    I find it hard to understand the lack of public enthusiasm screw screw this keyboard. Today may have to find the new price of a MicroKorg XL, and frankly, it is infinitely x50 better than its little brother.
    Having a large bank pros sounds and a good keyboard master for that price, it's really a good deal. I'd pay 800 at the time, and I was already fantastic qualitprix report.

    An excellent first synth in all!

    First of all it has the sound of KORG TRITON TR and company ...
    Lightweight keyboard in any sense of the term but ultimately strong.
    I put the pads underneath so it does not move on the stand.
    I have a TR76, it is much less platoc but hey what fun for transport.
    I use it in a group of ROCK and I attack with another master keyboard (see below)

    USE

    Not only is it very convenient to use with classified sounds (TR and company)
    direct access bank No. and small favorites (10).
    It was mostly a PC editor that allows you to prepare at home quietly sounds
    very friendly manner.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    And above all he has what MULTI mode which allows to attack with a second master keyboard.
    Then with the editor you can prepare multiple configs with great sounds
    (Layer using the same MIDI channel 2 times or more, attention to the polyphony)
    I even made a MULTI or is master keyboard to a VST (NI B4 or VB3) and is attacked by my master keyboard (which is actually a good old ROLAND D70 or I can change the MIDI channels of volumes 4 faders).
    Super config and I put less than 5 seconds to switch the sound between songs!

    Over 80 effects

    Korg X50Published on 03/05/13 at 16:18
    I have used the Korg X50 many times over the last few years. This board is built very well and is made to take on the road without any issues. There are over 500 programs in it and the arps are very good! Learning to use it and setting it up does not take long but there is a small learning curve if you are use to working with some of Korgs other machines. This one has a little separate process when it comes to choosing and editing sounds.

    UTILIZATION

    The effects are very easy to add and change, they are also very good and there are a lot of them to choose from. There are a total of 384 combination that can be used on this board and some of them are really good layers. The sound…

    UTILIZATION

    The effects are very easy to add and change, they are also very good and there are a lot of them to choose from. There are a total of 384 combination that can be used on this board and some of them are really good layers. The sounds mixed in with some of the effects can give you a whole new sounds, I didn’t expect to get some of the unique sounds that I was getting with the X50 with it being this cheap.

    SOUNDS

    All of the sounds are very good and I recommend trying them out before you make a purchase. These sounds are not for everyone and some people don’t even like this synth at all. I feel like it is a very good synth and in this price range it is a must have. Some of the sounds are not "realistic" at all though.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It is very easy to work with this board in your DAW and with other synths. It has 1 Audio output and no audio inputs. There are a total of 89 effects which is a huge effects section. The pitch bend and mod wheel seem to be made well as long as all 61 semi weighted keys. There really aren’t any bad things to say about this keyboard, it sounds great and has a huge effects section. It is just one of those keyboards that the user will need to try out first because a lot of the sounds may not be appealing to some musicians.

    creativity at its finest

    Korg X50Published on 12/09/12 at 22:48
    This 61 key synth is very small light and portable, it will fit on your desktop or workstation with room to spare. The keys are touch sensitive and fast. You can really work your melodies with this synth because the keys are light and fluid like. Most of the sounds for the Korg X50 come right from the Triton sound engine. Not saying that you should get this over a Triton by any means. But if you like the Triton sounds, then you will love how you will get some of those same sounds in this smaller and more portable synth.

    UTILIZATION

    Using this keyboard is simple because of the interface. Everything that you might want to do or need to do can pretty much be done form the push of one button. Even working with the effects, they are very easy to add and manipulate right from the main interface of the keyboard.

    SOUNDS

    All of the effects are great on this keyboard. The reverbs and chorus are awesome; they will really spark your creativity. You can also use the dual arpeggiator on the X50, and you will also have full control over which direction it moves and the gate and timing of it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The X50 does come with editing software that you can use a plug in, it will connect to your computer via USB and you can use the X50 as a plug in with any DAW you prefer. This synth is affordable, portable and user friends. It comes loaded with high quality fat sounds that you can use as is without having to add anything to them; if you are not a fan of tweaking sounds and presets. I love to tweak sounds just as long as it does not get overwhelming and time consumer because I feel like it interferes with my creative when I have to stop my workflow to completely make a new sound. This keyboard synth will boost your creativity without breaking your budget.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I own this keyboard for about 5 years, the plastic parts are brilliant enough quickly prone to scratches and fingerprints but the whole remains solid.

    Since the decrease of its price, the keyboard is now a very good choice for users moving bcp, 4.3 kg of a keyboard full of music

    and if keyboardists could move to play as easily as a guitarist?

    For sedentary prefer something a little more comfortable. The key remains "plastic" for someone who used me as a real piano. May be appropriate in a home studio while he exsite keyboard better positioned in this sector.

    See doc.

    UTILIZATION

    Keyboard very easy to use, but very boring live to change the sounds. The system matrix of sound banks is not practical at all. The mini joystick is not accurate (or I was not gifted).

    SOUNDS

    For my part, I make the workd and classical music, so the sounds are not too suitable. Remember that it's a Korg, so better suited to modern styles (Hip-hop, RnB, techno). I find it excellent in these styles. Changing the sounds with the four knobs allows cool effects on stage (although I did use that practically repeats).

    I got it for € 300 on eBay (keyboard demo), very good deal.
    Although I do not like the Yamaha, I'd rather be tried by a Yam MMO6 with sounds more "hot" (heu. .. Korg least) especially for acoustic sounds.

    do not ask a synth that costs less than 600 euros to do as one that costs 2000 euros, that's it!

    Korg X50 Synthesizer
    Excellent for those who want to deal mainly with subtle bits mode Combi.Malheureusement, drums and bass parts are still too pronounced and must each be reduced.

    UTILIZATION

    Easy to use, but not limited to a manual pros.
    Problems in the transfer of DUMPS

    SOUNDS

    Wonderful sounds reminiscent of the M1 I had before.
    Too bad that there be no aftertouch.
    In fact, it makes a false Aftertouch thanks to the velocity.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for three months, after neighboring MicroX tried but were too small keyboard.
    Maybe a bit expensive right now.

    SOUNDS

    The sounds come from the TR, TRITON LE and TRITON EXTREME.
    Personally sounds are great especially COMBI D00, Ballad Layer EP.
    Conclusion: Sounds great.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The positive side
    1) It has a great Light weight.
    2) A unique look unlike malnutrition (TR, The Triton).
    3) A reasonable price from 650 to 790euro unlike newts.
    4) Use simplified (sound banks preloaded).

    Negative sides.
    1) The keys are soft.
    2) The two bars for transport that are not necessary.

    Sounds "multi" is impressive, it's true! We fell backwards! on the other hand, get a piano in the GM bank, the DJ is no longer the same song ...
    And not talking about the run in gnrateur sounds, catastrophe, I have a Roland Juno-D CT for less, the selection of stamps are bluffing! The sounds sound larger and the reverb is warm, which is not the case here, hlas ... This confirms my opinion that made Roland is warmer than the Korg rendered less striking trs in the high-end, Triton and other things, is something else, but what I do, this one was enough for me ..

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 5 months, I do not like the screen, too small, and changes in Settings, I talk about it! You sweat great drops of! I love the sounds by multi cons that are really bluffing (Listen to the pianos and violins, not to mention the organ, it looks like the old Hammond, sometimes ... I think is overpriced.

    KORG X50 61-key

    UTILIZATION

    screen too small, too typed electronic music, ideal for beginners who want to make music without knowing how to play. It has an advantage it is very light. This is normal there is nothing in it.

    SOUNDS

    Very bad sound from the rhythm everything. That said, it's useless.

    OVERALL OPINION

    In my opinion it is primarily a commercial hit KORG.
    Certainly one of their worst keyboard to see the worst.
    Unfortunately I was the victim of false advertising since KORG states that it has the sound quality of the triton but it is not. I played a lot of bad korg and unfortunately this experience has made me leave the brand.

    screen too small, too typed electronic music, ideal for beginners who want to make music without knowing how to play. It has an advantage it is very light. This is normal there is nothing in it.

    SOUNDS

    Very bad sound from the rhythm everything. That said, it's useless.

    OVERALL OPINION

    In my opinion it is primarily a commercial hit KORG.
    Certainly one of their worst keyboard to see the worst.
    Unfortunately I was the victim of false advertising since KORG states that it has the sound quality of the triton but it is not. I played a lot of bad korg and unfortunately this experience has made me leave the brand.
