Published on 02/23/12 at 22:03The Yamaha Electone ME-50 is a dual keyboard organ that is cased in a huge unit and also has bass foot pedals. The organ has a volume pedal and each keyboard has about three and half octaves of keys while the bass pedals has the standard octave. The organ has full polyphony and has a built in speaker.
UTILIZATION
Since there is so much going on with the ME-50 , it did take me a little while of practice to understand what everything does on this organ. There is endless tone control available and all sorts of effects at your disposal to insure that you will have total control over your sound. Everything is laid out conveniently and because of this is helps you to figure out what everything does because if it wasn't smartly done it would be a mess. I've never seen the manual for the ME-50 , but if you can get one or already have one it is definitely a good idea to have it around because there are a lot of ins and outs to this organ.
SOUNDS
The tones that are possible with the ME-50 are quite diverse and varied and at the same time still share a common factor that make this organ what it is. It is possible to get all sorts of organ sounds including traditional sounds and some not so traditional ones. It is also great for getting some really quirky and almost circus like organ and keyboard sounds that are really interesting and fun to play around with. Even though some of the sounds are a little too out there for my taste, for the most part this is a really cool sounding organ.
OVERALL OPINION
They are somewhat hard to find now since they are no longer being made, but if you are seriously seeking for one you can find one at a reasonable price. The hardest part is finding a way to move this thing as it is extremely big and heavy!
