Very well done! This is a tremendous help as the points covered what I needed to know. Extra plus for a direct review without fluff. Thank you, I an subscribing.

[@Zoco101]

I think the SV2-73 is a good buy. It's the only professional stage piano with 73 keys and a graded weighted action. While the S (speaker) version is convenient, it is hard to source and considerably more expensive, particularly in the 73 key format. But with only 73 keys (not 88) you save money and weight and you don't need a bigger car. I understand that the SV pianos are not so good for switching voices and getting consistent volumes, but all the portable (non stage) pianos are the same in these respects, even the RD88, which is supposed to be a stage piano. I think I could put up with those things on a highly portable instrument with great sounds, a great action and handy controls. And I think the SV2-88 should be a go-to instrument for sound companies that supply everything on stage. I have seen pianists struggle desperately to control the supplied Roland RD-2000 or Nord Grand/Stage piano when it's their first time with the exact instrument. Valuable performance time is lost as the engineer runs back and forth pushing buttons for the pianist. Supposedly, the CP-88 is quicker to learn than those, but honestly, seconds count on stage, so menu systems suck first time round.

[@New_Zealand_Music]

I love to see it when you play. So peaceful :)

[@dougjackmusic]

I really appreciate your methodical, unhurried explanations. Easy to understand, even with the accent. Wonderful melodic playing. Makes me appreciate my own SV1 again.

Does this digital piano have a "damper/sustain" feature to simulate the pedal in order to adjust the sustain resonance level to your liking so that you can avoid installing the external pedal?

When you like this one maybe also check the Crumar Seven as I did. It uses different types of physical modeling.

[@mtomaszewski_]

Loved this review Jeremy! Very thorough and honest. I am currently considering buying SV2 but on the other hand Electro 6hp is also very tempting. Of course very different instruments. Have you had opportunity to compare those two? What is your opinion?

[@antoniocricchio4814]

I'm having the exact same 'problem' rn. what did you choose? any thoughts?

How do you compare this to Yamaha cp88? In unable to test either but both interest me greatly as an option for home use.

[@RicardoJMarins]

Congratulations. Your video is excellent. You could make a video about the Korg Grandstage. What do you think about? (Ricardo - Brazil)

[@jeffmejia111]

Just a comment, Personally I got the SV1 for the sound closeness to the Fender Rhodes and Wurly. If you have a rig then most likely you'll have a keyboard for the piano sounds, strings, etc. But if you're only going to get one keyboard and you're going to use the piano sound to give solo recitals on Chopin and Beethoven then I'd look elsewhere. They put SV for a reason SV=Stage Vintage...it's supposed to sound retro.

[@YuanJane]

Hi Jeremy, just wonder if the key bed of SV2 actually feels the same as D1? It looks like they use the same action but may have different settings?

[@LuisFlores-xr5bu]

[@ChristofRoeyaert]

Wish they'd given you the SV2S 88, would love to know what the built-in speakers sound like...

[@rkoby42]

Looks really wobbly on that stand. Is there a more stable setup?

[@luciano.armani]

Hey man, love your channel and vibe! i wonder how you compare the keybed of the sv2 with the fp30. i have the fp30 now and happy with the keybed but want to upgrade the sounds. would you recommend the update?

[@BlindfoldedFox]

Hey, I’m in the same boat, wt did you decided ?

[@tientienyao]

Tried the Korg SV2S 88 yesterday at City Music and the overall experience is good. Unfortunately, Jeremy doesn’t have the SV2S to try out the speakers. Speakers sound great but 2x15W is not loud enough. Just enough for personal use. The worst deal breaker for me is the vibrating noise from something touching the chassis when playing the middle F note (using piano) at full speaker volume!!! And apparently, someone from Korg forum has the same issue so this isn’t an isolated glitch. Totally unacceptable for a stage piano at this price!

[@zarah9397]

mine is the middle E hahahaha😅

[@linuss6867]

Thank you so much for this informative video!! One question: what do you mean by "missing usb audio interface"? It's possible to connect the sv2 via USB to the computer and input the MIDI Signal in my DAW, right?

[@officialWWM]

Linus S I don't think so.

[@Aschwald91]

Hey Nice review ! Thanks ! Do you have some News of the Roland rd88 which should be out next month ?

That's an interesting board. Hopefully Roland lets me have access.

[@songbird857]

You can’t layer on the fly? How would you compare this to the Yamaha CP88?

[@jazzsecrets]

I was eager to get one of those just for the good looks but thanks to your review I can save some money :))

[@ericajohnson7535]

orchestral sounds are very organic and expressive.

[@papadopp3870]

And horns. I thought there was a lot to be said for the horns. I think the keyboard feel is also a big part of horn section playing on the unit. It has so much soul. In fact, the RH3 on my SV2 is the best feel I’ve ever had on any electric keyboard. The SV2 is an E. Piano beast… I feel connected again, like a freshly adjusted Wurlitzer! Not necessarily as superior for Ac. Pianos as for EPs but pretty danged expressive.

[@Jehudi]

Can you change the master pitch and save it?

[@lanecollins8080]

How do the internal speakers sound? Competes with the Rolands and Yamahas?

[@craigpreston3713]

Hi guys. How does one actually set a layered sound, for example a piano and an electric piano together please?

[@DjRafiV]

Great review. Did you find that the knobs are more wobbly than the SV1? I just read someone complaining about this on a user group. What are your thoughts on the knobs on the SV2

[@JeremySee]

The knobs felt fine to me. I love it.

[@laxer1207]

I just got an SV2 but the sustain function doesn’t seem to work for notes that are being played after the pedal is down, do you know what might be causing this?

[@user-wv3gp2dt2x]

Hia Jeremy, ive got one of these a white one with speakers, do you know if i can record what i play and send it to my tablet or laptop ? I want to put some music of me playing to my short drone vids of the countryside and upload them to fcb and KZbin. Thanks mate. I love all your videos they are brilliant. Kevin.

[@user-ry7ns3ot6t]

Hi Jeremy. I wonder if you thought it was annoying how the "sound" indicator disappears when you choose a favorite, so you can't tell what instrument and variation that favorite is based on. Maybe you're just supposed to remember? All the other lights indicate, for example, what the modulation setting of the favorite is. I guess I'm wondering if other people have noticed that...might be better for a message board, but you have a good critical eye!

[@lanecollins8080]

the Yamaha P515 lets you attach an iPad for MIDI/Audio in and out? This Korg does not?

[@rizkipuruze]

Watching this makes me appreciate my stage keyboard more than ever. Yamaha CK88. I has 300 + sounds that i thought it wasn't a pleasant when compare it other keyboard with 1000+ sounds like workstation keyboard. I felt like chose the wrong type of keyboard. But seeing this, not anymore

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

Good question.

[@markmurto]

I saw a Korg sponsored demonstration and just wanted it NOW. Sell a kidney and get it. But your review brought me back to reality. Stage piano ..... no pitch bend.. neh.... particle MDF board bottom?????? For 2 grand $US you at least want to see some high end ply nice finish. Your "deal breakers" helped a lot.

[@gahlanaventis]

Thank Jeremy honest as usual highly brilliant is the capabilty for subscaling like quarter tone in any of the sv-1 or sv-2? Please

[@JeremySee]

Thanks buddy. You can set the scale tuning via the software editor and save into a preset. Every imaginable scale is possible because you can make your own scales on top of those already available.

[@gahlanaventis]

Jeremy See i tried with sv-1 but it gives only in Hz small range not quarter tone in cents. What about sv-2

[@nightworkband7715]

Very good review. I had written on another review of this board that there is a reason the Korg Grandstage is called their Flagship. Even though it's only a couple hundred dollars more it surpasses the SV2 by far and for many of the aspects you pointed out that the SV2 came up short. Have you played at the Grandstage? I'd be curious to see your review. I seriously have played them all and chose the Grandstage. Never looked back. Thanks for the review.

[@JeremySee]

Thanks for sharing! You are right, Grandstage ticks many boxes. There's this warmth & soul to the SV-2 though. Depends on one's scenario.

[@rudolfberger2232]

Grandstage is great but Sv2 warmer with more Soul.... In my opinion too..

[@dare2win215]

If possible, can you do a comparison between the SV-2 and the Grandstage, as I thought the latter was the successor to the SV-1 until NAMM

[@pawelsz95]

I think they are just different animals but share similar sounds and key action. SV2 lacks layering and splitting on-the-fly, the ninth touch curve "wide", dynamics knob... but has direct access to effects and has the tube. Anyway, a comparison like that will be interesting.

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

[@Astronomater]

of course besides the obvious roland facet piano, this was my favorite from the NAMM show.

[@CharlesAustin]

Hi Jeremy the sv2 looks awesome..May I suggest you do a review I’ve Roland fp80.. I know it’s ancient history but it remains the best keyboard. It has a great piano sound and others. It has 4 extended internal speakers with 2 placed on the back and 2 smaller speakers at each end of the keyboard for a more ambient sound. The keyboard action is truly practical and solid. The amplified PF80 is pure with lots of body in the piano sound. There have an internal vocal harmonizer which is really good fun and very versatile. I own one but can’t find another one anywhere. They are valued for good reason !!

[@ElektronicCricket]

My biggest complain about the SV1 is the quality of the acoustic pianos and also only 2 sound packs ... KORG didn't really make an effort to give more sounds . Best sound is the Fender Rhodes .... Don't know about this SV2 model ... But after 10 years !? Should be nice that SV1 owners can also use the new sounds ....

[@geoffk777]

I agree with you that seeing a particle board on the bottom of an expensive new keyboard is disappointing. But imagine how you'd feel if you just got a Kronos 2 88 or a Yamaha Montage 8 and found that the underside is--a particle board. This really needs to stop.

[@wanchale]

Hi. I am waiting to see your review on Korg XE20. I hope it does have best of both B2 & EK50 as expected.

[@PeterGarofalo]

I had SV 1 , sold it due to living arrangements & bought. Kronos 2 ,that's my studio - then I moved , (I'm a nomad ) I needed a gigging keyboard , ended up with a Korg B2 , which God willing I will ship to Morocco in autumn. I spend time there/ but I shall need a gigging keys next year. I'm thinking Korg D1 , because I love the RH keyboard & I know the sounds , I don't do lots of tweaking so really SV 2 is overkill for me . plus it's heavy . I've looked at Roland FP 10/30 but for the price I still think D1 is a rugged stage piano , with basic sounds I need . I've got a Roland V combo to do organs & synths.. & I use a looper to create live backings. I'm still looking , I like Korgs keypads , I am even thinking SP280 , but weight starts creeping up again & D1 I can just manage , or my roadie will . Sounds are the same & price too. Its helpful sharing ideas on these comments for feed back.

[@JeremySee]

Thanks for sharing, Peter.

[@PeterGarofalo]

​@@JeremySee you're welcome , This is such a lovely instrument though , but still with all these , Kronos , Krome , SP , I had plus various other makes including Nord , it's really difficult to get good organ playing, without waterfall keys . the 61 note are ok , but since using the Roland V Combo I've realised what a difference , drawbars & just 3 basic organs can make , with live effects . I really wish Korg would look at doing some drawbars , they don't really work that well on the Kronos. A small gigging organ , like Yamaha Reface or the Roland V , would be a winner . & not too expensive ..

This is a working musicians instrument. If your a keyboard geek, you will only find faults with this unit. If your a blues jazz fan, you will not find one problem with it.

[@VidarW]

I have a SV2 and it’s awesome in many ways! But there are a few issues: 1: I’m a huge fan of a tacky,crisp and warm Elton John’ish pianosound. Even browsing the editor with tons of pianos and being able to layer 3 sounds,I just can’t find MY pianosound. It sounds a bit plastic. The SV1 actually had better pianos 2: The big church organ sounds sounds AWESOME but when you play faster passages,it just cannot cope and starts to cut. Feels like the 128 polyphony isn’t enough. 3: why is the organ sounds louder than the other sounds? 3: the drive knob only makes the sound louder and you might as well use the volume knob 4: its about time to make editor app for tablets. It’s 2021 and its about time to wake up! 5: the sustainpedal feels like a piece of lego Dear Korg,you should make a MASSIVE update on the editor. Maybe put in some juicy bread & butter combos. This instrument is way too good to forget some basic needs
