Korg X50 61-Key Synthesizer

Keyboard Gear

The sonic power of the Triton series in a portable keyboard.

The Korg X50 61-key synthesizer is an easy-to-move, lightweight, and affordable instrument. It delivers 512 professional-quality sound programs produced by the HI synthesis system from the acclaimed TRITON series. It has 470 multisamples, 518 drum samples, 16-part multitimbral, dual polyphonic arpeggiators, and 384 combinations constructed of up to eight programs each. The powerful effect section has four separate processors: one for insert effects, two for master effects, and one master EQ processor. Multi Mode allows the X50 to be played from an external sequencer as a sound module. It also has 4-channel audio output, a USB port, and plug-in sound-editing software that allows you to tweak and program the X-50 even from within your DAW software.
