SV1 RH3 Keybed Fix Thread

[EinsteinBarbie]

My findings after one day of using the fixed keybed:
-no more bouncing keys
-the key travel distance has become shorter because of the new rubber contacts
-dynamics have decreased because of this (when I record the midi data coming from the SV1 the loudest velocity I can produce is around 110)

So the solution is not optimal; you win some, you lose some. The awful double triggering problem is gone, but so is some of the great 'musical feel' the keyboard initially had.

I think Korg should have replaced the entire keybed with one that has the full dynamic range, instead of limiting the dynamics with a quick (and much cheaper) fix, but so it goes...

Thanks for the update.
I'm getting mine back tomorrow.
I'll let you know how it goes

Hi Einsteinbarbie

1. When and where you had the repair performed
May 16 2012 at the shop where I bought it.

For my info, which shop was that (in the Netherlands)?

curious,

It was a sax repair shop, that happened to have one standing there. They usually don't sell pianos, so you won't find one there anymore. I won't name them here, since the shop owner has been nothing but helpfull in trying to resolve the issue with Korg.

on the contrary, i was considering to buy mine there but if its a sax shop, i probably wouldnt know it.
