Definitely a guitar thread not keyboard related

That looks pretty funky!

I like the aesthetic
No LED
Nice slanted face plate

Its an older model design byt this unit itself is only 5yrs old

Absolutely love the aesthetics. I am not clued up on styles and aesthetics... is that art-deco-ish?

Sort of sixties Scandinavian modernism. The music stand ought to be a computer terminal.

I’d say it’s more an attempt at mid century modern

Whatever it's called, I love it.

I quite like how it has a guitar amp style on off metal toggle switch rather than a plastic button
I see the newer version (sv2) has lost the chrome toggle … sad

The exposed preamp 12ax7 uis a nice thing

Update on the korg sv1

Amazing machine, love the rhodes/wurli etc and the action feels spot on to me.
BUT it has low output on the right channel. Im playing it throuhg a pair of powered headrush stage monitors and they are great, and if i crank the right speaker it works out ok but I get hiss from the speaker.

So after a bit of research Ive decided the ,most likely thing is , yes of course, fucked output caps. And everyone knows how much I love recapping PCB.

So here we go again....

Also yes that is a partial skeleton and home made outboard reverb.

With SOME difficulty I removed the output board

[StrummersOfThunder]

And on the board ive noted 100uF 25v caps with bulging ends (Jeremy)

My end is bulging in sympathy right now.

My end is bulging in sympathy right now.

The slightly vexing thing is the seller claiming it had no output issues prior to shipping.
These caps are cooked my friend and that didnt happen in shipping.

Dislike.

"It worked fine last time I used it 14 years ago!"

Recap done
Had left over caps from the space echo
If I can get it back together I’ll test later
Having dirty thoughts about painting the enclosure metallic red tho

Very nice machine, I was after one of these before I picked up my Roland RD64. Still wouldn't mind the upgrade to 88 keys one day.

Have to admit playing with keys and guitar makes you feel like a bit of a drummer at load in... so many bits!
