KORG SV-1 KUDOS
Nice job, Mr Brislin! A couple of comments: I would have included lack of a flat top as a "con." I'm sure the SV1 looks stunning, but I would have traded looks for the ability to place a second keyboard on top. Second, am I to understand that there is only a single set of Rhodes samples? Personally I would have traded the synth brass or even the organ sounds for multiple Rhodes sample sets a Ia the Nord Stage series: the Mark I, Mark Il and Mark V samples all sound different to me in the Nord and I liked having the variety. Third, I'm surprised you didn't mention the amount of ROM in the instrument. I believe I've seen it listed as 51 2MB. That's a lot by current standards. I'd love to see the breakdown by instrument family, like the piano is 1 50MB, etc. Just the geek in me, I suppose. Fourth, Korg gets big points from me for not using an external AC adaptor. I left my Casio adapter at home and had a hard time matching one...
