Korg's brilliant sounds in a handy size
The Korg X50 music synthesizer features the HI (Hyper Integrated) sound
engine that's used on the world-famous TRITON series. It gives you pro-quality
sounds in an ultra-compact body. This keyboard synthesizer delivers unbeatable
convenience and enjoyment for live performance or song production.
A rich array of sounds and powerful effects
The 64 MB PCM memory contains a wide range of sounds, including piano,
strings, guitar, and synth sounds. With 512 sound Programs, as well as 384
“Combinations” that let you use up to eight Programs together, you
can start enjoying a diverse selection of great sounds right away. The effect
section lets you simultaneously use four effects (one insert effect, two master
effects, and one EQ), and provides a full selection of effect types such as
reverb, chorus, and delay. Best of all, the X50 is compatible with Korg’s
TR line of music workstations so you can share sounds and songs with Korg users
around the world.
Dual arpeggiator makes performance even more fun
An arpeggiator lets you play a variety of phrases using just one finger,
and the X50 provides two polyphonic arpeggiators! For example, in Combination
mode you can use the two arpeggiators to play drums and bass while you play
chords and melody, giving you amazing power for live performances. In addition
to five basic preset arpeggio patterns, the X50 also provides an additional 251
patterns containing various phrases. Of course you can also create your own
original patterns and store them in internal memory.
Easy operation for immediate use
Finding the right sound quickly when you have so many to choose from can be
a problem on some systems, but never Korg’s! The X50 organizes its vast
array of sounds into sixteen categories, and provides a Category Select
function that makes it quick and easy to choose the sound you need from the
category you specify. There's also an Audition Riff function that provides
one-touch audition of each sound. Four knobs can be used to quickly adjust
sounds, effects and arp settings, and the ClickPoint cursor makes the X50 a
pleasure to use and play.
Light and compact design for easy portability
The X50 packs professional-quality sounds and a wide range of functions into
an amazingly light and compact body. Even with a 61-note keyboard that gives
you plenty of room to perform, the X50 boasts an ultra-light weight of only 4.5
kg --- about the same as an electric guitar. The compact design ensures that it
can fit into the smallest home studio workspace, and thanks to its cool side
handles the X50 is easy to take along wherever you go.
Cutting-edge connections
In a first for its class, the X50 features individual outputs, allowing
professional setups in which the sounds of specific parts are sent to their own
outputs. This can be very useful in situations such as recording when you may
want to EQ and process each sound separately, and for surround-sound
applications.
The X50 also provides a USB connector that lets you establish MIDI
connections with your computer using a single cable – no interface needed.
A powerful Multi mode give you 16 parts to create music with, with the full
complement of effects and other settings to make complete songs using only the
X50 and your computer. 128 Multis can be saved and recalled, with 16 preloaded
covering many common music styles and genres.
It also comes with editor/librarian software that makes it easy to create
and organize sounds using your computer. Two versions are provided: a
traditional stand-alone application and an innovative plug-in version (VST, AU,
and RTAS formats supported) that can run within your DAW and MIDI sequencing
software. Both versions are colorful, graphic-rich, and provide a wonderful
interface for working with the X50 in all its modes.
