  • Our take on the Korg SV-2 88

    The Korg SV-2 88 is a stage piano built around vintage electric and acoustic piano sounds, with 88 fully weighted keys and a tube-driven preamp for warmth. It has onboard speakers, XLR outputs and USB-MIDI, so it can go straight to a PA or a computer without extra gear. It suits players who want classic keyboard tones and hands-on effects rather than deep synthesis. Against rivals like the Nord Stage and Yamaha CP88, it is heavier and less flexible for organ and synth work, but its piano and electric piano voices are widely liked.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Korg SV-2 88 good for gigging?
    Yes, it has XLR outputs, a sturdy weighted action and hands-on controls for live use. Its weight is the main drawback if you move it often.
    Does the SV-2 88 have built-in speakers?
    Yes, it has onboard speakers for practice and small settings. They are not loud enough to replace a PA on a full stage.
    How does it compare with the Nord Stage?
    The SV-2 88 focuses on pianos and electric pianos with a warmer, simpler layout. The Nord Stage offers more organ and synth flexibility but costs more and has a different key feel.
    Can I record with the SV-2 88?
    Yes, USB-B MIDI lets you connect to a computer, and XLR outputs feed an audio interface or mixer. It does not send audio over USB, so you need an interface to record sound.
    Does it have a modulation wheel?
    No, it has no modulation wheel or pitch bend lever, which limits synth-style playing. It is aimed more at piano and electric piano players.
    What is in the box?
    You get the keyboard, a power cable and a music stand. A sustain pedal is not included, so plan to buy one.
