Hello,
It is a five-octave keyboard, good enough for a Workstation.
At this price, it allows editing of many parameters and has two parallel sequencers, the connection is complete. I will not repeat the previous opinion, some old and not referring to his new feasibility hence its new name PA-50-SD.
In fact now the support and storage are made on an SD card of 2 billion degrees, sufficient given the size of MIDI files. The effects are many, the sounds, styles can be created and edited, I would say that regardless of the number
already large home and already mentioned, but rather have multiple SD cards, lol. Oriented cosmic sounds, guitars excellent for this range, to listen to the many reproductions on Youtube (JMJarre, Vangelis and others).

UTILIZATION

Is a workstation rather handy with a specific screen that takes some time to master if you do not know the Korg approach. But the French documentation is clear and many Internet sites and forums are dedicated to the AP-50 and SD.
Editing and modification is easy, but it should read.
Note also his fun karaoke function, one can for example with a small soft remove the guide track of a song Van 'Basko, sounds in the Korg MIDI playback is excellent, singing and reading the text on the screen, and why not for those interested to add a guitar or a synthesizer?

OVERALL OPINION

Then I used almost two years and I am satisfied. I hesitated a long time with a Yamaha equivalent, but after listening to the sounds, the Korg is much higher! Even if it looks cheap and fragile it is still less than the quality of sound reproduced dominated.
Yes before I played on an old Roland I say old, but in his day nine, it was a must have completed a DX7.
Pros: everything I need.
The least he has: The keyboard touched illegally, of course even more pronounced as I complete with a Roland Juno Di has a touchdown (and rounded keys) excellent. The look a little cheap or fragile may repel some nomads, but much greater damage because the ISP 550 in sound.
I would do this choice, especially at the current price that is far from relegating obsolete technology, and equivalence.
