KETRON SD9 Manual page 47

This screen gives you direct access to the 4 FILL ins and 4 Breaks of the Arranger. The panel only gives
you access to one fill and one break at a time – however, when this button is pressed, the FILL/BREAK
you hear depends on the Arranger/Variation that is being played before the button was pressed (as earlier
mentioned above). So, if you were playing Arranger A and you press the FILL in button, Fill 1 will be
heard. If you were playing Arranger B and you pressed the BREAK button, BREAK2 will be heard. If you
were playing Arranger C and you pressed the FILL in button, FILL 3 will be heard.

When you press the page button (2/3), page 3 will be displayed and looks like this –
The first 3 soft touch buttons at the bottom of the screen are also accessible as described below under (4.J –
STYLE VIEW – DRUM on Page 60). By having them here right at your finger tips, it means you have
direct access to these functions without digging into menus and pages to find them. The beauty of the SD9
PRO is that this same page offers you 5 Programmable soft touch icons (USER TAB 1-5) which you can
assign to any of the functions within their menu. Let's explain each of these icons and their functions:-

FILL TO ARRANGER:- As the name implies, as you play a style, if you press the
FILL IN/BREAK button, the Arranger/Variation automatically jumps to the next one
once the fill is over. Once it gets to Arranger D, it cycles back to Arranger A.

AUTO FILL:- If you turn on the AUTO FILL (yellow), then as you play the style and
switch form Arranger to Arranger (Variation to Variation), the style automatically plays a
Fill in between changes so that it sounds flawless and more professional. The other way
to achieve this same result would be to press a FILL in and then while the fill in is still
playing, press the next Arranger (variation). With AUTO FILL on, this saves you one
extra button to push – which means you can focus more on playing and less on navigating
the SD9 PRO

After Fill:- The fill In is automatically activated if you press down hard on the keys. This
is the best as your fingers never have to leave the keybed. With this turned on (yellow),
simply play and press hard when you want to activate the fill in!

USER TAB (1-5). Touch any of these to display 30 (in groups of 6) functions you can
assign to these buttons. Turn the data wheel to display the next set of 6 functions and
when you see a function you want to assign to any of these, simply touch it and it will be
assigned to that particular soft touch button. Repeat this for the others. When done, press
