What's the first song you would play on the Korg SV-2? Looking for more ways to take your piano playing to the next level? Like and subscribe! Thank you!
I would probably try for “Flying Home” off the Kick-Ass soundtrack on either a piano patch or a string patch. Actually, when you got to the strings patches here, I wanted to hear that. Perhaps on a future video, you can throw it in somewhere? ;)
I'd do anything for love - Meat Loaf. I just learned it and already sold my Yamaha P-125 to pre-order the SV-2S 88. Hopefully next week it arrives. So long real world.
I live in Fort Wayne and go to Sweetwater weekly. I get to see this guys in the Showroom playing all the time. They have some of the greatest players on the flooring selling products. I spend have my paycheck there :)
@@sweetwater agree ! makes you want that keyboard right away (but I wish it was packed with the playing skills too^^). Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it acceptable to assume the KingKorg is a fairly good budget alternative for music producing ?
Jacob seems to have the most chill vibe I’ve ever seen in a human. What a great soulful player. I’m gonna buy it from you guys just cause of him! (I’m from NYC so he’s an anomaly) good going!
WOW Sweetwater. I have been watching instrument demos on youtube since 2014 and from a production and show the features of the product in question standpoint you guys just hit this one to MARS!!! keep it up and thanks for all the hard work you put into everything you do.
Jacob Dupre is a very good keyboard player with a deep understanding of musical feelings. The keyboard sounds great too. The horns near the end sound a little pinched off, but that's normal. I wouldn't use a synth for horn parts anyway. Thank you for the tour, Jacob!
I’m new to this channel, and I gotta say that of the two keyboard reviews I’ve seen you present here, I can hardly remember anything about the keyboards themselves! I’m totally blown away by your absolute mastery of playing man! Your feel, harmony, technique and dexterity are monstrous bro! I think you should be on the top of the pyramid of pianists and keyboard starts in the world. Keep making these videos, it is such a pleasure to be in the presence of such talent.
This guy is awesome. Less talking more playing and it's been fun. Maaaan korg really is awesome. Whenever korg makes a sound it is well made. The only issue I had with them was the pianos and Rhodes for years are weak until the Kronos. Back then the SV1 piano should have been in the M3 and other korg synths. That would have saved a bunch of customers.
Remember way back when owned Triton extreme 88. When I saw that tube thought it was a gimmick. No way the amount of harmonic content was unreal. Actually miss that on my Kronos. Have no idea what voltage it runs off but it added so much warmth and harmonics.
This is a disturbingly good board. I am tired of the 'this board does everything' products. I find them too complex, difficult to access the sounds you prefer and 90% of its contents probably never used. Finally, the SV-1 came along 10 years ago and changed the landscape for the better. Now the SV-2 is here and from everything I have seen so far, they have added to what was a very complete unit to begin with by broadening choices. I love the built in speakers as an option. They are loud enough that one could ditch the PA in many occasions, especially as a solo player. What sold me was Korg supply the topline keybed in this model. Normally, that is reserved for only the dearest models, not for specific mid priced units like the SV-2. A welcome change as not everyone wants an arranger or top end model. Well done Korg, 10/10. I ordered mine with the speakers which is an extra $300, money well spent I feel but it is not available yet, only the none speaker models available in Australia as of 24/02/2020. Can't wait to jam along with my favourite blues & jazz artists. Update: The SV2 is here but we are still waiting for the SV2S however, due to the Covid-19, the whore-salers will not commit to a price for the local suppliers blaming the current market & unstable dollar. This is disgraceful as it has a $R.R.P is already set and many stores have taken orders. Today I rang my local store & was informed the SV2S 88 when it lands, may be hundreds of dollars more, possibly over $4000 Aus. As there is SV2 88's in stock, I changed my order to that and will pick it up this weekend, 28/3/20. Since I have bought other 'boards' and associated gear from this shop, they are doing a great price of $2600 for the SV2 88 key. I am looking forward to hooking it up and getting my 70's vibe on. Stay tuned as I will review the Korg SV2 when I have had it for a week or so.
Yeah. The short supply of the 88S was a bit off putting. I shopped around everywhere. Luckily AMS is getting some in stock on Saturday. Hopefully I can get it soon, so I can spend time playing it as opposed to watching videos on it
Agreed, this board has an expressiveness to it that I don't hear as much of in other offering at this price range. I've seen others say it sounds muddy or dark but I'm just not getting that from the demos I have heard so far. It's smooth and balanced to my ear. Very dynamic and deep, like a well built instrument in a room with great mics capturing it. The Nord and Roland offering sound processed and compressed when compared side by side to this. Very upper mid forward which is not bad overall but its more like someone else's idea of an idealized ep/piano sound. It's almost like comparing a DI instrument to a Mic'd instrument sound. I could take the Korg and EQ/Compress/saturate and distort it ending up in a place that is unique for me. While other boards as of late have already done those things for me. The immediacy of Nord,Yamaha,Roland is great and if what you need is greatest hits no hassle good sounds then look no further. However, I feel like the SV2 might be the better choice for those looking to carve their own sounds, you know, slap your own outboard gear on this thing and see where you end up type thing.layering with other instruments/sounds. It's dead simple to operate too which is a plus in my book.
@@metalplatedfacejob it sounds dark compared to the SV-1. The SV-1 has more bite and presence and is in my opinion a superior sound (your opinion may be different though). But yeah the authenticity of both the SV-1 and 2 is amazing
I like the feel of this keyboard. I tried it at Guitar Center. It had nice personality. Drawbacks. 1) The knobs felt cheap. You sometimes had to spin them around several times to see the light indicator change. 2) the cabinet looks made cheap and like it won't stand up to heavy wear and tear / gigs / traveling IMO. 3) i found the string sounds pretty cheap.
Yeah man, I got 'very warm thoughts' about this KORG! I can see and hear your dedication to most of the sounds and the expression...what a beauty! The white version with the two speakers is not only a museum piece, it's just simply all about 'sound and feel' and this brand always manages to gives 'even more' than that! Thanks!
Having gigged lots on an SV-1 for about 5 years, I would recommend saving a suitcase full of cash, and buy a second-hand/bargain basement SV-1, instead of a new SV-2. Apart from the strings, the sounds have not improved much, if at all. All you are getting in V2 is more preset locations, and given the immediacy of the tweak system, how many presets do you need? I performed very complex performances, mostly using only 5 of the "Favourites", and only sometimes making extra adjustments to them before playing. The SV-1 has a great keyboard, intelligent immediacy, and reliability. To play well, a musician first off needs familiarity with his instrument, and the comfortable knowledge that it will sound and feel the same as yesterday. Then you can perform your best. To reverse the old adage , it sounds like the SV-2 has given us "More Is Less". Don’t think tech. Think music.
@Spud Chuffington jones interesting comment, especially as the sv2 sound engine is very different. If you play one, that's when you will find out for yourself
Heres a good thread..gettina used -1 will suffice to save due to not much change to the -2? RESEARCH!lolthe tech on the "engines" will tell you this and gettina second hand -1 makes perfect sense to alot of players i bet and for sure up cloe and personal comparison should be a whole nother vid , maybe with jacob, maybe not.....: )
Excellent demo showing the basic nuances of the acoustic piano section. Acoustic pianos are the most difficult to recreate on a digital keyboard. Thank You. 👍🏽👍🏼
Seems to be a great improvement from SV-1, but i still don’t see a demo showing that the all the previous downsides have been enhanced. Can you play chorus and phaser at the same time? Can you custom the layers when using two of them or just the ones by default? It is possible to download other voices? How powerful is the software? How much can you tweak the patches from software? And so on, if you can add more please be my guest.
We've got a Halo player xD You seem to me more of a pianist than a keyboardist, if that makes sense. Did you ever lament having only 73 keys here? I'm planning to buy, but I've been agonizing over 73 vs 88. 73 seems like a very nice compromise and fits across the back seat. Then again, 88 is the real deal.
how would you compare this piano to the Crumar Seventeen that is a little smaller? pros and cons when setting these two up to each other? anyone got some advice what to consider between buying one over the other? thanks!
This is impressive. I think that's the 73 model we see. There is also an 88 model, but 73 seems appropriate for this instrument, plus it's cheaper and easier to transport. It looks like it should have a curved lid, but I see no mention of one. I know there is a music rest. I wonder how robust it is. Does that front bar bend into the keys?
@Luigi veo que Thomann de Alemania ya ha dejado vender el SV2-73, y el SV2S-73 que tiene altavoces. Solo queda el SV2S-88. Es mucho dinero y mucho peso. Supongo se puede comprar el SV2-73 y SV2S-73 en otros lugares.
I'm usually not that interested in these stage keyboard but this demo and the quality of sound/effects on the SV-2 has me feeling hot and bothered!!! Price is pretty tasty too! The keybed looks like it allows for lots of expressiveness. Jeez.
Preach! I've been checking their site periodically for years hoping for an update after the over hyped sound pack 2. Darn, just when I was excited about the SV-2 you go and remind me of one of my biggest frustrations with the SV-1 & Korg's lack of response. Please, stop popping my emotional bubble and bringing me back to reality!
I had been talking to Sweet water about 8 months ago looking for a stage piano. Couldn’t make up my mind, but liked the Yamaha CP88. I put everything on hold for a bit and I’m glad I did - this Korg may be IT! Any thoughts comparing this to the CP88? The interface of the Korg looks like something I would really like.
Hey, Jason! That is the one and only Jacob Dupre, Sweetwater keyboard artist extraordinaire. You can check him out on many of our videos here. Thanks for the interest!

That is absolutely amazing! Awesome demo! Though I have 2 questions. Can you use the rotary sound effect on sounds other than the organs and can you split sounds and choose the split point?
you should be able to use any of the internal amps with any setting. They are selected separately, so you could use rotary on a piano, or wah on an organ etc.
Hello! I dont have experince on stage pianos. Pls can you let me know wich one is better, new one Korg SV2 or Korg Grandstage? Also do they have sounds like bells, harpsichord, glockenspiel, marima, kalimba, vibrafon, ksylofon, harp etc.? Thanks
Hello! There is quite a bit of overlap between Korg's GrandStage and the new SV2, to be honest with you. They share a lot of the same sounds, and the 88 key models have the same RH3 weighted key action. The Grandstage is a deeper instrument with more sounds, which is why it costs a bit more money. Full details of the SV2 aren't quite out yet since it's so new, but here is the full patch list for the GrandStage: cdn.korg.com/us/support/download/files/852e7f49c67521acf3cb66689c7e20cf.pdf?response-content-disposition=inline%3Bfilename%3DGrandstage_SNL_EFGSJ1.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf%3B If you'd like to go into more detail, please call my number below.

@@erhanshukri just simply do you research,decide on your budget,think on what you like to play and when/where the most and all that will give you your answer. From a long time piano players opinion, 88 keys are not needed,73 is the 'sweet spot don;t buy a board that has sounds you will never use,the same way buying a board you have to add sounds too[ research!lol}
was listening to all different stage/digital pianos lately and today i listend to some demos of the sv2 , wow korg went to Nord level piano Sampling... different variants also. not like Roland, Kawai, Casio that more or less just put a main piano sample with different treatment to it.
I appreciate your appreciation of this wonderful instrument. However, I've had the SV-1 for a few years and love it, but I've always had problems getting it to communicate with my DAW, and I wonder if the SV-2 has addressed this? Great sounds, though. You play nice :)
@@lokologico I couldn't get it to work with Win7, and Win10 did have a problem, too, but they've got a fix for it on the Korg website, if anyone needs to know. Have you tried the SV-2? I'm looking forward to it. Thanks.
Geoff Burton I see, I’ve been using it with windows 10 no problem. Must be your computer. I will play with the SV2 when my local music shop has it on display. Time will tell if I upgrade or not.
I also experience problems like getting disconnected from midi usb, or a slow response.. I think it’s a power related issue with the USB port itself, or the usb cable, not the piano itself
Hi, Montana. There are no recording features on the keyboard itself but you can record it to your computer or a standalone recorder. Feel free to reach out with any other questions. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
With the "other" sounds, when you said "very last one", isn't there the ability to depress the rotary to access the second, "green" bank of sounds? So I think there's 12 "other" sounds, not 6. Could be wrong...
Hey, Heather. Thanks for reaching out! The Korg SV-2 is a great stage piano with a ton of possibilities. The manual of the unit actually goes into detail on how an expression pedal can be automatically assigned to adjust the rotary speed, and more! Hopefully this helps, but let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks and have a great day! Jack Wellington, Sweetwater Sale Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3240, jack_wellington@sweetwater.com
Double the amount of sounds, 6 times the memory (which allows for larger and more realistic piano samples), optional speakers built-in, 64 favourite slots instead of 8, the ability to juxtapose 2 or 3 patches and the EQ knobs serve as mixers while doing that. Some other stuff

Outstanding demonstration. Pour me a glass of something smooth and I could just sit and listen for hours. Thanx.

You had me at SV-2! THANK YOU FOR SUCH A THOROUGH DEMO!
😎👍
this must be the best Korg stage piano out there, kicks the ass out of everything else Korg ive heard....
Dude! Finally! I've been waiting for the SV-2! I also play "Pure Imagination" all the time.
The Lick @ 27:20! Great playing on a great sounding board. Well done Korg and Sweetwater.
Clever reharmonization of Hey Jude @ 22:22 !!
Just bought the SV2 88S it sounds fantastic, man its heavy.
Jacob's demos are fantastic. Love watching him play!
I am sold - excellent playing, eloquent delivery, and demo! The SV-2 will be my upcoming purchase.
Love the acoustic piano sounds -- beats many software pianos in my opinion!!!
i actually can't afford most of these instruments but i just enjoy watching them all been played so effortlessly.
Amazing playing !! Wow i feel like I I was watching a movie for the “other sounds” great demo and absolutely amazing musicianship

Darn, just when I was excited about the SV-2 you go and remind me of one of my biggest frustrations with the SV-1 & Korg's lack of response. Please, stop popping my emotional bubble and bringing me back to reality!
banjo pariah Once I updated to Catalina everything went south. I just don’t get it! SV2 doesn’t thrill me.
banjo pariah Just buy a Nord Stage 3, voila, problem solved ;-)
Terms and Disagreement not really
SV2 has plenty of sounds already via the app.
ready to start a band with this man asap. masterful playing, my friend
I had been talking to Sweet water about 8 months ago looking for a stage piano. Couldn’t make up my mind, but liked the Yamaha CP88. I put everything on hold for a bit and I’m glad I did - this Korg may be IT! Any thoughts comparing this to the CP88? The interface of the Korg looks like something I would really like.
Buy the Korg, you will love it. If you go Yamaha, buy the MODX, you will love the pianos
Mike Rutigliano I did buy the Korg....and I do love it 😊
songbird857 Great Decision! I had a Montage 8 and traded it away for a Nord Stage 3 had to pay an extra bit though but it’s hella dope
I hope they launch a black one with black speakers soon.
Great review! Great playing!
Who is this dude? I can listen to him all day!

I'm Sold! However I just went to place my order but they are outta stock...using my sweetwater card for this must have board!
Absolutely superb demo 👏
Excellent demo. 😊❤
That is absolutely amazing! Awesome demo! Though I have 2 questions. Can you use the rotary sound effect on sounds other than the organs and can you split sounds and choose the split point?
you should be able to use any of the internal amps with any setting. They are selected separately, so you could use rotary on a piano, or wah on an organ etc.
explained really well ❤❤
need this korg 😊
Hello! I dont have experince on stage pianos. Pls can you let me know wich one is better, new one Korg SV2 or Korg Grandstage? Also do they have sounds like bells, harpsichord, glockenspiel, marima, kalimba, vibrafon, ksylofon, harp etc.? Thanks
Also I would like to know are the keys close to piano keys?
Hello! There is quite a bit of overlap between Korg's GrandStage and the new SV2, to be honest with you. They share a lot of the same sounds, and the 88 key models have the same RH3 weighted key action. The Grandstage is a deeper instrument with more sounds, which is why it costs a bit more money.
Full details of the SV2 aren't quite out yet since it's so new, but here is the full patch list for the GrandStage: cdn.korg.com/us/support/download/files/852e7f49c67521acf3cb66689c7e20cf.pdf?response-content-disposition=inline%3Bfilename%3DGrandstage_SNL_EFGSJ1.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf%3B

@@erhanshukri just simply do you research,decide on your budget,think on what you like to play and when/where the most and all that will give you your answer. From a long time piano players opinion, 88 keys are not needed,73 is the 'sweet spot don;t buy a board that has sounds you will never use,the same way buying a board you have to add sounds too[ research!lol}
was listening to all different stage/digital pianos lately and today i listend to some demos of the sv2 , wow korg went to Nord level piano Sampling... different variants also. not like Roland, Kawai, Casio that more or less just put a main piano sample with different treatment to it.
amazing playing!!!
I appreciate your appreciation of this wonderful instrument. However, I've had the SV-1 for a few years and love it, but I've always had problems getting it to communicate with my DAW, and I wonder if the SV-2 has addressed this? Great sounds, though. You play nice :)
I have an sv1 and I've never had any daw issues
I’ve had an sv1 for years and never any issues with my DAW. What kind of issues are you referring to?
@@lokologico I couldn't get it to work with Win7, and Win10 did have a problem, too, but they've got a fix for it on the Korg website, if anyone needs to know.
Have you tried the SV-2? I'm looking forward to it. Thanks.
Geoff Burton I see, I’ve been using it with windows 10 no problem. Must be your computer. I will play with the SV2 when my local music shop has it on display. Time will tell if I upgrade or not.
I also experience problems like getting disconnected from midi usb, or a slow response.. I think it’s a power related issue with the USB port itself, or the usb cable, not the piano itself
I need this in my life!
Wow!! Nice demo and wonderful piano... I'm so Happy to Say that "italian's Do It Better...", Really really good job!!
Beautiful! Thank you for showing. Question: Can you also record all those piano effects just like how you hear it in this video?
Hi, Montana. There are no recording features on the keyboard itself but you can record it to your computer or a standalone recorder.
Feel free to reach out with any other questions. Thanks!

11:55 Ive seen a live hiatus kaiyote video where they dialed that exact sound into an sv-2
This guy is talented
You''re a great player
The one thing missing in an SV keyboard is a pitch/modulation.
How do the sounds compare to the Grandstage (Korg)?
still using the decade+ old action that the SV1 used?
great playing and great demo. Wondering how you have the rig connected to an amp? I see three wires out the back. Thanks
Hello, can you tell me what is the song at 19.30 ?? THANK YOU
With the "other" sounds, when you said "very last one", isn't there the ability to depress the rotary to access the second, "green" bank of sounds? So I think there's 12 "other" sounds, not 6. Could be wrong...
It's beautiful
Great job 👏 !!!!
More Jacob Dupre, please?
Hey Jacob! Can you record a full version of Pure Imagination? I want to listen and transcribe it because you are insane my friend.
Woody Goss did a cover of it on a Rhodes I believe. You can find it on youtube
The quintessential instrument for Hearts of Space and the return of Enya.
Is it possible to change the organ rotary speed with an expression pedal? That would be amazing.
Hey, Heather. Thanks for reaching out! The Korg SV-2 is a great stage piano with a ton of possibilities. The manual of the unit actually goes into detail on how an expression pedal can be automatically assigned to adjust the rotary speed, and more! Hopefully this helps, but let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks and have a great day!

What are the differences between this and the original one?
@@dmajorx
I would like to have seen the addition of idiophone sounds like vibraphone and marimba.
Double the amount of sounds, 6 times the memory (which allows for larger and more realistic piano samples), optional speakers built-in, 64 favourite slots instead of 8, the ability to juxtapose 2 or 3 patches and the EQ knobs serve as mixers while doing that. Some other stuff
¿ vibraphone and marimba seem to be available thanks to the app in which we can load lots of other sounds.
Jacob, can you run external instruments through the FX?
I think I want one of these.
Sound so good but i Must have it in my Dream 😎
wow impressive !
Are these the same sounds in the Kronos?
Great job
I like that instrument 30:40
el mejor sonido d cuerdas q he escuchado la realidad pura d un violonchelo
