Korg SV-1 Stage Vintage 73 Key Digital Piano
The Korg SV-1 Stage Vintage Piano is a performing ivory ticklers dream machine. Its hammer-action full-cut weighted keys will satisfy even the pickiest of traditionalists, and its timeless vintage-inspired sound set is in a class all by itself. Lets take a listen to whats under the hoodAvailable in either 73 or 88 keys, the Korg SV-1 is loaded with 36 sounds concentrating on stunningly authentic-sounding acoustic pianos as well as tried-and-true meat-and-potato sounds encompassing the history of keyboard-based performance. Vintage electric pianos, funky clavinets, classic and instantly recognizable organs, string machines and, of course, pianos are all here at your beck and call, all at the touch of a button.Korg put a lot of work into the details of this fine instrument, recreating not only the authentic tone and timbre of sounds you know and love, but the intricate details that comprise the sound of playing these vintage keyboards. All this attention to detail results in an unbelievably realistic playing and listening experience.Dedicated knobs and buttons, all laid out ergonomically across the front panel and easily within reach take the place of backlit displays and menus, resulting in a satisfying, organic (if not orgasmic), hands-on performing experience.You can further enhance your sound using the onboard signal processing. Theres a 3-band EQ, compression, chorus/vibrato, tremolo, and wah. Plug in a sweep pedal such as Korg's EXP-2 or XVP-10 and have full control of the wah effect. Funky! Engage one of the amp models to simulate playing through a cabinet (complete with noise reduction). Onboard are multiple amp heads and speaker cabinets adding color and drive to the already rich detailed sound. Pass through Korgs Valve Reactor circuitry and add some authentic tube warmth to the signal. An end-of-the-chain limiter will keep things under control and provide a nice even sound across the full spectrum of sounds.The Korg SV-1 Stage Vintage Pianos outputs...
