Heir to the Stage Vintage Series, Designed for the Stage
Born from KORG's Stage Vintage DNA, the SV-2 88 takes the "ready to play" philosophy further. Vastly expanded sample memory, refined sound selection, and immediate front panel control: everything is designed to seamlessly switch between acoustic pianos, electric pianos, and vintage keyboards. The model presented is without built-in speakers (for onboard amplification, see the SV-2S variant).Keyboard Design
Real Weighted Hammer Action 3 (RH3) 88 keys with progressive weighted touch for a feel close to a grand piano. The velocity sensitivity is adjustable via 8 curves to optimize dynamics according to the repertoire, from intimate jazz to energetic rock. A robust and balanced base ensures precision, fast repetition, and control from pianissimo to fortissimo.Sound Quality
The SV-2 88 relies on the EDS-X synthesis and carefully crafted sampling with RX layers (adjustable mechanical and release noises) to reproduce acoustic pianos, electric pianos, organs, and legendary keyboards. With 72 sounds and 128-note polyphony, it easily handles thick layers and sustained notes. The instrument has no built-in amplification; it connects directly to a PA system, monitor speakers, or headphones.Built-in Effects
- 6 dedicated effect blocks to shape the tone (modulation, delay, reverb, amp/drive simulator, compressor, etc.).
- EQ on the front panel for quick shaping of bass, midrange, and treble.
