KORG SV-1 1.0 User GUIDE (EFGI1) - Scavino

6 – Introduction | Real eXperience
Easy connection
• Featuring an USB digital interface and MIDI IN and OUT connectors, SV-1
offers you plenty of potential and numerous options to expand your system.
The USB port also carries MIDI data, so that you can connect the SV-1
directly to your personal computer with a single cable and without the need
of a dedicated MIDI interface. A dedicated KORG USB MIDI Driver is freely
available for full use of the SV-1’s MIDI features, and can be found in the
included Accessory CD or downloaded from our web site.
• The Local Off button immediately configures your SV-1 as a master keyboard
for working with a sequencer.
Enhanced editing
• While integrated editing is kept to a minimum for maximum ease of use,
sophisticated editing is allowed by using the SV-1 Editor. By using this software,
you can store all of your own sound, amp settings and effect model settings
as a “preset” in one of 36 preset sounds and 8 favorite memories. Huge
libraries can be created, and collections of preset exchanged with other users.
The SV-1 Editor can be found in the included Accessory CD or downloaded
from our web site.
REAL EXPERIENCE
ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?
The SV-1 sounds feature Korg’s Real eXperience technology, giving unprecedented
realism and detail to sounds. While existing sampling techniques have
resembled an audio snapshot, our technology is more of a hologram, accurately
reproducing every dimensional detail of the sound. Grand piano, electric piano
and clavi’s are all sampled with the hammer and natural release sound, to preserve
the natural imaging of the sound. Different dynamic levels are captured to
extend the instrument’s expressive vocabulary.
Take for example the grand piano. SV-1 uses the sound of the key being released
and the hammer returning, as well as the damper resonance of the strings to create
all of the subtle shadings that create a superior instrument sound. This attention
to detail defines the sound of the new SV-1, providing an instrument that
can interpret every nuance of touch into a meaningful musical gesture.
This technique applies to all other sounds as well. For example, electric pianos,
clavi’s and organs are for the first time reproduced in complete realism, and do
not sound synthetic and deprived of any life-like quality. These sounds react
under your fingers exactly as the real instrument, and results in a more impressive
performance when playing on stage.
