Welcome to the DG 90 - Digital Piano
Congratulations on having chosen a Ketron digital piano. If you read this manual carefully, which provides
detailed descriptions on each single procedure, you will be able to fully exploit and customise the instru-
ment according to your own taste and way of working without any problems whatsoever.
The DG 90 digital piano has been conceived following twenty years of experience of Ketron in the field of
keyboards for live musical entertainment, for professional piano bars and for the musician who prefers to
arrange his own songs.
Most of the operating system (which can be up-dated by downloading newer releases from the Internet)
together with most of the potentials offered by this amazing digital piano are derived from the current
flagship keyboard, the SD1. Rather than reducing power and sound (which is usually the case), we have pre-
ferred to commit ourselves to a model without compromises for the sound quality, and a limited control
panel layout (buttons cost money!), and without eliminating important functions such as the programming
function of the Styles. Our DG 90 can be expanded with the Vocalizer unit to harmonise the voice, with a
built-in hard disk, with the video interface and with a Flash RAM card, which adds eight MB’s of space for
new samples. Considering the fact that music continuously changes, the DG 90 piano has also been adapt-
ed to keep astride with time with innovative Styles and new functions for live music, offered for the first
time ever on piano with arrangers of such categories. There is the Remix function, being the most simple
and enjoyable way of changing the rhythm track of a Midifile using the Styles of the DG 90 instrument. In
a matter of seconds you will be able to remix a Midi base track infusing it with new vitality and expres-
siveness.
The DG 90 piano is naturally compatible with the most popular formats used to play a Midifile and display
text. It automatically converts the Patterns of the MS series and maintains some crucial functions such as
the reading and synchronizing function of text files with the arranger and the Midifiles. Once all the
options have been installed, the DG 90 piano becomes the only musical instrument you’ll need to play live
or to record in the studio.
What is more important however is not just the technical data but how the instrument actually plays.
The DG 90 piano has been designed to make music and as you read through this manual you will realise
why Ketron keyboards have always been chosen by the best of music experts.
Have fun with the DG 90 - Digital Piano!
