Hello from France

I'm afraid that no new soundpack or new bonus will comes. No further contact from korg comes on the forums for a long time, the download page for SV1 is immobile for months, no recurrent desire of users has been granted (new sounds, new editor to create your own splits etc. .. .).
Product development seems discontinued. And I do not think it is possible to add new samples in its ROM. For these reasons, I think of abandoning korg for "Clavia Nord piano" whose acoustic piano sounds are more natural and deep, and constantly offering new sounds. Or maybe a yamaha, the cp1/CP5/CP50 piano sounds are more realistic and enjoyable.

I'm gonna have to agree with you. Korg seems to have abandoned SV-1 owners and their complaints altogether. I sold my SV-1. Just too many problems. I was hoping for a revised SV-2 (see my post) but now that Nord has made the Electro HP I think I'll forget about Korg, just like they forgot about us!
