Now Korg delivers the next generation of Stage Vintage with the SV-2. Packed with cutting-edge technology — we’re talking 128-voice polyphony, twice the sounds, and more than ten times the sample data of previous SV models — and hot new features, the SV-2 is the gig-ready stage piano you’ve always wanted. Boasting Korg’s superb, top-of-the-line RH3 weighted hammer action keybed, the SV-2 Stage Vintage Piano is addictive to play. There are 72 breathtaking sounds onboard, including an exhaustive collection of deeply sampled electric and acoustic pianos, organs, strings and orchestral instruments, synths, and more.
From iconic EPs, clavs, ’trons, and string machines with vintage effects and amp models to the finest German, Italian, Austrian, and Japanese grand pianos; playing the SV-2 is like having decades of music history right at your fingertips! The SV-1 set the standard for real-time hands-on control in a vintage-focused stage piano, and the SV-2 takes it even further. No menus here! The sleek, retro-futuristic chassis is outfitted with a purposeful, ergonomic control set of per-function knobs and buttons, so you can nail your sounds quickly in the heat of a set. And look good doing it.
Sublimely soulful renditions of coveted keyboard classics
Korg brought their formidable audio sampling technology to bear in the SV-2 to give you meticulously accurate — and sublimely soulful — renditions of coveted keyboard classics. Sampling fastidiously maintained instruments using the latest multi-mic methods, every sound has been captured with stunning precision. From the slap of the tine and the release of the hammer to the click of the contacts — every element is faithfully preserved in the RX Layer, so you can mix in as much or as little of these authentic artifacts as you want. The full dynamic range of each instrument has also been faithfully preserved to re-creating all of the timbral — as well as volume — changes generated from a delicate pianississimo glance to a forceful fortississimo strike — and everything in between. Korg’s stringent sampling regimen serves up instruments with hyper-detailed, 3-dimensional presence, allowing the sound to assume its rightful place in the performance space — and your mix.
A treasure trove of essential sounds
The SV-2 packs a treasure trove of classic electro-mechanical, transistorized, tape-driven, analog, and digital keyboard instruments, all rendered in remarkable realism. These must-have instruments defined a half century of popular music and the SV-2 puts them all under your fingers — in mint condition, with perfect tuning — no maintenance needed. It’s all here, and then some!
