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 — we have an arranger keyboard for you! The EK-50 U is part of Korg’s first affordable, full-size 61-key Entertainer Series arranger keyboards, with a focus on authentic American popular music genres. It packs over 700 sounds with 200 styles from the original EK-50, plus 88 new popular American styles such as Alternative Rock, Southern Rock, Country, Blues Reggae, and more. Newly added sounds focus on electric and acoustic guitars, electric basses, and 18 new drum kits. The EK-50 U also features easy operation, advanced recording and playback features, a great-sounding stereo speaker system, and LED buttons for effortless navigation.

Authentic styles for realistic backing and composition

There’s nothing cheesy about the selection of styles supplied with the Korg EK-50 U. Programmed by leading arrangers, the EK-50 U contains 200 styles from the original EK-50, and 88 newly added authentic American popular styles that provide you with unparalleled realism and detail. You won’t have to suffer through monotonous, repetitive accompaniment with the EK-50 U either, as each style contains two intros, four variations, two fills, a count-in, and two endings. The EK-50 U’s rich, detailed accompaniment also provides useful ideas for your own arrangements. Simply play a chord progression, and the Korg EK-50 U’s will complete the basic backing tracks for you!
