All user reviews for the Korg X50

Dj dcrites prcdemment, no need to rpter

USE

The installation went without any problem.
The edition sounds a bit laborious at first glance, but we made it!
The manual is very comprehensive and Business detail each function with precision.

SONORITS

The sounds are dments for this price range. They are hot, many and varied.

Some blame the lack of realism of the piano sound ... That's true for the basic preset, but delving a bit into the banks, may find superb. (D113 Classic Piano, notte)
Excellent transcript of the vlocit and a really pleasant to touch.

NOTICE GLOBAL

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.

SOUNDS

TRITON TR and Sons Company (to prove anything except PIANO retouching too metal)

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!

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 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.

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.

The korg keyboard is a good lightweight for mobile musicians from 61 rating

The connectors are sufficiently provided for connecting a home studio or any table, amp; jack, midi, usb

His editable

Can connect any type of switch pedal, sustain etc. ...

UTILIZATION

Manual clear and large, a bit light for the part and computer music edition sounds noon, but the essential is.

Both sounds bases are very easy to get, as the edition of sounds .... ouch!! absolutely no ergonomic standpoint prefer that the editor pc, and yet ...

SOUNDS

The sounds are varied, the boxes also has rhythm.

You can play any style of music but rather focused as modern funk Rnb Hip hop. The set will never replace a real instrument, but most sounds are realistic suffisement

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.

Synth 61 keys.
4 audio outs, USB port, MIDI in / out, sustain / switch pedal inputs.
Edition of Software included (plugin / standalone) for MAC and PC.

HI Synthesis, 64MB of PCM ROM, 512 sounds, 384 combinations, two polyphonic arpeggiator, 4 FX processors (insert 1x, 2x Master, 1x master EQ)

UTILIZATION

The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
trs simple

The edition sound effects or is it easy?
I do not use many sounds included, I use it more as a MIDI keyboard, but what jen have seen and done it rather easy

The manual is clear and sufficient?
yes

SOUNDS

The sounds they agree your style of music?
yes, everything dpend project: to quiet music plutt not worry, beautiful tablecloths, beautiful synths / lead and beautiful instruments tural simulations such as guitar, piano. ..

The expression is good? (Raction VLOC the aftertouch)?
so no worries on that level the keyboard is sensitive enough.

The effects are they effective and responsive?
I do not use them enough to speak.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
5 years.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Normment not a M-Audio, a microKorg and another I can not remember which one.

How do you report qualitprix?
Honnte.

With the exprience, you do again this choice?
Yes 600 euros at Thomann for now I would do this choice, the quality Korg ...

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).

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 1 year and bought on a whim ...

Selection of sounds horrible.
Otherwise, hundreds of sounds for less than 5kg with 61 keys (no aftertouch).
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.

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.

The X5O is a synth. very easy to understand. In terms of keys, damage that they are like those of TR that are more resistant. The audio out no reviews. it comes with software éyant the ability to model the voice you like. In addition to the USB
you can do many things such as registration with audio editing.
NO SENQENCEUR and samplers. But it does not matter since there is a USB port.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use if you have already touching keyboards. regardless of the TR or Triton Extreme Triton Le. The sounds can be changed and the manual is reserved for the pro. but lovers of synth. RONT does not trouble to master it.
Personally keys TR or Triton Extreme are great unlike X5O.
https://www.dailymotion.com/x50

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.
https://www.dailymotion.com/x50

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.

https://www.dailymotion.com/x50

Synth 5 octave, pitch, modulation, etc ... Audio interface jacks and midi in out thru.
Sounds, yes ... Edition, on the keyboard as on PC, CD ROM sold with the apparatus.
Polyphony tense (remember ..)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is gnrale debilitating in the sense that the screen is small trs and suddenly the letters are small for those who want change or edit a parameter ... Not for the sighted! The manual is clear, yes and no, because if we want to understand everything, skip pages, back, etc ... Not very easy ...

SOUNDS

So the big dbat! I had heard on the internet dmo, which made me buy it .. But guess what: BMD is one thing and coming home, it is another!
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.
No, with exprience, I will not repeat that choice, but hey, for scne, does well even when.

Everything has been said!

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?
Yes it's pretty simple!

- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
No, it's a point that fishing on the unit, plug the publisher is not at all intuitive (you need a big adjustment period to understand the logic korg)

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
...

SOUNDS

- The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?
A rather reserved to the music "unrealistic"

- The effects are they effective and responsive?
Yes but the interface effect is imbitable!

- The expression is good? (Response to velocity, aftertouch to)?
The keyboard is very bad (no relation to my Korg M1, day and night)

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? ..
Electro sounds: good!
Piano, brass ... : Null

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
2 years, I have to sell

- What is so special that you like most and least?
I wanted a general expander but ultimately it's not what I need (it is too oriented electro sound and not at all realistic). If you make music elec, go ahead, if not go your way.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
The price is interesting but since I moved all info for cheaper (and VST plug-ins included with the suite Sonar 8 PE: Dimension Pro, Rapture ...) and then the korg really do not measure up.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Not

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.

5 octave synth with pitch and modulation effects to add potenciometres pedant choose the games atencion e effects memorize before such effect rotary speaker simulation or for organ leslie cab effect choose and store them in a knob on the left while e clear on the record

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration not break any head-to-door hand
edition no-brainer for Triton Series keyboard for KORG accustomed to home
change parameter save e programe

SOUNDS

It is clear to the followers of sounds or call factory presets sound and varied to be one of all the styles we will say a lot but for the techno dance criatif transform a machine sounds with basic effects Sufis

OVERALL OPINION

I buy it to make the scene I already but the other keyboard for transport is a nightmare the X50 weighs under 5 pounds the wonder! I buy aluminum keyboard made of steel for the same sound engine I do not see the advantage of more I bought for 400 euros and I wear it all the wonder is playing a real musical sounds with a 1000 What's not?

Prcdement all is said,
It is nothing less than a KORG TRITON TR,
h yes the loustiques, it uses the HI as TR, etc. The newt ....
So good when I hear "Yeah IS worse than the TRITON" you fall asleep again ^ ^
it is fair to dpourvu squenceur is a key asset, oops workstation that I say ...
also because I hear people say "yuck sounds" .... we do not eat the ingrdients
a gteau sparment is infme, the beh, it's the same ........

CHARACTERISTICS superb for the price ......
But no squenceur <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

UTILIZATION

Manuel clear? blah, it's practice makes perfect, there's no secret that is all ....
small step, yes, it's not for the myopic (SERIES triton) or trisodium hands (OASYS SERIES M3, etc. ^ ^ a touch screen), I admit.
Not empty at beginners, but it is after a while, not dramatize
Sculpture sounds not bad at all for this keyboard has good low price =)

SOUNDS

Haaa effects, it's really not bad, there's really going on time,
edit sounds, etc., but be patient if you know ....... whouaa ....
Only B mol, the piano can be a little too "mtalliques," but I love xD
Sounds SF, miaaaam!, And frquence wave is quite large, the cutoff is therefore qulit <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />
such as TR <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />

OVERALL OPINION

about 1 year, and I use a Korg Tr 61 and an M1 ........ in scne and beh, complte everything is all =)
the X50 and TR are the same quasiement so Intrets to have both? hh we change a winning team, especially the budget at this, do not RVer <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />
I tried the Karma, but the is 900-1000 new, make a purchase why not, but it is worth considering that the x50 is seeking a 320 ^ ^ Used
Buy a Korg TR if you have the opportunity, if not excellent to begin synthtiseur or keyboard activity, master sculptor of sound =)

synth complete without sequencer

UTILIZATION

Synth apparently very comprehensive, but I lack the patience to edit sounds. it's anti-ergonomic as possible.
far too complicated for me
a number of general settings (velocity response, depending on the pedal) are deleted at shutdown.

SOUNDS

sounds very different, but the fundamentals are missed (piano, electric piano)
the reaction velocity on the piano is very bad, we move to a muffled sound very percussive sound without qualification.

OVERALL OPINION

I need a synth with a number of requirements:
- Light
- Cheap
- His piano priority over other
- Make a sound to another with a pedal
- No break between the changes in its

For lightness and compactness can not do better. for the price, it is one of the most affordable synths.
In contrast, the piano sound is really bad, I use it on stage, however, it goes well in a rock band but solo or in quiet passages, it's awful.
compared to a Roland Juno D (in the same price range) it does not break the transition from one sound to another (by pressing a foot switch) which is essential in a piece with more sounds.

The X50, a little synth korg which may seem a little toy that&#39;s true ... Still gonna do two years that I lug around here and there, as I bang around, it stays on for days non-stop, he fell, he suffered the cold moisture and other nuisance when I was not isolated from my rehearsal room &#39;. In short a little under his beefy look of plastic ... Ah, if for a time there was a kind of problem "tuning" it sounded wrong ... it was found that the AC transformer that I had changed and it is returned ...

The touch really sucks ... not too much fun on that side, it&#39;s true. Well it&#39;s not bad for doing solos, or PTIS jerky stuff we need for speed ... We made it ...

Good features you know ...

I think he has a good face! it changes a little ...

His weight is wonderful ... I have tears every time I carry my Alesis Fusion 8HD ... When we have to carry lots of synths, it really REALLY happy to get to him! This also allows me to carry around ...

The handles on the sides may seem unnecessary, yet I think if I remove them tomorrow, I miss her ... It not realize how it can be used in my opinion!

I put it on one foot (home made) for it to be considered is the weight I think the form and all kind of ideal keyboard for that ...


UTILIZATION

Fluent use it day and night. Either it&#39;s super simple, we will search for you put it in his favorites, play, or you want to edit and we wonder if hanging himself would not save time ... must return it, it&#39;s anti-ergonomic as possible ... I guess he must do it.

Well once you master it&#39;s cool. But should spend a little time ... damage m&#39;enfin at this price it takes many faults

The manual? Blurp ... ...

SOUNDS

So me I play in a rock band heavy melodic electro-symphonic synth and this is just terrible and is perfect for my style of music!
The reaction to velocity is quite strange is ca fart at once, or it&#39;s low ... a playing position to adopt ... but one side is cool, it&#39;s hyper alive!

The sounds are not realistic at all, I think that that is the purpose ... The pianos are to cry (of sadness), the electric pianos are cool; organs ... I know I&#39;m not too organ (that is what a synth organ too? bah yeah, I think it&#39;s old and it sucks most of the time!) ... if I had to make but I think they fit me ...
Orhcestres sounds are half bad and half-EXCELLENT! There are some that sound a little squeaker &#39;of which are fun, others that sound Lord of the Rings ... it fucks chills and it thinks it&#39;s a conductor! Tamper them a bit, and you will fly contracts Hans Zimmer!
Solo violin sounds ... bof ... some good stuff, but it is not super Natural AX-Synth!

The synth sounds: bah it rocks! It sounds modern, electro, it&#39;s powerful, rich fat, acid, whatever you want ... paste their effects and a Kaoss Pad in the ass and you take full head! frankly with cool cool! The tablecloths are exhilarating and it seems we can do hi to Richard Wright just playing ... one flat, one flat ...
drum sounds, I always thought it was useless ... they expect us to do a drum solo on the synthesizer? Let them know who&#39;s ringing!

The rest of the sound is good overall!

OVERALL OPINION


I use it for almost two years, and I&#39;m tired. I end not to go around ... Sometimes I feel like I know everything and I found a sound that a blast for an hour! With Kaoss Pad is fun to do loops, piece electro, trip hop, it distorts everything, playing with the knobs, and we take a genius ... This is the synth that I learned a lot about ... just the synths!
I have with him a PSR-S900, and I turned for a moment and with the marriage of the two was just amazing! Pour le piano acoustic sounds, ESP, and the BANGING ears, the solos, the stuff that fart, fun and fair, X50 ... I bought myself a subsequent Alesis Fusion 8HD for mixing the two and I am a little disappointed ... it does not sound Korg&#39;s pretty cold, lifeless, no fishing, compared to the other ... who knows me or not make it sound ^ ^ ... and people criticize Korg beautiful, I think it&#39;s a brand that does what she can do ... machines for the young! : P
I also have a Roland AX and I love playing it ... but the sounds are way too spoiled!
For a machine that calls itself specializing in solo synth sounds, the Korg outperforms my taste! The inside of the mouth of a Korg AX-Synth ... I have chills!
Definitely my favorite synth ones I have!

Value for money in New ... Unbeatable!! On occasion, I imagine that another machine korg is the same price as well
