New SV-1RV NEED HELP!

I just bought a Korg SV-1RV 73 (reverse key model) and am very frustrated. Wondering if anybody can shed some light on this.

When playing most of the EPs or Clavis, the click/clack/tick/tack sound of the keys being struck and played is showing up in the sound. Its way louder than I could ever find acceptable. It doesnt show up in the piano sounds, or in the EP/Bass split that was on number three- that EP sound is clear with out this happening.

Any way to fix this? Because the Rhodes sounds themselves are beautiful and why i bought this... but I cant use them live sounding like this making this a horrible waste of money.

The "RX Layer" is what you're hearing. If you don't like it, you can turn it down by pressing the Function button (it's LED should flash), and then turning the "Bass" knob in the equalizer section. The knob goes several times right round to go from Minimum to Maximum. This is all documented in the Manual (page 31 of the English v1.2 manual).

However, the real instruments sound like that, and the whole point of the SV-1 is to sound like the original instrument, so I think you should leave the RX sounds in there, and learn to love them!

In fact, they're arguably not loud enough - listen to this

The split sounds don't have RX sounds because the split uses the RX layer for the lower sound - you can balance the lower and upper parts using the method described above. The pianos do have RX layer sounds, but they're more subtle - try depressing and releasing the sustain pedal suddenly to hear them.

Note that the edits you make to the RX layer will disappear if you switch to another sound and back, but you can permanently adjust the RX layer by saving your modified settings in one of the eight radio-preference buttons.

With the computer-based editor, you can change the RX sounds (along with EQ, amps, filters, etc.) and save them permanently so that they'll be where you want them when you return to that sound. I personally think the levels of the key clacks are pretty good in the factory presets, though I've got an original SV1 and don't know if those were tweaked with the RV release.

The player hears those clicks and clacks when you sit behind a real electric piano, but they don't come through the amp in real life.

I think the RX stuff is cool, but it's more of a fun illusion for the player.

Really?

Both the beat up whirly and the Pianet I own make clickity clack thump thwackkity thwack thwack rickitickitack sounds that are audible through the amp... Granted, they may not be as loud as can be perceived in some of the presets. But it's there. Just like hearing a damper pedal on a CP80, totally audible.

I stand corrected. I've only played a few real EP's.
