My first synthesizer in 1979 was a Korg MS10, and then I had Roland, Yamaha, North ... and a Korg NS5R O5R / W
When I tried this trick, I came across the c. .., sounds exactly what all bathed in my youth: the organ of Pink Floyd and Genesis of the mellotron, pianos Supertramp, Mike Oldfield the Beatles, the organs of Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Angel, The Doors and many others.
I could not resist, I had to find a place in my studio and I must say that since one month I no longer touch the keyboard nor my other guitars ...
Using very simple: large buttons visible and bright. It throws on stage and it is handy.

Wish to vintage sounds (just listen to
).
Try "Can utility ..." Foxtrot Genesis on with the sound of mellotron, exactly!
The string sound is the best I've heard to this day, the dynamic rendering toggles cello solo to full orchestra.
So far I have not found any sound that is missed or misplaced.

The keyboard is well made, the return is felt hammers.
The USB connection allows you to change all the basic settings including some who do not switch on the side (like the presence or the peak of the equalizer medium).
It is the icing on the cake: you can make your own sounds then customize your SV1's nothing you-all-that-person-one-will-it-on-his-own-you.

Small flat and I agree with Spiritronic (opinion below: keys are misplaced memory, I tend to touch them with some major chords.
The 73 notes is a nice red while the 88 notes is ... bordeaux? well, not very nice what.

In short, this product is perfectly targeted to the nostalgic 70-80's, often 40-50 years, in fact, which may explain the price a bit high (but at that age it's usually over by 20 years!).
I would even say that the new concept is frankly: 36 sounds stop.
No menus Drawer with 512 parameters and 3000 submissions.
Not thousands of samples or wave it is necessary to manufacture, layer by layer (one to spend hours and during that time waits music ...).
Here is a simple, direct, and it sounds right away.

CAUTION: This is not a synth, no need to buy if you create new sounds like some regret (especially after 45 min of testing!) Is primarily a PIANO improved.

Otherwise I recommend it without hesitation and rather than 2 times:
magic product as Michel Deuchst.
