The SG01v is a little (half-rack) synthesizer module produced in 1995 by AKAI, together with other half-rack modules. It is a "vintage synth module", hence you won't find realistic grand pianos, saxophones or acoustic guitars here; instead, you will be treated to a series of classic synthesizer and keyboard patches.

I was pleasantly surprised by this synth - because it sounds really good, and even though this is not a super-programmable module, it still is a lot of fun and a nice addition to any musician's studio.

The SG01v features 256 patches in its memory, all inspired (and/or sampled) from classic instruments such as Roland Juno and TB-303, Moog Minimoog, Oberheim OB-X, PPG, Solina etc. There are also two banks of classic-sounding drums (a la TR-808 and Simmons).

The polyphony is 32 notes, and it is 16-channel poly-timbric. The editing capabilities are a bit short (Shape - attack & release- , Tone - filter cutoff -, Special - depends on the tone selected), but you can do more via MIDI editors - for instance, via NRPN you can change the reverb settings (the module comes with a set of 30, but will need an external fx module to really make it "shine".)

Other very useful features include the mono/legato mode (used in a lot of the synth bass presets), and most importantly, the aftertouch - that adds incredible expressivity to this module.'
