The Korg M50-61 YELLOW is a lightweight Synth Workstation with retro looks, featuring the same EDS engine as the M3.
The Korg M50 is packed with the latest sounds and functionality that Korg has developed in its many years of producing synthesizers and music workstations. It features a light-weight compact design that makes it ideal for live performance, band practice, and especially easy transportation.
The M50 uses Korg's latest \"EDS\" (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) sound generation system, the technology used on the M3, delivering exactly the same stunning sounds and effects!
The abundant 256 Mbytes of ROM (when calculated as 16-bit linear) provides a total of 1,077 multisamples (including seven stereo multisamples) sampled at 48 kHz as well as 1,609 drum samples (including 116 stereo drum samples). These PCM sources were sampled using the best recording equipment and edited with expert care to deliver an incredible palette to create sounds with.
The M50 contains 608 programs, 384 combinations each consisting of up to sixteen programs, and 32 drum kits used as oscillators for drum programs. From real acoustic instrument to vintages synths and imaginative textures the M50 delivers the wide range of great sounds you expect from a Korg keyboard.
As the core of your music production system, the sequencer provides 16 MIDI tracks, up to 128 songs, and lets you record 210,000 notes. With a high resolution of 1/480, it can capture every detail of your expressive performance.
In addition to a standard arpeggiator with five preset patterns (UP, DOWN, ALT1, ALT2, RANDOM), the M50 provides a polyphonic arpeggiator that can generate a variety of chord progressions and phrases based on the pitch and timing of the keys you play. This lets you produce a broad range of patterns, ranging from drums (using the \"Fixed Note Mode\"), bass phrases, or even guitar or keyboard backing phrases.
The M50 features the same TouchView display that's found on Korg's high-end music workstations. The 320x240 pixel clear display ensures excellent visibility and operability, giving you easy access to an enormous amount of parameter information.
