I feel like harpsichords are always ignored! You put quality sounding harpsichords in the SV-1 and I'll buy one.
Anyone else interested?
Why no Harpsichords?

harpsichord addition
I would also like the addition of a harpsichord.
Whether harpsichords are useless or not depends entirely on the kind of music you're playing, of course. For baroque continuo, they're required. They can be fun in folk music and I could imagine using them in folk-rock. I would use them in occasional English Country Dance gigs.
But I doubt the SV-1 really needs them for the vast majority of users. There are decent cheap keyboards with decent harpsichord samples out there, and they'd be a better choice for that kind of gig.

Just ONE harpschord please... it CAN be very useful in pop
Please, the Beatles used it often... Elton John used it in his first album... come on Korg, give us a one of your best harpsichord samples from your workstations or something.
I love improving on the harpsichord on a sunday morning.... (I never use the clavs) - am i in a funk band, no. do i write music for 70s porn, mayby....

Something to make me seem more intelligent than I actually am.

harpsichord is great for bass - in acoustic guitar songs, for example, or when spicing up a bass line in the 3rd verse
I think though, what designers and manufacturers have missed (totally missed) is the ability to revert back to the original design and intention of something like the Clavinet.
The Clavinet really was intended as a sort of electric clavichord / harpsichord for the home. In a way, one of the first emulator keyboards.
( in a way the Hammond B3 is a pipe organ emulator, the Mellotron is the first sampler, and the Rhodes is a piano emulator .... all now considered instruments in their own right )
So .... why couldn't a manufacturer get the core sound of a string being plucked, provide variation of those ... then run those through "pickup" emulators or microphone emulators, pre-amps, amps and so on.
In that way (yes I am mad and think about this stuff too much) you would start with a string being pluck (or struck) which could give you the harpsichord as well as the clavinet .....
anyway, I was just thinking off the top of my head
