Korg SV-1

Post by Orang Goreng » Wed Dec 02, 2009 1:29 pm

About a minute ago I first heard of its existence. I haven't even heard it yet but I already want it. Seems like a competitor for the various Clavia/Nord ones, but I much prefer this design... Anyone tried it yet?

Luckily it's too expensive to buy on a whim.

No takers, eh? Maybe this will help.

I'm curious to hear the organs, though... from the youtube comments (whatever the heck they're worth, but at least this time they're not about nazis) it seems they're lacking a bit. Also, there don't seem to be any drawbars, which is a gross oversight. Normally I'd prefer old crap over new crap, but lugging old organs to some place only to find some crucial part has decided not to work that day is no fun. And the thing just looks cool... I'm getting a distinct Farfisa VIP 370 vibe from it.

Behringer needs to put their toddlers to work and copy this for less money ;).

Edit: oh, here are the organs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbTY7UrgXDc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

LEDs behind tubes should die, though.

Interesting. I don't need it, but I want it.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I shouldn't look at these things. I just went on German eBay to look for a cheap MIDI organ module, but instead found a GEM Imperial II that nobody seems to be bidding on, all-tube 60 organ amp included. I don't need a GEM Imperial II, but I WANT a GEM Imperial II.... sigh.
