Korg SV-1 vs. Rhodes Mark 2, Chorus On/Off

[paganini99]

Korg is really a very very good instrument, of course its not so like a original Rhodes, but you have in korg a lot of very good sounds, please not compare with original instruments, be realist!

[hadrienboye]

the original one just sounds alive, real and gutsy !

[kphlx2010]

There's nothing like a real Rhodes!

Where does this guy live? I want to steal his hands when he is sleeping. LOL

[smusicmakernash]

I love your rhythm and your grooves. Do you give online lessons?

Thanks

NOT COMPARABLE

[tyleryesta1]

how did you get that sound for the sv1. what amp setting is it. thanks for all your help on this subject. I really hope this keyboard has the rhodes tone I'm looking for.

[MichaelBradus]

Korg Sv1 sounds like piss.

[tyleryesta1]

can you get more of a early mark 1 tone out of the sv1 by eqing or by using the editor? I like it the way it is but I'd like to have the option when playing Herbie Hancock tunes. to me it sounds more like a mark 2 80's model but they said they modeled it after a mark 1.

@tyleryesta1:

You can modify the sounds to your own liking, however I noticed the original rhodes to be somewhat less dynamic. I know it sounds kinda strange, but the original rhodes has more 'mudiness' to it.

Lately I did use the compressor to even it out just a bit, but I hope the SV-1 sound pack 2 offers some advantages too. I'll check it this weekend, and let you know!

[tyleryesta1]

Thanks for replying.. I've been kinda obsessed with getting the right keyboard for my band, and recording so any info from owners of the sv1 is useful. I hear what you're saying about the early mark 1's, I basically don't like as much bell in my rhodes sound. so can you some how lower that? and I'll be interested to knowing what you think of sound pack 2, especially the dark tine rhodes sound. thanks again.

[lennartmusic]

@tyleryesta1:

So, here's a quick overview of the new sounds in Service Pack 2. I found the Wurlitzer sound more genuine, it's warmer and it has a longer sustain. The new rhodes sounds are very useful in getting different characters when playing. I do think you can find your Herbie sound.

The Grand pianos are louder and a bit warmer than the first versions, and there are some nice clavs also. I noticed most of the new sounds don't use the tube section, but do sound warmer, so check it out!

[tyleryesta1]

so because they done use the tube section does that me they can get that much warmer when applying to the new and improved sounds?

The original video has been edited. in the fist version it was obvious that you can get more dynamics from an old Rhodes + a priceless analogue chorus than a nearly 2k buck SV-1 but.... I do not have an old Rhodes/Wurlitzer in my garage and I don't have that priceless analogue effect Professor Lennart played with. For my own point of view a SV1 is a definitely a great choice. If you want the best for your buck deal ga to SV1 as I will.

[tyleryesta1]

usually you can hear the fake sound coming through on the higher notes. in the sv1's case I notice it more on the bottom end. not enough resonance for my taste. does anyone know if sound part 2 has a more Herbie sounding rhodes. if it doesn't then how did they expect to compete with nord?

[tyleryesta1]

the sv1 was modled after a mark 1 late 70's.

[emilshere]

I love the mechanical moises. can you crank them up louder in the sv-1? The release noise of the tines and thge metallic clanks and things... I always boost them alot because any presets you get with a keyboard do not have enough of those noises in them. your preset sounds very good however.

[M0nsieurX]

Hi Lennart, i had the immense pleasure of sitting next to you at the Alto Cafe this weekend demonstrating your skills, you are foocking great dude!!!!

Come for a ride in the Atom anytime!

[jaimemkii]

really nice sound of the Sv-1 but i still prefer my nord electro 3

[Patrick19702210]

Hee Lennart , te gekke toetsenist ben je !!

Wat is jouw mening over de piano geluiden van de Korg sv-1 dus de "klassieke" piano geluiden, zijn die enigzins ok ?

[lennartmusic]

@Patrick19702210:

Hoi Patrick! Dank je! Je kunt de standaard piano ook horen op het andere Youtube clipje dat ik gepost heb over de SV-1.

Het piano geluid is minder direct en agressief dan bijvoorbeeld een Yamaha piano, minder diep laag dan de Kurzweil sound. Maar het is wel heel bruikbaar, een beetje jazz piano achtig. De lage tonen op 'full velocity' klinken heel overtuigend. Ik ben er wel blij mee:)

[keyboardkomuso]

Cut a little high end off the SV-1 and it's pretty damn close! I also like the keybed on the SV-1. Tried the Electro 3, but SV just has more "character" in my opinion.

[tyleryesta1]

I agree, and thats very important in developing your style.

[JUSTLOUNGINSOUNDS]

Apparently, the Roland G8 is better than the SV 1???? Any pointers????

[cocovi]

@JUSTLOUNGINSOUNDS

No way.

Search "Korg SV-1 - Roland Fantom G7 ARX-02 E-PIANO - Clavia NordStage EX DEMO" on Youtube

[astralaws]

of course sv1 has a cleaner sound. he's comparing a brand new electronic instrument with a decades old mechanical one. you can edit many settings and parameters to get it to sound older if you want. pretty sweet!

Woderful Phrase

[lennartmusic]

@CeruttiTroutman:

Thanks!

[ORUPRANKSTAZ]

Please, please please:

Learn how to mic properly (ie, amp mic'ing instead of using a shitty on-camera mic). In fact, you know what would be 1000x better than what you're doing now? Using separate mics for keys and voice. :)

But...

Your playing is excellent (coming from a fellow keyboardist, and jazz at that).

[bemaniac2]

oh please the SV1 was WAY nicer! thank god I bought it! lol

[EffortsatImprov]

The SV1 had a cleaner sound I think and it made them a little different. Having said that, I have an SV1 and I think it is great for my needs.

[alwin27]

Great Demo. Pretty impressive the SV1...
