Synth/string sounds feel like an afterthought
emulations do not sound authentic
The keys in the high register are heavier and in the high register less
Korg is left behind
monstrously difficult instrument to sample
inability to control the relative volume of the string layer
There are no controls on the front panel for centre frequency
There are no displays or menu systems
'barking' sound is notoriously difficult to synthesize
not a pro piano player
The sounds of violins are useless in my opinion
no menus and sub-menus
Keyboard feels situation s tame
the tube tends to run less hot
lack of any physical drawbars
or even a mod wheel
lack of focus on synthesizer sounds
the piano sounds were lacking in terms of sustain time and definition
lack of mobile app support
It is disappointing
pedals that allow for a higher level of connectivity
The piano does not allow for multi-tasking
A pro piano will be incomplete without good connections
The effects can only be used one at a time
the Korg SV1 is discontinued
SV-2 does not come with built-in speakers
The keyboard feels a little bit inaccurate if
the key depth is a little bit shallower
It tends to have a little bit more resistance when you play the keys
poor quality synth sounds
best friend of people who love to play classical music
