Korg Stage Vintage SV-1 User Manual page 19

Ease of use, pleasure to play
• Selecting sounds is as easy as using a knob to select the base sound, and one for a
variation of the base sound. And editing sounds (in realtime!) is just a matter of
turning a couple of knobs.
• The high-quality, realistic Korg RH3 keyboard features four zones with different
weights. This gives you the same realism and feeling as a grand piano keyboard.
You can choose from eight different touch curves to adjust how the sound will
respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.
• Eight alternative tuning curves allows for precise tuning of vintage instruments
and grand piano alike.
• The transpose function lets you change the pitch of the instrument, and the master
tune function allows you to make fine tune adjustments.
The same pedals of a grand piano, and more
• The SV-1 provides connections for the same three pedals as a grand piano. Also,
you can use the pedals to control volume, rotary slow/fast change, or the wah
effect. Pedals are automatically assigned to controlling the right effect without any
additional programming.
• The damper pedal simulates the natural string resonance and noises of an acoustic
piano; it also lets you vary the amount of the effect by how far you press down on it
("half-pedal" function).
Valve Reactor and modeling technologies
• The SV-1 features Valve Reactor technology that uses an actual valve to create the
sound of an authentic tube power amp, delivering the response and tone of classic
amps.
• The SV-1 uses sophisticated modeling technology to create classic amp, cabinet,
and effect sounds. By mixing them, you can create an amazing range of sounds,
many of which have never been heard before.
High-quality vintage effects
• Since high-quality effects are built in, the SV-1 is all you need to create a com-
pletely finished sound. You can choose one type for each pedal, amp model, modu-
lation and reverb/echo/delay effect, and use these sections simultaneously.
• The SV-1 provides control switches that let you do things like set the delay time via
TAP TEMPO, switch effects on/off, or switch the speed of a rotary speaker... again,
must-have features for live performance.
