Korg M50 - Playing beats and scratching on my Korg M50

This is my Korg M50, and me experimenting with the "Scratch" effect on a drum sound. I also distorted the drums a little bit for fun. The scratch effect seems much overlooked, but is a ton of fun to freestyle with. Anyway, enjoy!

what's the combi or prog you're using?? I'm trying to figure out how to scratch for a gig tomorrow... thanks!

@trevyn41 i am using the Hip Hop drum kit, and i activated the effect simply named "Scratch". I think it's number 31. in categories, i believe it's in the modification/pitch category. also, you'll want to set the input to the joystick x axis. by default, it sets it to Y, which is not comfortable to use. after you get the scratch working, play around with adding other effects as well, i added some kind of Wah effect and it came out great! hope this helps!

I´m about to buy this soon! Sounds nice! How easy it is to compose a song with multiple instruments? Do you need computer for it, any programs?

Thanks!

hi. i actually never use built in workstations with keyboards, i find it to be too difficult. however the m50 has usb connectivity and is very easy to use with any standard digital audio workstation software. i personally use Cubase

I've had the M50 since August and have made awesome beats using it's internal sequencer and have it paired up with an Akai MPD26 control Pad to trigger samples using Reason 5. Any DAW software is cool. However, if you think the M50's sequencer is too complicated you have no place making beats. Maybe look for a little Yamaha Portatone and start with Old MacDonald's Farm. Awesome job with the beat travlemon.

I don't know how people do that on keys! I can only groove on a drumkit or I have to layer tracks in sequencer.
