Korg’s First Affordable Full-size Arranger
If you’ve ever wanted to play your favorite music and sound like a million bucks — without spending a fortune — Korg has an arranger keyboard for you! The EK-50 is Korg’s first affordable, full-size 61-key arranger; and it packs over 700 sounds, 280 auto-accompaniment styles, and easy operation — plus advanced recording and playback features, a great-sounding stereo speaker system, and LED buttons for effortless navigation.
Styles for realistic backing and composition
There’s nothing cheesy about the selection of styles supplied with the Korg EK-50. Programmed by leading arrangers, the EK-50 contains 280 different styles that provide you with unparalleled realism and detail. You won’t have to suffer through monotonous, repetitive accompaniment with the EK-50 either, as each style contains two intros, four variations, two fills, a count-in, and two endings. The EK-50’s rich, detailed accompaniment also provides useful ideas for your own arrangements. Simply play a chord progression, and the Korg EK-50 will complete the basic backing tracks for you!
