« Very satisfying for fans musicos! »
Published on 09/13/10 at 12:30It is a 61-key synth ... Lots of sound banks-ranked (ABCDE GM) and for all styles (in order from the harpsichord sounds very classic electro / techno to rock etc etc) ... Lots of usability ... It's really all that "wants", either for simple beginner / amateur / semi pro / pro! Opportunity to register and / or remember their own presets and tweaking with a simple SD card inserted in the keyboard (not included).
UTILIZATION
I just cast a glance in the large print book for a few questions I asked myself, if the grip is very good and if you like fiddling for hours to find unique features and so, great! (It is also possible not to touch and play directly without changes over a very wide range of different sounds! And that too is great!)
Access to the changes "sounds" is via a small touch screen, which is handy. Otherwise there is still the famous "wheel / caster" Korg (for settings) next to the fans.
SOUNDS
I have no style "precise" music and just what synth is perfect for me because it is very versatile. We can produce audio tapes of rap, and back to his techno / electro / pop / rock / classical / etc in 1 minute.
The sounds are really very very good quality (with an output on good speakers or especially a good-performing big headphone brand insulation).
Some effects and sounds are truly breathtaking, close your eyes you could imagine in the middle of a symphony orchestra in full nightclub, a hard rock concert volume at Fort ...
I also appreciated the fact that there are a variety of different audio kits batteries that can be played by tapping the keys.
For cons, I think Korg really missed his simulations of guitars, because it looks like everything but the sounds of guitars.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it now for 1 year (bought in August 09).
Originally I am a self taught guitarist and I know better than synthetic environment. I had never played or synthesizers or piano and dreamed of having something good for things to start, then I would keep evolving level.
And it perfectly fulfilled Korg M50 all that! Neither too complex nor too easy, say that the novice / pro does what he wants from this synth.
A year later, I would have done exactly the same choice of purchase.
The only black spot is that for a 61-key, its price is around 900-1000 € nine, which seems rather excessive (for (e) (beginning) like me) ... But for its price, quality, for sure!
