The Korg EK-50 is a 61-key arranger keyboard designed to provide versatile tones and easy operation for students, teachers, and musicians in homes, educational facilities, and live stage applications. It offers 280 auto-accompaniment styles and over 700 sounds to accommodate a variety of genres and compositional needs. Each style includes two intros, four variations, two fills, one count-in, and two endings. Set List mode allows you to organize the sounds you need into an easy-to-access list. Practice along with your favorite tracks via the built-in WAV/MP3 audio player, and utilize the internal 12-track sequencer to record and playback your ideas and finished songs.
The bright LCD screen and LED buttons ensure user-friendly navigation and setup. Interface the EK-50 with your computer and flash drive (available separately) via USB/MIDI device and host connectivity. With an integrated stereo speaker system pumping out 10W per channel, it lets you hear the music no matter where you are. Choose from 148 effects variations for the four stereo multi-effects processors—two for the selected style and two for the current sound—to enhance your performances. The keyboard runs on batteries or with included AC adapter.
AC adapter is packed within styrofoam. Please be aware of this when unpacking, so you do not accidentally discard it.
