Main Features
Wide range of vintage sounds
 ▪ SV-2 is a grand piano and vintage keyboard instrument, mixed with a vin‑
tage instrument amplifier, stompbox and studio effects simulator. It is a 
toolbox full of classical and vintage keyboard sounds, a full database of attic 
keyboard instruments for the performing musician.
 ▪ SV-2 has a wide range of sounds, including four concert grand pianos, vin-
tage electric pianos, synthesizers, upright pianos, as well as historic key-
board instruments like the harpsichord and the pipe organ. Sounds can be 
modified to your taste and saved into the sixty-four “Favorite” memories.
Ease of use, pleasure to play
 ▪ Selecting sounds is as easy as using a knob to select the base sound, and 
one for a variation of the base sound. And editing sounds (in realtime!) is just 
a matter of turning a couple of knobs.
 ▪ The high-quality, realistic KORG RH3 keyboard (made in Japan) features four 
zones with different weights. This gives you the same realism and feeling as 
a grand piano keyboard. You can choose from eight different touch curves 
to adjust how the sound will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.
 ▪ Up to three layered timbres per sound, or a split letting you play up to two 
timbres with your right hand and one with the left, lets you play like the per-
fect one man band.
 ▪ When the amplifier simulator is not involved, there is smooth transitioning 
from a sound to another.
 ▪ Eight alternative tuning curves allow for precise tuning of vintage instru-
ments and grand piano alike.
 ▪ The transpose function lets you change the pitch of the instrument, and the 
master tune function allows you to make fine tune adjustments.
The same pedals of a grand piano, and more
 ▪ The damper pedal simulates the natural string resonance and noises found 
in the pedal of an acoustic piano; it also lets you vary the amount of the ef-
fect by how far you press down on it (“half‑pedal” function). 
 ▪ The SV-2 provides connections for the same three pedals as a grand piano. 
Also, you can use the pedals to control volume, rotary slow/fast change, or 
the wah effect. Pedals are automatically assigned to controlling the right 
effect without any additional programming.
