I have been browsing around on the internet and found this item which looks quite interesting. Are any of you familiar with this sound module? Or are there any recommendations on any specific external sound modules which are capable of being connected to the Nord Stage Ex 88?
I am looking after orchestral sounds.

Any answers are appreciative!

Hello Haki,
Welcome to the forum!
I spent some time playing with the Ketron SD2.
IMHO,
It seemed to me like a "GM" General Midi tone module.
Everything on it sounds very GM also.
General MIDI sounds generally lack the character and refinement of most expensive instruments.

For the $350 to $400 USD that the Ketron SD2 goes for, you'd do better to pick up a pre-owned
Roland Sonic Cell, or XV-5050, or Yamaha Motif Rack "I did an eBay completed items search, they really sell that cheap".
I've owned all three of the instruments that I just mentioned, and they all have way better orchestral sounds.

Cheers, Hanon
