• start by playing single low notes to hear how the sound naturally decays without any looping. Next
• try playing chords while holding down the damper pedal. The chord resonance and stereo spread remain natural and beautifully balanced
• with each note decaying as it should - just as it does on a real piano.  The SGX-2 uses loop-free stereo samples for every key

• every subtle shift in your touch brings the sound to life – enabling nuanced
• expressive performances with complete control over tone and dynamics. Includes 5 Piano Models KORG Collection SGX-2 includes five meticulously sampled pianos
• chosen from the finest instruments found in concert halls and studios around the world: German Grand – deep
• balanced
• and majestic Japanese Grand – bright
• powerful
• and articulate Italian Grand – rich
• lyrical
• and expressive Japanese Grand – intimate and detailed Japanese Upright – informal and full of character Each model responds with lifelike nuance
• allowing you to choose the perfect piano for any style or mood — from cinematic scoring to intimate solo performances. String Resonance
• Damper Resonance
• and Una Corda Real pianos sing with sympathetic resonance — when one string vibrates
• others subtly respond. With the damper pedal raised
• only held notes and the higher octaves resonate together. Press the pedal and every note joins in
• producing a rich
• enveloping resonance. The SGX-2 captures this complex acoustic behavior in every detail
• faithfully recreating the natural resonances that occur both with and without the pedal. The result is a piano tone that breathes
• shimmers
• and feels unmistakably alive. Grand pianos have an additional "soft" pedal
• technically known as una corda — Italian for “one string.” Normally
• each hammer strikes two or three strings at once. When you press the una corda pedal
• the keyboard and hammer mechanism shift slightly to the right
• causing the hammer to hit one fewer string and producing a softer
• more delicate tone. The Italian Grand model includes true una corda support
• faithfully capturing these subtle shifts in volume and timbre
• so you can perform with the full expressive range and authentic pedal response of a real piano. Equipped with a Variety of Effects The SGX-2 goes beyond simple acoustic piano tones with a full arsenal of studio-quality effects. Sculpt your sound with three flexible insert slots and a dedicated reverb. The 35 effect types span from vintage choruses
• flangers
• and phasers to lush tape echoes
• reverse delays
• and immersive shimmer reverbs.
