Résumé de l'article de SoS sur le SV1

[Francois]

Pros

• The acoustic and electric piano sounds are outstanding.
• RX Noise adds a new level of realism to them.
• It’s a joy to play.

Cons

• You need to hook it up to a computer to get the best from it.
• No splits, layers or multitimbrality.
• The non-piano sounds somewhat confuse its identity, in my opinion.

Summary

The SV1 provides the best emulations of acoustic pianos, electro-mechanical pianos and electronic pianos that I have yet heard on a single instrument.

It also offers a range of additional sounds such as organs and strings, but it’s hard to decide whether these are a bonus or a distraction.

If you’re in the market for a stage piano, you mustn’t buy anything until you have tried this.

-------------

Le truc que je retiens de l'ensemble de l'article c'est que les sons sont apparamment superbes, mais que sans split, layer ou multitimbralité, il va être impossible de s'en servir comme clavier-maître à moins de rajouter un truc type Novation Zero SL ou Nocturn en sortie du SV1.

On a l'essentiel !

C'est aussi un peu l'impression que m'ont laissé les démos (36 démos) audios dans l'autre post.

Les sons de piano acoustique (grand piano surtout) et les pianos électriques sont vraiment de toute beauté.

L'orgue...ça fait un peu sourire. Surtout quand on a entendu ce que sort un Nord Electro 3 ! Et les autres sons (Solina, Mellotron, etc...), je trouve la formulation de SOS très bien sentie ! Je n'en pense pas moins après avoir entendu les démos audio.

A mon humble avis, en matière de pianos acoustiques et pianos électriques, il fait jeu égal voir mieux que Nord. Pour le reste, le suédois est toujours encore bien devant. Mais il coûte également un peu plus...

En fait je me réjouis de l'essayer en vrai pour me faire encore une idée plus précise et pouvoir m'exprimer de manière objective.

Bon, c'est un (très bon) piano, quoi, c'est déjà pas si mal. Qu'est-ce qu'ils disent sur les effets? Il en est des pianos électriques comme des guitares: c'est un peu les effets qui font la moitié de l'identité sonore de l'instrument.

Les effets du SV1. Extrait (c) SoundOnSound.

Although you can’t edit the multisamples, nor even select one directly as part of the sound-creation process, the SV1 is packed to the gunnels with programmable effects. First in the chain lies an effective three-band EQ. There are no controls on the front panel for centre frequency, ‘Q’ or slope, although the editor allows you to sweep the frequency of the mid-band. Next comes a selection of Pre FX units, ones that traditionally lie before a preamplifier. These are compression, boost, U-Vibe (Uni-Vibe), Hammond chorus/vibrato, tremolo, and a Vox wah-wah that you can leave in ‘auto’ mode or control via a footpedal. You can only select one effect at a time, and the names of the knobs on the control panel are often inappropriate, but they do their jobs well.
Third in line lies the vintage amp modeller. Although this appears basic and can generate an unpleasant amount of noise if controlled only from the front panel, it’s more sophisticated than it appears, because the editor allows you to cross-combine the six models shown with any of 10 speaker cabinets, and provides a full range of ‘head’ controls, including noise reduction. There’s also one of those glowing glass bottle thingies that guitarists love, bathed in a fake orange glow provided by a small lamp hidden behind it, and coupled to a dummy output transformer and speaker load. This lies between the amp and speaker models and should help to create a ‘miked up’ sound, even when the SV1 is connected directly to a mixer or the inputs of a recorder.
Next come the Modulation effects, with two choruses, two phasers, a flanger and Korg’s unsurpassed rotary speaker emulation. Two of the effects are instantly recognisable. Chorus 1 is a Boss CE1, while Phaser 2 is a reasonable recreation of the popular Small Stone phaser. I suspect that there’s at least one MXR in there, too. However, you’ll have to hook the SV1 to a computer to get the best from these, because many of their parameters are only available using the editor.
Moving on, we come to a reverb/delay that offers room, plate, hall and spring reverbs, plus an emulation of a tape echo unit and a basic recreation of Korg’s DL8000R stereo delay. Again, the editor gives access to a wider range of controls than is available on the SV1 itself, with extras such as pre-delay and damping for the reverbs, and feedback for the delays.
Finally, there are two types of limiter that are invisible without the editor. A studio engineer would probably ask you to defeat these, but they’re there if you want them.

Merci pour ces extraits d'article, Francois.

[eikyô]

Merci François je me demande si les prochaines workstations Korg disposeront de la même qualité de sons que le SV1 ça serait bien en tout cas :D

[Méliès]

Merci François, sympa ces extraits

dommage que ça ne "splitte"pas ,mais ça confirme le concept "clavier "vintage" en ce qui me concerne ,le split ne me sert qu'à la BMG.Je le ferai avec le clavier de l'orgue.Avec un son "Rhodes" ça le fait aussi en BMG.
