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

A direct comparison between the Korg SV-1 and the Rhodes Mark 2. The sound is recorded with a room mic. BTW who's that professor they're talkin' 'bout?

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:

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!

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:)

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!

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

Thanks

@tyleryesta1 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.

NOT COMPARABLE

[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?
