I got one of these earlier this year. I may trade it in next year for three reasons. It’s not easy to figure out the features. The instruction book is not very clear. The piano sound could be better.
i cant save anyting on my m50 after ive recorded!! my media mode is pretty much blank, i can select save, but the drop down menu is not how ive heard it should be, it has different options but theyre in a grey writing and nothing happens if i press them! :'(
A friend of mine has a Korg X50 and i dont know but whenever i play his keyboard most of the Sounds Sound Thicker and Stronger than the M50, I have really good ear i think, does anybody know whats going on. I just bought my M50 and i thought it would Own the X50.
Great video... a bit more clear than most. I think it is assumed that we already know most of what we're doing... but I don't. Need true step by step. Trying now to figure out how to edit an arpeggio style and save as a user arpeggio in a separate place with a separate name.
metal i jist bought one to in may of this year im still trying to figure it out bit the sounds are awsom..plug your sustain not in damper but the one next to it
@SoadTom22 yes, i have the m50 and u can do ANYTHING with sounds, transpose, combinations, effects, arpeggioa... anything that u can imagine... use the joystick as effect, etc... anything
i found this information to be very good retailers must realize there are some musicians that didn't start playing electronic keyboards they started with the regular acoustic piano........sales people don't really have the time to show you anything......they only want you to buy it and that's it but thanks for this website and you are an excellent teacher!!!!!!!!!!
Mmm, really good tutorial, really clear voice, I learned a lot....
Anyway, I just got one tonight, and I wanted to know first, how can i change the octave configuration on the m50 piano effect (the first one), cause I could't change it u.u
And the Second thing is that my pedal just doesn't worg when i just plug in, so If anyone could give me some tips it will be great, again, thanks for the toturial.
Very good tutorial .... questions please .....When i do a song on sequence mode ....how to save this song .....and when i restard my Korg ....where is my song ....I just can not find it.......thanks to France
Hey Mikescape08. I need some help. I have a Korg TR...and i have saved a song i made on the sequencer to my SD card in Media. Now the thing is... I want to put the music i did on my computer and play it from my computer...but the file is in .SNG... Do you know how to convert and/or read .SNG files??
And if you play the two side-by-side, you'll find the keys are more responsive and allow for better velocity and dynamics when striking. I just compared them at GC and was amazed at how much better the M50 was. The keys on the Juno G felt like a $100 Radio Shack keyboard in comparison, and I was almost sold on the Juno G from online info until I played the M50 today. I used to have the original Triton. The M50 is the Triton souped up to the max!
Does anyone know how to save a program (sound) which I am going to use in a live performance and quickly load the program in the performance without spending time to find that again?
If you want to use single programs you should put them back to back in the bank d and scroll them with a switch pedal, if you want to use combinations (different programs together) do the same in bank d.
I owned some casio, yamaha, korg keyboards but the best I have ever played on was roland. That is the best sound you can get. Now I have korg m50 because I can't afford roland and let me tell you, it sound just great! If you just play with pre-recorded sounds it may sometimes sound cheesy for you but play around with it and you'll find great sounds. Your video is great, put some more explanations of what this korg capable of. Thanks!
NO COMPARISON between the M50 & MO6! The MO6 is years behind the M50! You obviously have NO CLUE what your talking about! I did the video, did the upgrade from the M06 to the M50. But I AM excited to see what yamaha comes out with to answer Korg's release of the M50!
im looking to buy a synth and this one was recomended to me. would this work for industrial type music? every demo ive heard from this thing sounds cheesy....
LOL,,, sounds are EXACTLY the sound sets of the big $ Korg. Cheezy? LOL. Whatever! You have no clue! Funny part, I do know the facts, and have used the M50 live in LARGE setups!
Buy something other than Korg of your not liking the sound set!
Ok, I'm the actual guy who made this video, my kid posted it under his name.
After almost a year, here is my report.
There is NO sampling on the M50, get the M3 if you need sampling.
In the studio, it's a better than decent unit with an OUTSTANDING sound-set and limitless fine-tuning & mixing of the sounds.
Live, for my use (I play bass and use the M50 in maybe 15 songs), the M50 is the PERFECT ticket for me.ONLY thing that would be nice is a Click out feed. NOTHING in the $1000 class compares!
I bought this kb last christmas. It sounds awesome, but being my first kb I'm having hard time figuring out 16 track midi recorder, manual just doesn't give you that much info. I wanted to add some different sounds to my recording I play the guitar and record on a boss 8 track recorder. I need help with this device any suggestions or coments I appriciated.
If anyone is interested in listening to high audio quality demos of the KORG M50, and somewhat diferent (and IMO better than others) come visit all my KORG M50 demo videos!!! Please leave comments or suggestions and Rating..
Great video, good explanation of the instrument capabilities. Please make more videos on how to put a song together from scratch, how to connect to computer and midi externals, etc. Thanx!
yea bro, it showed me a couple things i didnt know...keep it up, you can help alot of people that wnt or cant understand the manual. Personally, I have gotten tired of being reffered from pages to other pages....manual is like a maze. I wouldnt mind keeping in touch with you, I have 2 bands that have sold cds globally and I just bought one of these, I can compensate you for any further help.
man, I'm having trouble with the sequencer. If I have strings recorded on track 1, when I go to record track 2, the sound changes on track 1 to whatever sound track 2 is under. What am I doing wrong?
I've got the Triton Extreme, and im not sure what problem ur having, but i can give a brief description on bringing in instruments and effects from program mode to the sequencer.
For a start, touching "copy from program" in the seq, you get the options of bringing in its effects. If you already have a program with its effects in the seq, this newly brough in prog will overwrite the effects.
What i learnt to do is start with a base prog with basic effects, and manually bring in other programs!
Hello, i wanna know the exact same thing as fallosky.If theres no way to do this, maybe can you tell us a way to arrange the sounds so it takes less time. TY!!
