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.
