KORG EK50 - The keyboard that helps you play

If you’ve ever wanted to play or perform your favorite songs, or thought of a melody that could become an original song, KORG is here to help you realize your musical potential. The KORG EK-50 is an entertainer keyboard that you can enjoy on any musical level, and an instrument that grows along with you.
Automatic accompaniment “Styles” provide an entire backing band you as you play the keyboard.

The EK-50 contains more than 702 realistic sounds. You select and play the sound you need, and you can also use the Split function to divide the keyboard and play different sounds simultaneously.

The middle of the operating panel has a bright, clear display that shows the currently selected sound and Style names in large characters for great visibility.

Powerful 10W x 10W stereo speakers are built into the instrument. They can reproduce not only the sound of the instrument itself, but also sound from an external device that you connect to the input jack.

The EK-50 is open-ended, which allows you to add up to 96 styles via a USB flash drive.

The EK-50 also works with AA batteries (sold separately), so you can play on the go!
