The KORG SV-2 Stage Vintage represents a decade of refinement in stage piano design, building upon the wild acclaim of its predecessors with significantly enhanced capabilities. This latest addition to the Stage Vintage series offers more sounds, memory, polyphony, presets, and control options than ever before. Available in both 88-key and 73-key configurations, the SV-2 maintains the intuitive live panel, premier keybed, and distinctively smooth aesthetic that has inspired musicians globally. The SV-2S models feature an internal K-ARRAY speaker system for added versatility.
With over ten times the sample data of previous SV models, the SV-2 houses 72 compelling sounds and provides 64 memory locations for storing edited favourites. The SV-2 Editor software allows users to create custom split and layered programs, with each favourite capable of accessing up to three timbres simultaneously. The instrument’s 128-voice polyphony supports complex layering and sustained chording, while split points can be adjusted directly from the front panel for live performance flexibility.
Audio sampling techniques reach their pinnacle in the SV-2, capturing classic electro-mechanical, transistorised, tape-driven, analogue, and digital keyboard instruments with stunning realism. The RX Layer preserves authentic artefacts like tine slap, hammer release, and contact clicks, allowing precise control over these sonic details. Full dynamic range sampling recreates every nuance from pianississimo to fortississimo touches, creating a three-dimensional presence that sits perfectly in any mix or performance space.
At its core, the SV-2 remains a stage piano featuring outstanding grand piano sounds from leading German, Italian, Austrian, and Japanese instrument makers. The collection includes authentic upright pianos, honky-tonk piano, genuine “tack” piano, and two gorgeous harpsichords – one French and one Italian. These exceptional piano sounds provide a strong foundation while offering extensive performance options through layering and splitting capabilities.
