ReviewsSEXY. (very rarely can that be said about digital keyboards)
by Boris from Montclair, NJ
As a piano player in a musical age where everything is digital, modeled, and virtual, it's very easy to find yourself wanting to do an about face and turn back towards the wonderfully analog world of ... read more [+]warmth, character, and personality that old instruments exhibit. The korg sv-1 makes you forget that you are playing digital samples. The performer is only half of the entity of performance. The other half is the instrument itself, and the sv1 is a warm, encouraging, and inspiring companion. The samples are as good as it gets, and the action is tuned to the sounds seamlessly. November 18, 2011 Music Background: Pianist and keyboardist, Gigging and Recording Very importantly though, this is not an organ. It is a Piano (hence the weighted keyboard), and the organ sounds are there only for incidental use. If you are on the fence about this one, go play one. When i was shopping around, I was absolutely set on the Roland rd700. This one caught my eye in the store (for obvious reasons), i played it and it was absolute love at first chord. I couldn't stop playing it, and I stayed in the store for two hours. Get it. close [-] Korg SV-1 88

November 11, 2011 Music Background: I love playing the keyboard and hearing quality music 60 Smiles an Hour!
by Jared Kotler from Philadelphia
I have been a record producer for 25 years. Sold millions of 'em. Most of you would know my work. That said, the most important thing to me is getting the technology out of the way and making great... read more [+] inspired music. I use this keyboard in my live room to quickly get one of the 36 sounds that usually cover the basics of what I would want to build of off keyboard wise.May 7, 2010 Music Background: Producer, Recording Artist, Billboard "Song of the Year" winner 2000. My review is simply this: it is a poor musician that blames an instrument. Some sounds might not be perfect, but what I have found, the SV-1 is the most stunning advance in keyboard design in the past 20 years. Stunning in that it does precisely what it is built to do. Feel great, sound great and harken back to the days when instruments did not have LCD displays on them. I have run the 1/4 inch outputs through 1073's and recorded the piano and Rhodes sounds direct. Again... it is not so much the sounds, as the inspiration. When the part is great, the sounds becomes secondary. Listen to the Beatles or Led Zeppelin anyone? Bottom line, buy it, love it for what it is. An amazing instrument filled with only the greatest sounds of the modern rock era. It is inspiring to look at, inspirational to play, and it is like a VW Beatle. It seems to always be smiling at you calling you to play. I love this thing! If you like to play, don't think... buy it. close [-] Been Waiting for this keyboard for years
by M.L. Brier from denver, co
Ok I haven't bought it but you can better bet I will as soon as i get the cash. I have been waiting for this for years. As a working piano player I have had them all, kurzweil, fatar, roland and fina... read more [+]lly my last 5 years have been a yamaha p90. Even though I have lugged the p90 around for hundreds of gigs it is still too heavy and bulky. Finally a 73 key board that does it all. Nord was 80% of the way but it is way too expensive, bad interface, week piano sounds and it costs way too much. For us guys that work for a living at music Korg finally has listened to us! close [-]
March 11, 2010 Music Background: Professional Musician A Piece Of Art

This is the keyboard I've been waiting for since I started playing. With all the coveted essentials like pristine pianos, sharp organs, timeless electrics, and crunchy clavs... This thing is dynomite.... read more [+]April 4, 2011 Music Background: The action of the keys is great and the feel is familiar and textural. All the knobs, buttons and rear panel jacks are solid construction. And the 73 weighted keys vs. the typical 88 is great because I don't have to lug around 15 keys I don't use. The build is solid but surprisingly lightweight. And the color... God, the color... The XLR connections have made every sound man smile. Plus an input for practicing with my mp3 player? This keeps getting better. They put the headphone jack Ina convenient but discrete place on the front left side. With all this praise it's perfect right? Close... Here are my "complaints" - switching between favorites is not seamless. For a live performance keyboard I thought thu would have satisfied my lust for this feature, but alas I still haven't found one that can. Maybe it'll be a software update? - when using the drive section the only way to match volumes to other favorites is to use the master volume, or use the compressor. The compressor changes the sound a bit, but it works for the organ sounds. The master volume isn't controlled by presets so you have to memorize positions if you wanna get fancy. So I give it a 4.5 cause this thing ROCKS! close [-]
