Hit Function button.
Adjust Bass knob (+/-): -less strings; +more strings.

This is the same system as adjusting the RX Layer (noise) on other patches.

Same for adjusting Bass guitar level in the piano+bass patches.

More tips, see if you find something new:

Hi Teddy,

So glad you posted this. Been wanted to adjust these parameters, but hadn't figured it out on my own.

Here's one for you... can i define my own split and layers? If so, are the instructions available somewhere? Any quick advice from you?

Thanks for your post!
Glenn

Hey Glenn;

Glad the tip helped you.
As to your other question, the short answer is: No.

Split locations and layer types are defined and built into the patch.

Each patch is a preset ROMpler sound actually 2 sounds.

In the piano or EP patches that have "noise" such as string or tines noise to add to the character of the sound, that noise is a sound layer (RX Noise) that plays along with your main layer. So the "function + bass knob tweak" adjusts the noise sample relative to the main sample.

The bass/keys splits are not technically a split, they are layers. The bass layer only extends up to a point and the keyboard layer takes over from there. In other words, the bass sample layer plays silent notes above a certain key (which you cannot change, it's hard-wired into the sample).

What you can do of course is load in the patches that you want from various sources around the web. We have a few posted at Korg Users facebook group. And of course load up your Editor and tweak the patches, there's a bit more power in the computer software. Save whatever you come up with and post it if it's cool. And relax, knowing you got a rompler with knobs that can be twiddled live .

Some guys also use the SV-1 as a weighted MIDI controller and then there's plenty of options.

Thanks Teddy - very helpful.

Midi controller is a great idea. I don't feel like lugging two full keyboards. I gig with a group where 95% of what i need is vintage pianos/organs/strings and basic synth. SV-1 is obviously perfect for all of that.

Midi-ing out to a sound library or synth module is a great idea for getting the other 5%!

rock on...
