Weighing in at just 15 lb., the KORG M50 keyboard workstation is packed with incredible 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 TouchView interactive display. It all adds up to an invigorating and sexy KORG keyboard, at your service.

There's a Keyboard for Everyone
Over 20 years of category-defining workstation expertise beats in the heart of the M50 Compact Workstation. Just as the M3 borrowed elements from the legendary OASYS, the KORG M50 captures all the sonic firepower of the M3, distilled into a top-notch performance instrument. This 61-note keyboard features a semi-weighted Natural Touch. Its fast and responsive synthesizer keybed facilitates expressive and dynamic performing.

A Natural Performer
Made to be played, the M50 is inviting and comfortable. The TouchView screen is intuitive and interactive, allowing the uniquely angled front panel to remain refined and uncluttered. The buttons themselves are rock solid, backlit, and rounded for visibility and ease-of-use under any playing conditions. In addition to KORG's 4-way joystick and multifunction knobs, the M50 keyboard offers 4 Chord Triggers that provide a flexible and fun way to play chords and trigger arp patterns. A 10-key numeric keypad allows on-demand instant access to sounds, combinations (or combis), and other parameter/values. 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 to your M50 performance, and to provide hours of inspiration.

Perfectly Shaped Sounds
M50 is packed with over 600 individual sound programs, each one created by KORG's international voicing team. With a robust 256MB of sample data—recorded in exacting studio conditions—the acoustic instruments are delivered with authenticity and realism, providing rich, natural articulation. For example, synth sounds can be bombastic and aggressive, lush and enveloping, or pure and delicate. First and foremost, the M50 can be a cornerstone keyboard for any musician. The remarkable electric piano offers three layers of stereo switching and an additional resonance layer for faithful and natural reproduction of the piano's entire dynamic range.

In addition to the grand pianos, myriad piano and keyboard mainstays are included, from a mono piano for pumping it out live on stage, to the ever in-demand vintage KORG SG-1 Sampling Grand. The electric pianos are responsive, dynamic, and expressive, with all the tine and hammer-slap you can muster. The enhanced clavs feature all the classic settings with wide dynamic response, and there are even string and flute sounds taken from the tape-driven keyboards of days gone by. KORG's REMS pickup/amp/cabinet modeling technology provides that finishing touch. All the classics are there at your fingertips with spot-on programs that are a blast to play. Need to quickly tweak a sound to your liking? No problem. Tone Adjust allows simple access to the most important parameters and characteristics of a sound without having to dive deeply into programming. Available in Program, Combi, and Sequencer modes, you can get done what you need to with minimum fuss and effort.

Mix & Match
In addition to the individual programs, a 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 tasty blends and splits for live performance. All of the preloaded sounds are completely editable, and there is plenty of room onboard (640 programs, 512 combinations) for all the sounds that you edit, modify, or create on your own.

Effect-ive Energy
The generous effect section of the M50 brings your sounds to life. Five insert effects and two master effects can be assigned and routed at will, with a total effect to add that final polish. From spacious and luxurious reverbs to space-warping modulation types, the effects can not only embellish a sound after the fact, but they can also be part of the sound programming itself, adding unique and defining sonic elements.

D-mod (Dynamic Modulation) allows realtime control of various parameter effects as part of your performance. Effect parameters can be sync'd to the two common LFOs or a MIDI clock source to further integrate the effects into the overall sound. Over 170 top-quality effects are available, including KORG's proprietary REMS modeling effects. Each program, whether alone, in a combination, or assigned to a sequencer track, is equipped with its own 3-band EQ for that final tone shaping.
