamsonic ? There is already a pro pack 2 available for the ketron event. I've heard the Genos 2 too and it's great too, but I find the sounds of the ketron event much more authentic.
    I hear a lot of styles in the Genos 2 that were also in previous series like the Tyros. It all sounds much better now on the genos 2 that's just a fact. But still... I just like the feeling of ''live instruments'' that the Ketron Event gives me when I hear it. The strings of the ketron are many times nicer than those of the Genos 2.
    But not to make the story even longer, would you buy the Ketron Event + Pro pack 1 yourself? The previous reviews of yours about the ketron Event make me doubt, hence the question. Thanks in advance! Greetings Ben.

    • @LeighWilbraham
      @LeighWilbraham  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hello Ben, Ketron have launched a v3 of their software which ive yet to review and test. Ajay does want me to take a look his new pack V2 - which I hope to do in the next few weeks.
      Would I buy a Ketron... If they have fixed the bugs that I reported in the first review, then I would consider it. I hope to have a review of the new V3 Ketron soon, please subscribe to the Chanel and you will get notifications when I post the next review of The Event. If theres a keyboard I'd love to see perfected, it's the Event - Needs less compression on style parts etc.. Let's see what comes with the update.

      @@LeighWilbraham Hello Leigh, thanks for your quick response!
      I just checked the Ketron website for the list of problems they fixed with the V3 Update. I have to admit that I was shocked by the large number of problems that were there, I knew there were problems but not that there were so many.
      You almost start to think that Ketron released the keyboard too early to be ahead of their competitors Yamaha and Korg.
      But luckily they do fix the problems quickly, unlike Korg who are unfortunately not so quick with it.
      I myself still have the Korg PA4X Musikant 76, but I misjudged the technology a bit, which I find quite complicated.
      I have always had Yamaha Keyboards before that were always easy to use, but that is now disappointing with this Korg PA4X.
      Anyway, I have subscribed to your channel and will keep an eye on your channel. Keep up the good work with all your videos because you are doing a lot of people a great favor with it. It's fun to see how much you enjoy yourself while making all your videos.👍😀

    It’s certainly a treat to hear something different to Tyros and Genos. If that flugelhorn is anything to go by Yamaha need to be worried. The one touch settings on Tyros 5 are very poor for anyone having to rely on them. And, as highlighted, Genos strings are over hyped.

    Many of the sounds are outstanding but other parts need a fix. But knowing the Italian they won't be sitting on their thumbs.

      Actually I was thinking just like you. I had a very rare opportunity to play the top 3 by renting a Ketron Event, Yamaha Genos 2, and Korg Pa5x each for one month. I went in thinking like you. After using each for a month, I came away with a Korg Pa5x. I was simply blown away by the styles and abilities it has over the other two. Honestly, the Pa5X is a deeper keyboard. In terms of sounds, they all sound good. Some sound better on the Event, some better on the Genos2 and some better on the Korg Pa5x. The difference for me was the depth of the keyboards (all were good) and the styles which both were better in a noticeable way on the Pa5x.

    Der Ketron kann mit dem korg pa5x nicht konkurrieren, die Klänge der rechten Hand sind manchmal recht sonderbar oder einfach nur alt. Die Styles sind aber hin und wieder schön. Für bestimmte Aufgaben ist das Ketron Event aber interessant und bietet Dinge, die andere Keyboards so nicht haben.
    Was passiert eigentlich, wenn man ein Audiostyle, das 130 bpm schnell ist auf 60 bpm stellt, wie klingt das?
    Auf jeden Fall ist Ketron ein High End Keyboard, mir hat schon der Audya gefallen, aber die Klänger der rechten Hand waren nicht besonders gut.

      Naja, dem kann ich so nicht ganz zustimmen. Habe mich auch intensiv mit beiden Keyboards und vielen Videos hier beschäftigt. Fakt ist: ich werde mir höchstwahrscheinlich beide kaufen, denn beide haben ihre Daseinsberechtigung. Aber gerade die Sounds und die Artikulation beim Ketron ist unübertroffen. Das kann derzeit meiner Meinung nach kein Keyboard auf dem Markt. Es gibt Videos, die dies eindrucksvoll verdeutlichen bei keinem anderen Keyboard. Hat man wirklich diesen realistischen Live Effekt. Ich besitze derzeit das Audya. Und der Event ist jetzt endlich der, wenn auch späte würdige Nachfolger.. und man bedenke: wir sind ja noch lange nicht am Ende der Updates und Firmware angekommen. Ich hoffe, dass noch viel Sounds und Styles für das Event erscheinen werden. Wir sind ja gerade am Anfang. Mein Genos werde ich jedenfalls verkaufen. Weder das Bedien-Konzept noch die Durchsetzungskraft der Instrumente können überzeugen. Das war aber schon bei den Tyros Modellen so. Am Ende ist aber alles natürlich subjektiv dem einen gefällt dies dem anderen gefällt das. Und so muss es auch sein.

Auch das Bedienkonzept hat mich beim Audya nicht gestört, es hat mit dem Korg damals mehr gemeinsam gehabt als mit dem Yamaha. Aber folgende Dinge haben mich doch gestört. 1. Man konnte die Audiospuren der Drums nicht deutlich verlangsamen ohne Qulitätseinbußen. 2. Ich habe es nicht hingekriegt die Audiodrums gegenüber dem Restarrangement leiser zu machen, so dass , falls ich mich richtig entsinnen kann, die Audiodrumspur für jede Variation und jeden Fill gesenkt und abgespeichert werden musste. Das hat Zeit gekostet, ich hatte begriffen, dass ich soviel Zeit nicht habe. Auch beim Yamaha PSR S970 hatte ich das Priblem mit den Audiostyles, klangliche Qualitätseinbußen beim Verändern.

      @@hensongustav9381 hallo, ich habe eigentlich immer ganz normal mit den Audios Styles gespielt. Grundsätzlich ist eigentlich schon lange bekannt, dass man solche Dinge nur in gewissen Grenzen verlustfrei verändern kann. Ich glaube plus -20 PPM, mehr kann die Korrektur nicht verkraften. Ist ja auch logisch, weil man hier die Physik malträtieren will….;) mir persönlich wäre auch kein Fall bekannt, wo man es so extrem verändern müsste. Auch die Lautstärken waren immer eigentlich okay für mich. Erst im Genos habe ich eben festgestellt, dass in Spuren unterschiedliche Lautstärken sind, die mir so nicht gefallen haben und das Problem ist, während während des Spielens schnell diesen Regler zu finden und auch noch einzustellen ist ziemlich fummelig. Dazu kommt, dass man wegen jedet kleinen Änderung bei Yamaha einen Style natürlich komplett neu abspeichern muss . es gibt eigentlich keinen Werk Style, den man nicht irgendwie nicht noch nachträglich nach seinen Wünschen optimieren müsste.
      Ich selbst arbeite auch auf der Bühne zu 60 oder 70 % mit MIDI Files oder sogar Audio Files, zu denen ich dann spiele. Dem Publikum ist es sowieso egal. Hauptsache man macht noch etwas. Wenn ich den Event habe, werde ich jedoch mit Sicherheit wieder mehr zum Style Spiel zurückkehren, weil das bestimmt einfach viel mehr Spaß macht
