KORG EK-50 CSA 61-Key Arranger Keyboard

Description

The Korg EK-50 CSA Arranger Keyboard features inspiring styles and sounds focused on popular music in Latin America. The EK-50 CSA builds on the success of the original EK-50 by adding authentic Latin Styles ranging from Modern Latin Dance, Mariachi and Banda to Salsa, Cumbia and more. The 61-key EK-50 CSA is simple to use and allows your musical ideas to evolve effortlessly into complete, ready-to-play songs, with auto-musical accompaniment that follows your chord changes. Styles provide an entire backing band as you play the keyboard, and high-quality sounds inspire you to add phrases as they come to mind.

The EK-50 CSA adds sounds including trumpets, saxophones, brass, guitar, bass and even specialty instruments such as Sampoña and Charango. With a total of 39 custom drum kits and a complete MIDI GM2 sound set, the EK-50 CSA is a capable instrument no matter where your music takes you. Calling up any of the 160 factory Keyboard Sets allows up to four sounds to be played at once: three layered across the upper keys, and one split to the lower keys. While Sound Sets are played in real time by the user, the 356 Styles contain various pre-programmed drum, percussion and accompaniment parts to elevate your performance into a full sounding musical production with a band that follows the chord changes you play. A high-fidelity PCM sound engine and two stereo effects processors make the EK-50 CSA capable of creating expressive music with motion and depth. There is also a convenient Grand Piano button located on the main panel, which means you can instantly recall a beautiful acoustic piano sound at any time. Simply put, the EK-50 CSA is an Arranger Keyboard with Latin flare that you can enjoy on any musical level.
