Incredibly beautiful and futuristic design. And the controls and sounds make it almost like a piano/workstation hybrid. I'd definitely consider buying this!
@@generalgrafx You say the Starship thing like it's a bad thing... Also I agree it's not practical, it's more of a statement piece, it's not for everyone. Grand pianos and organs aren't terribly practical either ;)
Shooot! That's a beautiful piano. Damn it! Every time I said I will stop browsing for pianos. I've settled with my Nord Piano 5. Now this Korg beauty! arrrgghh. Stop wanting things!
This is the most beautiful keys I've ever seen... Good job Korg, hopefully you gonna bring us more news on NAMM24 such as a new workstation or a stage keyboard
Why would you need a big color display on a performance oriented instrument? You’re not going to do sound design or sequencing on it which would require a bigger screen.
@@MacXpert74I disagree: looking at this demo, he has to configure a lot of things via the screen, so, yes it seems that the screen is important. There is a close-up at 3:57, of course the screen does the job but the resolution of the screen looks weak and outdated.
Looks and sounds great! But it kinda looks like a modernized SV-2. I personally don't want screens on my instruments... So I'll stick with my SV-2, which I adore ❤. For anybody looking for a good digital piano, I do love the RH3 keybed.
Hopefully 73 keys version will be released in the future. I find 73 keys to be the perfect size for gigging. The new X piano sound with the option to change micro positioning like with VST piano seems quite new and interesting
What I wish would become the norm is great action in octaves that can be reliably tightly attached to each other. Great action is heavy, but why should we have to carry 8 octaves at once, give my a main board with the buttons knobs and sliders, say, 4 or 5 octaves, then go\I’ve me keyboard modules in octaves to then add on, making the carrying weight actually manageable. The best transportable weighted keyboards are a pain as of now.
Incredible sounds. This is really amazing 🤩. I need to get one of these. My current piano is very good, a Roland RD 2000, but the more, the better. I hope I like the keybed and mechanism. 🎉❤❤❤
If it has the same 88 key weight action design as the Kronos be prepared for frequent broken keys, and broken sub chassis if you are a Gospel or rock player with a heavy touch. I was a Korg service center for 38 years.
I have the previous grand stage. It has great weighted keys and a few nice features. Great electric pianos and synthesis too. I personally didn't want a big flashy screen, as I wanted something more focused on the playing vs sounds design. Things that I don't like? It had memory to load banks but no banks were released, no aftertouch, no midi out for many of the controls -making it very limited with other devices, and the stand is solid but looks very odd. No loopback audio or USB midi either... I hope that they fixed some of this on this one!
@@ThomasMilonas Cool, the Roland Keybed is my go-to for live gigs and most recording; I’ve been using the RD line for 20+ years. The CP-88 has never quite done it for me, for some reason. I recently got a Kawai VPC1, and am still playing around with it. Haven’t quite found the right balance to achieve the closest-to-authenticity I’m seeking.
It is said the instruments are made in Japan... They were designed there, no doubt. Your local importer will tell you they come from Indonesia or China, regardless where the Korg headquarter being in Tokyo.
A wonderful stage piano, it has only one fault, it has a lot of weight 25 kg. But that's a price for quality. A compact version would also be useful.
Hallo Luciano, wonderful and greatly made video about this new wonderful Korg digital piano. Obviously its target is toward high pro musicians!! Korg engineers has made a masterpiece of style with a futuristic line of chassis. The samples are really impressive and of high quality, expecially grand piano ones. But the price, at moment, is forbideen. Imaging you could be italian origins, I send you a great hallo from Italy! 👏🇮🇹😉
show me the action with FAST repetition on single notes. That's what will get my next $$$ for a stage/workstation piano. I need LITERALLY the action of a grand piano on stage...without the weight of course!
Quite agree. All these years and nobody has produced a keybed that feels or behaves remotely like a piano (and I have that Kawai MP11 thing) - they all feel like wading through rubber to me.
@@davidseymour6246 WELL SAID! Yes...that's EXACTLY it! Too heavy, too slow, too rubbery. Like being stuck in quicksand...and yes I have the MP11 as well. It's the closest I've found. I also have an Rd2000...that thing's a total joke as far as action goes.
@@thegood9 The funny thing is...in my opinion what we need is the action of an upright piano rather than trying to copy a grand (something like a Yamaha U1 would be perfect I'd say). The grand action has advantages when you are actually dealing with hammers hitting strings, but if you just want a controller for electronic use you want a nice agile and light action that still has the feel and subtlety of an acoustic piano. I am lucky enough to teach every day on a modern Steinway Model B grand, but for writing and improvising I almost prefer the feel of a good Yamaha upright. Maybe it's just me but there is something almost more inspiring in playing a 'more straightforward' action. The grand action has to deal with lifting the hammers up against gravity (unlike the upright of course), but there's no reason to build that disadvantage into a keyboard that doesn't even need hammers.
@@davidseymour6246 you may be onto something there---but, I've NEVER found an upright that could do repetition to match a grand, sad to say. I think they just don't have the mechanism for it. That's not to say that a really well built "hybrid" controller couldn't be manufactured to do it, however.
Why is the back so huge?! lol I thought maybe it had real hammers in there like in the old Kawai MP 9000 piano. That would've been cool. I'm not really sure why you'd want all that bulk back there otherwise.
Shame it still has the RH3 action, and looks quite bulky for gigging. A 73 key version would be a nice option. Wooden legs are very nice though, and I guess you could put a second keyboard on that shelf!
It looks like Sony Playstation 5 with keys)))) Well, to be serious, how old is the SXG-2 engine? Stop feeding us the same "food" only with a different sauce. Pianos sound a little better, but is clear why. But what’s really sad about is the electro-mechanical sounds, this is no good for 2024. In VOX Continental Rhodes and Wurlitzer sounds better, despite the simple sound architecture. Well, You guys know better!!!
It looks and sounds very nice, but for the size of it you'd think they would have at least added the kawai action that the Nord Grand has or similar...
Nice! Looks like similar metal panel bending technique like the one on the Nautilus 61- and 73-key versions. Certainly looks desirable. I wonder what it looks and feels like when actually playing it. Time will tell, when they'll arrive in music stores. So far so good. At $2,999 the price is competitive to the other market offerings.
It looks futuristic, maybe the Tesla of pianos basically, Korg from Japan 🗾 made it possible I think, maybe much sooner than Roland or Yamaha. Awesome 💯
Que trambolho pra carregar, grande e pesado kkk Com esse capô de fusca branco moderno. Só as igrejas pra comprar um teclado desse, não dá pra ficar carregando. Eu achava que os stages teriam essa qualidade, fácil de transportar como o RD 88 e o CK88.
So this is the Grandstage SV2, then. Looks gorgeous, but my worry is it's another preset machine, like the Grandstage, which had almost no sound design capability, just a lot of (very nice-sounding) presets. The effects here seem taken from the SV2 but there doesn't seem to be master effects like flangers, distortion etc., just reverbs and delays (can you at least use BOTH reverb and delay, unlike on the SV2 and Grandstage?) Think I'll be sticking with my lovely YC-88.
Surprisingly affordable. And gorgeous design. If there is one complaint I have, I seriously hope you did not go with the 12$ oled monochrome display you use in all your Modwave/wavestate series, because those are prone to bugging out after a year or so of constant use, they're flawed. And if you did, this is gonna bite later on, just a heads up.
Sounds and looks great. I really dig what he plays during the intro. What style of playing is that classed as? Sounds jazzy but kinda modern at the same time. Cool.
Greetings from the staff of the lovely KORG company. We, the audience of KORG Pa700 model, request you to release the software update of this model and increase the amount of RAM sample to 60% like KORG Pa1000. We are waiting impatiently
Looks gorgeous and sounds great. Some weird hardware choices though. No USB C and DIN style MIDI ports make this something circa 2005. Also, why such a small screen. Screens are dirt cheap and I’m sure this is a premium priced product. On the more positive side, I think the inclusion of the nu-tube could be a game changer for vintage sounds and the optional legs look perfect. I can see this replacing the venerable Nord as the stage piano of choice.

One thing special for you Korg No one can stand against you. Its reality
The XLR out is a great addition. Which more boards did this. I am not a fan of those cheap sliders on the panel. I would expect that on a cheap keyboard. Really surprised Korg went with that design on this.
introducing "the playstation five" by Korg... but I like the unison slider, and the pop-out analog tone button is hilarious/epic
Look at Yamaha's new CP88 (new-ish, i guess). It has "game controller" colors and styling to appeal more to millennials I suppose, as well.
Incredibly beautiful and futuristic design. And the controls and sounds make it almost like a piano/workstation hybrid. I'd definitely consider buying this!
I think it looks like the console of Starship Enterprise, rather bulky and not very practical.
@@generalgrafxDo you have any comment on the Nord Grand??
@@generalgrafx You say the Starship thing like it's a bad thing... Also I agree it's not practical, it's more of a statement piece, it's not for everyone. Grand pianos and organs aren't terribly practical either ;)
I like it even more by not having an ipad like display.
The display looks like it’s from 2005….
Korg always make such lovely-looking instruments.
that visual design is killer, sounds are great too, great playing as well
Shooot! That's a beautiful piano. Damn it! Every time I said I will stop browsing for pianos. I've settled with my Nord Piano 5. Now this Korg beauty! arrrgghh. Stop wanting things!

Can they not make the display screen larger in size and NOT a monochrome? It's the year 2024 and yet no upgrades for LCD of stage pianos.
It seems musicians LOVE 80s era screens😂😂😂

It looks like a spaceship, that's so cool!
Finally a front panel that faces the player!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Best piano demo on the most slick designed and best sounding piano I've ever seen 💯🙏🏼🦴✌🏼 I'm very gravitated to that Intro drum groove ☝🏼🤌🏼
Korg always had the best sounding Amp section on its boards.
What I hope this is signaling is that there's going to be a a new Kronos. I that couldn't make me more happier!!!
That GSX Solo Piano sounds phenomenal. Am I the only one thinking that sounds like a CFX?
Yeah it does kind of have that sound reminiscent of a Yamaha concert Grand
Hab ich auch gedacht!
I think that the GSX Piano sounds like a lot of piano in recordings… Beautiful
I'm getting the PS5 vibes with the design. I love it though.
PS6 with midi adaptor. Lol
It’s like the PS5, but good looking
That piano sounded real. I think its the best synthesizer I have ever heard.
That things looks really nice ❤ Weighted key too, plus a great design,,, ahhhh,, so nice
Looks and sounds awesome.

Nice!!! Different color ones would be dope like maybe a red one, gray or black!!!! The demos sound very very good!!!
Looks beautiful.
Luc you are a gangster on the keys.

That piano performance reminds me of the demo tracks contained in some of the keyboards like Nautilus and Kross2.
It sounds so different from all those other pianos
same rhodes as in the sv-1, same with some of the pianos. 14 year old technology
First to Comment here 🙌🏻 KORG never fails us always 🖤 New sounds , New features and Compact builds 🎹
Amazing looking keyboard
MUCH way better than that "nord", SO FAR! Korg is really stunning!!!
Good work KORG. Very nice design!
RH3 is not the best keybed in my opinion but THIS is a great instrument for mobile pianists, it looks premium
What is the best keybed for authentic piano touch iyo?
@@Sbart75 In my opinion the CP-88 keybed and the PHA-50 from ROLAND
