At last!!!! ... A great demo of just a bit of what the EK50 is capable of .... This board is the BEST value entry board EVER produced ... Amazing...I just love everything about it and so easy to use..... Well done Luke sounds great!
I love this keyboard! I am in duo playing 80's music such as OMD, Erasure and such like. We can load it up with midi files and off we go! No need for drum machines and sequencers. Fantastic!
I have a KORG KROME (WITH ADDED SOUNDS FROM DAN STESCO) Also a YAMAHA MODX7--& a ROLAND VR09 .I recently added this KORG EK50 .This synth is well worth the $$$ as it plays along with you ( not the other way round) It is a lot like having a ''BAND IN A BOX'' EXCEPT IT CAN'T PRINT OUT YOUR MUSIC AS ''B.I A B'' DOES. GO FOR IT MAN YOU WON'T REGRET IT AT ALL---(P.S. --NO I DON'T WORK FOR KORG. LOL.)
. If I hold down one key, and play other keys at the same time, is there anyway to make the initial key sound not be heard until any other keys that I'm playing are released? Currently if I hold down one key and play others, the initial key sound can be heard... However is it possible to have it not heard until the other additional keys being played are released?
Looks like a great value arranger keyboard. If I midi in from another keyboard will it still operate exactly as if I was playing directly. Can you mute any track in the arrangement, e.g bass
After 2.9 update I have a problem with headphones. There's barely output sound on them. Speakers on keyboard works fine but soon as I plug headphones in... nothing. Before 2.9 was ok, so I have no idea what's going on. And btw I tried everything possible to fix it, but clearly it's a software bug. Anyone with this problem on EK-50?
Suppose if i have a usb with 1000 songs in it.. is this keyboard will allow me to connect that usb and load those mp3 songs.. because i have read somewhere that it will take usb with only 99 mp3 song.. so please give clarification
As far as I know the limitation of 99 is to load usb styles into user memory. I have this keyboard and the songs of the usb read them at the moment, the limit is the capacity of the USB, I do not have as many songs as you but I do not have that limit that you comment.
Nice demo ! The keyboard isn't sensitive to velocity when i play with it, is it normal ? If someone can say if there is a way to activate velocity sensitivy it would make my day
GREAT DRAW BACK, SET LIST IS ONLY 4 REGISTRATION, COULD HAVE INCREASED TO 8, WE CANT USE THE INSTRUMENTS INSTATNTLY MORE THAN 4 IN LIVE PERFORMANCE. DEAR KORG MANUFACTURERS PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL IN FUTURE VERSIONS.
When used piano+strings along with sustain pedal...strings keeps on sustaning..so next when I play other notes ,old string notes and current merge and very unpleasant to hear How to avoid this?
im looking reviews, and i have seen in the comments, that yr not the only one with this problem. about 3 other people had complaints and they send it back.. i wanna know before i buy
First use the SPLIT button. Then assign the left hand sound (a Bass voice) to Lower1. You can have up to three sounds for the right hand (including an E.piano) assigned to Upper1 Upper2 and Upper3. Hope this helps!
very skilled player but it was also recorded using state-of-the art sound equipment. I'm not sure of you can get this quality with regular sound tools.
@@roberthosier2829 You don't need reviews when you own it. That's why I know what I'm talking about. The sound is either highly edited or there's some pro sound tool behind it. I'm not saying it's a bad product. Just the sound is not right out the box !
@@ILoveMYOOZIK I also have the ek50 L and it’s absolutely the same thing ! Nobody has been able to tell me the difference between those too beside the L and Price
The demo does show the sound the instrument is capable of generating but you are unhappy with the onboard speakers. There’s always going to be a difference between the sound the onboard speakers can produce versus running the keyboard into a computer recording, headphones, or an amplifier. It will always sound better via line-in or amplified. Too many variables affect live non amplified sound and speakers for size and weight. Anyone who doesn’t understand this should not be playing an electrical instrument. I have “toy” keyboards that sound ridiculous by themselves but are fantastic gigging instruments in our band when properly amplified.
@@brolly414 - probably the most versatile musician here - I play Classical grand pipe organ for Mass in my church, and am a Rock band singer / performer.
I really am not trying to be mean but, yes, you are a great player but, I didn't learn anything about the EK50 and I thought that was the whole purpose of the video?
Looking for less talented people playing keyboards? You’ve got the rest of TH-cam for that. To demonstrate the capabilities of an instrument you should have someone who understands those capabilities and has the talent to use them.
Korg always rig their demos. This is a cheap keyboard and i have heard it live and it sounds nothing like this . It sounds thin with little dynamics and no real depth to the sound ! Great playing by Luke as always though !

This thing actually sounds fantastic
Awesome playing love it!!!!😃

Keith Muller mine finally come this week due to covid limitations..probably tomorrow 😊 I found your posts also on ek forum at korg !!!
I've owned many boards and at first found this one hard to figure out. The manual is pretty bad too. But suddenly I "got it"
Great demo . Luke is a very skilled demonstrator.
So true! 🙂
I have KORG EK - 50
WHAT IS THE RIGHT SONGS SHOULD I COULD PLAY WITH IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP ME I GOT IN STRUGGLE.
Badass playing. That bass work, kudos.
What a nice explore of korg 50...where can i avail different styles if beats to flashdrive mode?
Best review in all TH-cam
Nice demo. You have excellent ability as a player. I own an EK-50. It's great value for money.
Hey am planning to buy one can I use it for big stage play outs
Very good demonstration....
wow this korg ek-50 ...insane!!! i will get soon
Great playing! Does Luke(?) have any instructional videos? Would like to learn more from this dude!
ONE BAD DUDE ON THE KEYS.... GREAT VIDEO
This man is a beast

Good video, good musician. I bought one after watching this.
Nice demo really appreciate 👍 the awesome player as well
I'm seriously thinking of getting one.. I Have a Korg Kross 1, but lately due to current pandemic, I am considering being a solo musician
I already got that, yesterday.
I should explore it.
I don't know yet.
but maybe interesting....

Sounds great through my headphones, but I wonder if you’ve used any editing or otherwise tweaked the ouput when recording this video.
Great dear but I wish you could elaborate on how to use the rythmas buttons otherwise you are grewt and amazing 😻
This is how a demo should be done👍 just ordered one
Have one for two years... was going to sell it, then realized it really has unique capabilities, like being able to combine 3 sounds.
@@alexisvan222I love mine as well
So happy to see Luke playing the keyboard that I have!!!
How are the sounds in real Marcos?
@@Shonuyadav6764 they're pretty good for an entry-level arranger, the pads strings and synths are pretty amazing
@@mruppel2 Thank You Marcos
How to use bass instrument as separate to the right hand playing other voice sound?
. If I hold down one key, and play other keys at the same time, is there anyway to make the initial key sound not be heard until any other keys that I'm playing are released?

ist possible to create styles in cubase and play them in ek 50 ? Regards
for the love of god does anyone know the song name at 5:44
Non mi è chiaro se la tastiera suona già così bene con i preset di fabrica .. ? O è necessario caricare altro ?
Very nice. Is it possible to connect a midi guitar to the keyboard usb with a midi/usb host? Thank you.
The jazz style and the sounds of brush are much better than the PA4X
C'è lo' e fantastica!!
Ci sto facendo un pensierino.. ma bella quanto? Mi sai dire quale è la differenza con l'altra korg uguale a questa?
@@ameliomedardo8553 ciao Amelio!
La korg ek50L ha' 87suoni in più e qualcos'altro ecco perché costa un po' di più tutto il resto e simile alla EK50

Does anyone know the setting for the Bass And Ride Cymbal played together on the Left Side of the keyboard ? Thanks , John
I got one and I can't even get the sound you started with. I like your sound but mine is hardly that full
This is awesome I'm going to buy me one
Shalom Israel I just got mine last Friday the sounds are pure and amazing
Please create video for new style and tone editing
Accompaniment settings?
Super demo

Wow!! Does the EK50 offer either a Mellotron strings or choir patch?
Hi grewt video I got mine Friday
Thanks for the video. I am very curious if the action on the EK-50 is more like the action on the Korg B2 or the action on the Korg I3.
i3 for sure
Good day Sir, which is better in performance KORG EK50 or ROLAND BK3? Thank you for your reply Sir Advance HAPPY NEW YEAR to you.
Korg EK 50 IN .. "TRANSPOSE LOCK" Supported ???
Nice demo !
The keyboard isn't sensitive to velocity when i play with it, is it normal ? If someone can say if there is a way to activate velocity sensitivy it would make my day
ek 50 manual
It's sensitive to velocity and it can be adjusted the touch (soft- medium- hard- fixed)
as controller midi can use keyscape software????

Is it possible to get arpeggiator on this keyboard?
No. There’s no arpeggiator for this. Look at the Korg i3 instead
Pedal sustain yang digunakan apa?
Bagaimana settingannya?
mudah2an dijawab..
Thanks
I have one at home. How do you split the sounds for instance electric piano up top and the bass on the lower end?
I'm trying to figure that out too. The only video I could find that might help is in another language I can't speak
First use the SPLIT button. Then assign the left hand sound (a Bass voice) to Lower1. You can have up to three sounds for the right hand (including an E.piano) assigned to Upper1 Upper2 and Upper3. Hope this helps!
great
Luke is a brilliant product specialist, I want to buy the thing and I don't even need it!!
Hahaha yes, totally right...
this or casio ctx 3000 ???
Much better than Casio
Can this play arpeggio in accomp?
No arpeggiator if that's what you mean
It has a few piano arpeggio accomps and you can load more from USB but it doesn't have an arpeggiator engine
Супер!!
❤❤❤
Wow !! Thats an amazing Pipe Organ sound for a keyboard at this price point !! You sold it to me Luke !! (Y)
Questi sono suoni di fabrica ? O bisogna caricarne altri di suoni per suonare cosi bene ?

I've same keyboard.. Korg Ek - 50
How much
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I'm genuinely interested in this keyboard and think the video's great, but it's a shame it ended with elevator music
That "elevator" music is what sold this keyboard for me.
@@RedEyeC I’m glad you like it. And I like the keyboard too - just not a fan of that kind of music.

The pianist is worried to show his ability instead of showing the keyboard characteristics.

Be nice keyboards if it wasnt so ugly.
This thing sure does make a terrible noise. Wonder if you could play a real song on it.
