Jazz+ Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Different players with different backing tracks... I like them both. I think the Yamaha demo sounds a little more percussive or clacky and the Korg demo rounder and warmer. I think I prefer the Korg, I know I prefer the Korg player, but I like the Yamah too. Yamaha CP1 ( Rhodes starts at 1:40 into the clip): http://www.yamaha.com/namm/w2010/videosandphotos.html?CNTID=5102639&COLTYP=VIDEOS Korg SV-1 (Rhodes starts at 0:47 into the clip): By the way, here's Roland's SRX-12 vs Scarbee: http://purgatorycreek.com/mp3/srx-Scarbee.mp3 Find 660 of my jazz piano arrangements of standards for educational purposes and tutorials at www.Patreon.com/HarryLikas Harry was the Technical Editor of Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book" and helped develop "The Jazz Piano Book."

Tom Fiala Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Having tried both myself at NAMM, I preferred the CP1 over the SV-1. YMMV. Tom F. "It is what it is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLights Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 It sounds like Korg went for the earlier Rhodes sound -- i.e. 1970'ish Mark I and Yamaha went with a later model. Both sound great (and are played really well). Really like the clavinet sound w/ wah on the SV-1. _______________________________________________ Kurzweil PC4; Yamaha P515; EV ZXA1s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephonic Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Here's Greg Phillinganes doing the SV-1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xG4Aktxiag&feature=related It's funny how the same instrument can sound so different in the hands of another player. gear list.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm kinda wondering how this can be anything like a meaningful comparison: a 2,000-dollar, lightweight and relatively new instrument against one which will cost around five grand, weighs nearly half as much again and which has only been played by a handful of people in a presumably fairly noisy room at a trade show?

Dana. Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 As all of these sounds are convincing, this debate is now just a matter of preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jook Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 It's really more about how you dial it in. I'm surprised Jazz+ prefer the SV-1 now, I thought you were vehemently against its Rhodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
