KORG M50-61 61-Key Synth Workstation Music Keyboard

Whether you use it as an independent Keyboard or as a workstation hooked up to a PC or Mac computer, the Korg M50-61 puts you and your creativity at the helm for constructing Music and sounds. Weighing in at just fifteen pounds is the fiery new KORG M50, ready to take on all contenders! Incredible new sounds; fat & juicy combis, splits and layers; a plethora of ace effects; dynamic Drum Tracks; enhanced poly-arpeggiators; classic sequencing tools, a solid, confident keybed; up-to-date SD storage; companion Editing Software and Korg's famous TouchView interactive display. The buttons themselves are rock solid, Backlit and rounded for ease-of-use under any playing conditions. In addition to Korg's four-way Joystick and multi-function knobs, the M50 offers four Chord Triggers that provide a flexible and fun way to play chords and trigger ARP patterns. A ten key numeric keypad allows on-demand instant access to sounds, combis and other parameter/values. It is packed with over 600 individual sound programs, each one created by Korg's renowned international voicing team. With a robust 256 MB of sample Data - recorded in exacting studio conditions - the acoustic instruments are delivered with authenticity and realism, providing rich, natural articulation; synth sounds can be bombastic and aggressive, lush and enveloping, or pure and delicate. Hundreds of drum track patterns, and over a thousand arpeggiator patterns - including chord grooves, picking-patterns, and more - are instantly available to add punch and pizzazz.

In addition to the individual programs, a combination (or "combi") allows up to 16 sound programs to be stacked, split, layered and zoned across the keyboard; or set to individual MIDI channels. Nearly 400 of these combis come preloaded offering up tasty blends and splits for live performance. All of the preloaded sounds are completely editable, and there is plenty of room on-board (640 Programs, 512 Combinations) for all the sounds that you edit, modify, or create on your own. The on-board sequencer is the core of your music production studio. Over 200,000 notes can be recorded on 16 MIDI tracks and up to 128 songs. Enhanced 480 ppq Resolution captures your performance with pinpoint accuracy - whether you play in realtime or step notes in one at a time.
