Frequently Asked Questions
The RH3 is very good for a stage piano, offering a decent level of realism, but it lacks the absolute nuance and subtleties of a truly high-end acoustic piano action.
No, the SV-2S uses Korg’s proprietary EDS-X engine and doesn’t support user sample loading, limiting customization to the built-in sounds and effects.
It's not just a gimmick; the tube drive provides a surprisingly authentic warmth and subtle distortion that's great for adding character to electric pianos, organs, or even piano sounds.
