i found a nice little organ that goes very well with my Korg SV-1... a Hammond SK2! Sweets for the sweet...

http://www.jimeshleman.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/webassets/.pond/SV1.jpg.w300h225.jpg This is my SV-1 73 set up for a Christmas party. The SV-1 is on the stand made for it by Korg. There is a Music Pad Pro in front of the keyboard, which is used to display sheet music and play MP3 ...

A dirty little secret is there isn't much difference between a bass amp and a keyboard amp... except bass amps tend to cost less. Partially true. Bass amps were almost the only amps available for keyboards at one time so they got pressed into service, but today's keyboard amps have horns or ...

I own and use both keyboard amps (Motion Sound) and PA speakers (JBL EONs) and 90% of the time I use one of my two Motion Sound amps. Most keyboard amps are not designed well and use cheap speakers that don't give a balanced sound, which is why so many people use PA speakers. But PA speakers are a ...

The new black SV-1 is stealthy - it almost defies being photographed. If they had put the reverse keys on the black SV-1, it would be invisible. I like the red/reverse model better, but I have no plans to upgrade from my current red SV-1 73. There is one improvement I would like to see Korg make to ...

Yeah, I'm the president of Korg like you're a professional keyboard player VC. If you spent as much time learning about an instrument before you bought it as you do posting garbage online you would at least be an educated troll instead of just a troll. Nobody made you buy the SV-1 untested - that's ...

My point is; If they’re marketing this as a device that will be factory updated (in competition with what Nord & Yamaha-in the XF- are doing), seemingly insinuating that there will be new sounds introduced in the same or similar fashion as the other companies, then they should give us that same f ...

Many of these questions have been answered in other threads/topics. And much of this thread sounds like Nord trolls trying to plants seeds of discontent with the SV-1 that aren't really there. The SV-1 isn't meant to be a load-the-hot-samples-of-the-month keyboard. It's an old-school replica of many ...

The SV-1 is a throwback to a time when keyboard players had to work to get the most out of their instruments - creating the right combination of keyboard/amps/effects pedals etc. It was expensive to own all those keyboards and a pain to tote and there were no LCD's and multifunction controls, but ...

A music store near me had the SV-1 73 and I played it on and off for three weeks before deciding to buy it. Even then, I didn't realize how full and authentic the sounds were until I got it on stage. And then once I spent some time and tweak the sounds to my liking, it became my favorite keyboard ...

A Pro-Tec case of similar size, material and design to the SV-1 73 case would cost less than half of what the Korg case costs.

Some thoughts: After many trials of different amplification options my choice was the Motion Sound KP-500sn... here's why: *Motion Sound amps use Eminence speakers - a great brand. In particular, the KP-500 uses neodymium woofers which are lightweight and they have a flatter frequency response in ...

Once you get good at it, the Korg SV-1 stand is fast enough. I've found that the best way to setup the SV-1 using it's stand and case is to remove the stand from the SV-1 case first, then lay the case and keyboard on the floor topside up. Unzip the top of the case (the keyboard should be facing you ...

Stereo is more for recording. They only people who will appreciate a stereo setup live are people sitting directly in the center of your speakers. The person sitting in the center of your speakers is often YOU. So yes, stereo makes a difference. I use the Motion Sound KP-500sn stereo amp and it ...

Yes, I LOVE the Motion Sound amp. I owned the KP-200s before the KP-500sn and I think the 500 sounds better in the lower midrange, which really helps with both AP and EP sounds. The stereo sound works well and overall i don't think there is a better stage amp for the SV-1 on the market BTW I own the ...
