Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Like the prior reviewer says the acoustic instrument sounds in the SD2 are far better than similar Roland synth modules. I've been searching for the best acoustic musical instruments for many years and not other module even at 2 or 3 times the price has as many excellent sounds.
The Tenor Sax, in fact, is a wonderful breathy Tenor reminiscent of Stand Getz not only in the low register but also in the upper one, whereas I find the baritone sax to be too harsh, I prefer a more mellow Gerry Mulligan quality.
The clarinet is also excellent, especially in the upper register where it has a rich, brilliant voice -perfect for jazz.
The violin and viola recorded w natural vibrato are also top notch -with wonderful dynamics.
The Golden Trumpet is one of the smoothest trumpets you can find and the various muted Trumpets are also pretty good.
The flute is quite good, but I've got better trombone sounds elsewhere.
This synthesizer works fantastically well with a wind controller such as the EWI-4000s, the newer EWI-USB, or Yamaha models.
For the maximum fun, be sure to use it with Band-in-a-Box and you will have a wonderful combo going in no time at all. You will notice that when you enable an entire family of an instrument, you will get some instruments that obviously are outside the family. This is because the SD2 has a modified General Midi implementation, done, I'm told by the manufacturer, in order to remain compatible with some older Ketron synth modules/instruments which were designed prior to the popularity of General Midi. If you want to hear some samples of what this synth sounds like, go to the manufacturers site, or go to[...] music site and look for my Jazz2010 page.
