|

Hi, I've been watching the various video's on the new Korg SV2. When I bought my Kronos the SV1 was still pretty new. The piano's on the SV2 seem better than what I have (stock) on my Kronos. Does anyone know if the sound engines or the samples used in the SV2 are updates to the Kronos stock piano samples?
I also use a Nord Electro 5 and I'm tempted to swap it for the SV2 as it looks like I can set up most of the splits and layers I'd need using the computer editing software. Has anyone had a chance to check out the organ samples? I don't use the Hammond much on my NE5, and even then only as a pad underneath a piano sound so they don't have to be that fantastic. |

you didn't say if you gig or not. Knowing requirements or being clear on them is important IMO

Anyway, IMO, Korg used their existing AP samples [ as on Kronos]. Thats what I hear.
The diffs are use of reverb and reverb FX variation. Korg is always strong on these Fx.
Of course, in the Korg demo, Luke is a fabulous on keys.
Maybe you can find a direct quote from Korg where they state they sounded with what AP samples. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8

Well just look at what he could do with an SV1 5 years ago:

Sorry GregC, I didn't think it mattered.
I play the festival circuit and often don't get a soundcheck, just a line check. I don't get the chance to see what my rig sounds like out front unless someone has recorded the event. Luckily I'm usually on a sizable stage with a full PA and sound engineers to manage it.
However... quick turnarounds mean the Kronos both in terms of weight and difficulty of 'on the fly' changes and a slow start-up is not ideal. So my Kronos lives at home in my small but beautiful formed studio. My gigging rig is a Nord Electro 5 for pianos/organs and a Korg KingKorg for synths, pads/lead.

If the pianos inside the SV2 are basically the same as the Kronos 2 then I'll stay as I am. But... if the pianos are better than Kronos 2 then I could give up the Nord for it.

yeah, knowing where your plans/priorties are helps to frame my answer more accurately.
I agree with your initial take, so maybe continue a list of pros/cons to nail down an informed choice. The SV2 is very attractive, so its easy to make a quick or more impulsive decision. It is very expensive IMO.
I like the reverb and FX control on the SV2. However, in your festival environment I question how effective reverb is on your pianos , on punching
thru the FOH or large PA. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8
