Introduction
WELCOME!
Thank you for using the Korg SV-1 Editor for the SV-1 Stage Vintage Piano.
While we were very careful in keeping the editing capabilities of the piano itself
at a minimum, to make it clean and easy to use, we don’t want to prevent you
from making your own sounds. Enter the SV-1 Editor: a graphic user interface
for your SV-1, providing full access to all parameters. When finished editing,
your sounds and favorite settings can be written to the SV-1 or to a file on your
computer. The SV-1 Editor file format is the same in Windows and Mac OS X, so
you can effortlessly transfer the files between these platforms. The SV-1 Editor is
a useful librarian for managing all your sounds and settings.
So, by using the SV-1 Editor you can comfortably view and edit all sound param-
eters and general settings of your SV-1. With it, you can:
• edit existing sounds (including favorites)
• create and edit tuning scales
• create libraries of sounds, to be exchanged with other SV-1 users
• combine sounds from different libraries
• change the order of sounds
• replace sounds you don’t plan to use, with others you like better

TURN YOUR SV-1 ON

For all features of the SV-1 Editor to work, the SV-1 must be connected and
turned on before you run the software. Otherwise, only the Backup page will be
available to manage your backup sets.
Note that your computer might exit from “sleep” mode when you turn the SV-1
on. This is a normal behaviour, since the USB port is “sensing” the SV-1 return-
ing to an active state.
