At Ketron, we have a dream.
It seems incredible, but our higly acclaimed EVENT flagship is now entirely contained within this
remarkably compact module, featuring the same Sounds, the same Real Styles and all other functions
of the keyboard.

Perhaps no other arranger product has ever been created with such a concentration of musical possibilities.
The EVM is easily adaptable to various forms of use since it is fully Midi compatible.

If you are considering a compact, easy-to-carry device that can replace your arranger keyboard in
a live gig situation, during plane trips or in studio recording sessions, the EVM is undoubtedly the
perfect choice for you.

STYLE

EVM is designed to provide easy access to the most sophisticated style architecture ever developed on an arranger module. It comes with over 500 Styles, divided into Real Styles, Live Styles or MIDI Styles. The Real Styles, with their impressive authenticity, stand out thanks to the backing tracks in full audio format. EVM features a rich manual Lower section, with three independent parts and Mono / Poly modes. You can use the new advanced Style Edit to program your new styles and save any customized configuration in the User memory

DRUMS

The rhythm section features over 580 Real Drums and complete drum patterns with Intro, Ending, 4 Variations, Fill and Break, covering a wide variety of musical genres.
Unlike other musical instruments, where the rhythmic sequences are mostly short loops controlled via MIDI, EVM has real studio recordings of professional drummers available in eight or more measures, without any cuts or editing. The result is incredibly smooth and natural.
EVM provides Real Drum track equalization, as well as the Drum Lock mode which loops the rhythmic pattern that is being played. Furthermore, there are 94 new stereo
Drum Sets: with Drum Mixer and Remap, you can reassign the individual percussion sounds and save them in one of the 32 available User Drum locations.
The Groove section is outstanding, with over 700 percussive sequences, three independent Groove parts that control House, Hip Hop and Latin loops, as well as an amazing variety of Afro-Cuban, Brazilian or Latin percussion instruments, including Conga, Shaker, Maracas, Cowbell, Cajon, Tambourine and many more.

BASS

EVM's bass section provides a wonderful library of 256 Real Bass: bass lines that are recorded in the studio
by real bass players on various tones and perfectly synchronized with the rhythm of the style.
It is impossible to resist let yourself be carried away by the energy of these bass lines, from traditional Ballads,
Soul rhythms, to Disco Funk.

The tone color, the various keys correct positions on the neck and all the natural vibes of the performer give
the sensation of playing with a real bassist next to you!
Real Bass adapts naturally to chord changes, as if it were a normal MIDI bass, even playing To Lowest mode
with the bass upside down on the lowest note!
It is easy to switch between MIDI bass and Audio in real time (Twin Bass), as well as modify the voice of the
Real Bass using a parametric equalizer or lock the current set using the Lock Bass mode.
The series of functions available for Bass such as Manual, To Lowest, To Root and Bassist are particularly refined,
the latter for a combined control of the chord obtained between the Manual bass and the notes played on the
right. Finally, the Multibass supports custom Bass progressions for various chords.

CHORDS

Real Chord is EVM's most elaborate feature and the most entertaining one at the same time. You will be able
to control many guitar tracks or other instruments in real time, everything can be performed on several
tonalities including all chords on the scale.

More than 300 Real Chords, including a wide variety of recordings such as Folk, Jazz, Nylon, Electric guitar, and other instruments too like sax, harmonica, violin, trumpet and so on, all perfectly synchronized with MIDI into
the arranger architecture.
The Real Chord features a dedicated EFX Insert with Chorus, Eq, Overdrive, Phaser, Wah and other effects. The Real Chord pattern can be locked using the Lock Chord function to obtain “ostinato” peculiar of the Disco Funk genre.
Just listen to one of the EVM's Unplugged styles and get ready to be amazed by the authentic sound of a
simple acoustic guitar.
EVM's also has a vast library of Live Guitars (guitar loops managed by slices and controlled via MIDI), Long
Chord and five MIDI chords, capable of playing simultaneously and with different voices and volume.
Another noteworthy feature is the Multichord section, with piano accompaniments, strings and other
orchestral parts programmed for any given tones.

MODELING

The powerful features integrated in EVM were engineered for an enormous variety of musical solutions
managed by the powerful Audio Style Modeling system, with the possibility of choosing both the audio tracks
of Real Drum, Real Bass, Real Chord and the orchestral MIDI tracks that you want to drag into the arrangement.
Thanks to an easy navigation, you can create new rhythmic or harmonic patterns within a few seconds.
EVM is also an expandable gear: you can customize it by adding sounds and styles as well as audio recordings
of rhythm, bass and chords.

Stem plays up to five audio tracks simultaneously in perfect sync. Each audio track has individual Mute and
Volume controls, it is also possible to change its pitch and Tempo without altering the pitch of the rhythm. It is
also possible to exclude one or more tracks from playback, for example Piano or Bass, in case you want to play
them live. A typical use of Stem is the playback of backing tracks with or without singing (Minus One), a
particularly useful application for singers, guitarists in a live performance, but also for reed instrument soloists
such as sax or trumpet.
