Ketron EventX Entertainer Module

General

The Ketron Event has already been out for a while and, answering the cry for a modular edition of this jaw-dropping monster, Ketron presents the EventX. While there's definitely nothing wrong with Ketron keyboards, this module gives users the chance to simply link their favourite keyboard (even an 88-key model) up to their favourite sound module and save a little bit of cash in the deal. What you get in return is the same extensive control panel and generous display screen.

The Ketron Event: The Sound

We could just tell you how impressive the sound is, but all of that is already made glaringly obvious when you start counting the gigabytes of capacity. 240 gigabytes of space is supplie, 80 gigabytes of which is taken up by the system, leaving a good 160 gigs left over for a mass of sounds. Besides your standards, you also get a mountain of phrases, including played riffs and loops, all with a far more realistic feel that you could get with any standard samples.

Other Features

This is one hefty instrument, so it comes loaded with a set of 61 semi-weighted keys that provide a wide and roomy playing experience. The large touchscreen display grants quick and intuitive menu access and a full army of buttons and faders populate the control panel, so in that sense, this model is still a traditional keyboard - you can even plug in a microphone and take advantage of the set of integrated vocal effects. Basically, it's near-impossible to list the scope of this instrument in just a few paragraphs, but we'll do our best: wireless connection via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; a built-in media player; an HDMI port so lyrics can be displayed on an external screen; the ability to build your own custom styles; and, of course, plenty more. Basically, if you're a professional and uncompromising performer and need an instrument that's going to match both your skills and ambitions, then the Event is most definitely it.
