Gary75 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm so pleased I bought one, I had the opportunity to try the NE3 that my uni just bought, and it felt very inferior in it's playability, the action just plasticky. I found the other bells and whistle sounds quite poor too, the mellotron sounds are very lacklustre in their detail. I preferred the NE2 I had.

jerrythek Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Jerry, If it's straight from the board and a stock Rhodes patch, then how did the bell tone get so minimized to sound like a "Herbie Rhodes"? Why can't Aiden and others seem to defeat the prominent bell tone in the Rhodes patches? Which patch was Frank using and how did he have it tweaked? J+ I'd have to ask Frank which sound he started with, but I know he turned off the Amp Sim and rolled off some treble. The rest is is touch and what he played. Let me ask him if he has any more to add. regards, Jerry Korg Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 That sounds logical to me. If you roll off the treble and boost the mids on the SV-1's Rhodes you do lose a lot of the bell prominence. You don't lose it altogether but then the Rhodes is a tine piano after all.

Gary75 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Turning off the amp aim is the first thing I did as I posted earlier in the thread, I also rolled some treble off and changed the velocity response. Very nice it is now. I love the immediacy of control, and the fact it's pointing towards you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana. Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Jerry: I have some questions about the SP-170. I posted them in a separate, specific thread, but since you didn't respond, I'm re-posting them here: Are the piano and EP sounds derived from the SV-1? Are the two piano sounds "Japanese" and "German"? Are the two EP sounds a Rhodes and a DX-style? How does the new "Natural Weighted Hammer Action" compare to the RH3 action on the SV-1?

Gary75 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'll get back to you on the velocity Aidan, I'm away from the SV until the weekend. I picked the heaviest velocity I'm pretty sure. The NAMM live video shows you really can tone down the bells, you can do it without going into the editor. It sounds really nice through a bigger speaker system. My monitors don't do it justice.

BlackandWhite Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Has anyone found a case / gig bag that the 73 key SV-1 fits well in? The 73 fits nicely in my Roadrunner gig bag, with 2" extra length and 3" of extra width in the bag. It's a pretty lightweight bag; I paid $60 or $70 a couple of years ago at GC. Should be good enough for house-to-car-to-stage and back. Does anyone know if you can use both the 1/4" and xlr outputs simultaneously? The manual seems to imply it's either/or. I had thoughts of running 1/4" outs to my monitors and xlr to FOH. Doable?

Aidan Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'm informed by a dealer that the official bag should be available in a few days' time but will probably be a bit more expensive than generics, as you'd expect.

Keys to the Hwy Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'm using a Nord GB76 and it fits like a glove with the back and side covers tucked back and the front cover the keys.

jerrythek Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Just wanted to drop by and let you know we've released a new OS and new soundbank for the SV-1. For now you can find it here: SV-1 OS 1.1 It will show up on korg.com and other distributor sites shortly. Regards, Jerry Korg Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz+ Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Does the new sound bank include a "Herbie Rhodes"?

Gary75 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yum yum! An OS update, I'm just too tired to unpack the SV and load it up. Starting to sound like Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon "I'm gettin too old for this sh**" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Now Jerry has broken cover on this, I can tell you I've been demoing the new OS for a couple of weeks. One important difference is that the sensitivity of the buttons has been dialled down, vastly reducing any chance of inadvertently switching sounds or turning off local etc. You can also change the balance in layered sounds like piano/strings.

Gary75 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Any new presets to write home about Aidan? Woohoo I managed to drag the SV upstairs to the keyboard room, slowly but surely im getting their. Will do the update tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrythek Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I didn't share the sounds with Aidan - at the time we just wanted to "test" the button response change, while we were finishing the sounds. D-Bon - this group of sounds were started before the recent dialog about the "Herbie dark sound". We'll be releasing many more sounds, so that stuff will be next on our radar. Herbie just took receipt of his SV-188, so maybe we should work on that sound with his input - good idea? :-) regards, Jerry Korg Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrythek Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Jerry: I have some questions about the SP-170. I posted them in a separate, specific thread, but since you didn't respond, I'm re-posting them here: When? I obviously missed it - sorry. Are the piano and EP sounds derived from the SV-1? Nope. It's a new piano sound for all of our markets, only used once before as part of a silent piano system Korg only sold in Japan. It's really nice, but not the SV-1. Are the two piano sounds "Japanese" and "German"? Both German variations I believe. Are the two EP sounds a Rhodes and a DX-style? Yup. How does the new "Natural Weighted Hammer Action" compare to the RH3 action on the SV-1? It's lighter to the touch/response for sure. It was designed to be put into lower-priced products and to add much less weight than our top-of-the-line RH3. Regards, Jerry Korg Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobalazs Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I tried the board on Wednesday second time at a shop in Hungary, as my first meeting with the instrument was at a noisy music show. I played for about an hour, and I have to say I'm still really impressed and have a willing to buy it this year. There's only one but very fat negative experience about this board: whenever I change instrument it mutes off all the sounds still ringing. This cut is not just really disturbing but sounds awfully digital. Jerry, is there any chance to find a workaround for this and implement into an OS update? IMHO this issue can really be a deal-breaker for a live performance instrument. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate the great customer support you do on this forum!

One important difference is that the sensitivity of the buttons has been dialled down, vastly reducing any chance of inadvertently switching sounds or turning off local etc. Hi Aidan ! Does that rule for all of the buttons across the frontpanel and is changing programs by favourite buttons slower now too ? I hope they found a good balance. You can also change the balance in layered sounds like piano/strings. That´s excellent news,- it´s one of the most important features for me. It shows, the SV-1 might be more software upgradable than expected. Now, I hope for a future update offering each programs of a layer will receive MIDI-info on a separate MIDI channel (local off mode) and being able to play one program of the layer w/ the internal keyboard (local MIDI channel) and the 2nd program w/ a 2nd keyboard connected to MIDI-In and on a different MIDI channel (local on mode). Selectable separate MIDI-Transmit channel would be great too (but maybe it´s already existing,- don´t know). thx for info A.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
