From expressive jazz sessions to energetic dance performances, it offers an inspiring and emotionally engaging playing experience for both stage and studio use.
Advanced Styles, Drums, and Grooves
At the heart of the Ketron 9TAKE is a powerful style architecture featuring over 400 styles, including Real, Live, and MIDI styles, many of which use full audio backing tracks for unmatched authenticity. The rhythm section includes more than 580 Real Drums recorded by professional drummers, along with 94 stereo drum sets, extensive groove libraries, and advanced tools such as Drum Lock, Drum Mixer, and Groove mode.
