KORG SV2-88S - Stage Piano with K-ARRAY Speakers, 88 RH3 Keys, and 72 Vintage Sounds

The KORG SV2-88S takes the Stage Vintage Series to a new level with meticulously sampled vintage sound, an 88-key weighted RH3 keyboard (A0–C8), and built-in speakers developed in cooperation with K-ARRAY ( 2 × 15 W , 2 × 2.5” + 2 × 3” passive radiators). Featuring 128 notes of polyphony , 72 factory sounds , and 64 Favorites , it offers immediate panel access to acoustic pianos (German, Italian, Japanese, and Austrian), reed and cue electric pianos, clavinets, organs, and vintage layers. The RX layer adds realism by mixing in authentic noises (hammers, contacts, releases) for a three-dimensional and expressive performance.

Its EDS-X architecture allows for custom layers and splits with the free SV-2 Editor software (one Favorite can combine up to three timbres). The 6-effects chain reproduces a classic rig : 3-band EQ , Pre FX (compressor, vibrato/tremolo, U-Vibe , VOX Wah ), amp modeling with Valve Reactor 12AX7 , modulation (chorus, phaser, flanger, rotary) and studio-grade reverbs/delays ; the stereo limiter ( Total FX ) is adjusted from the Editor. In terms of professional connectivity, it incorporates balanced XLR outputs as well as L/MONO–R jack, L/R line inputs , MIDI In/Out and USB-B ( MIDI interface), plus three pedal jacks (damper included).
