If you’ve ever wanted to play or perform your favorite songs, or thought of a melody that could become an original song, Korg is here to help you realize your musical potential. The Korg EK-50 Entertainer keyboard helps you to enjoy on any musical level, and is an instrument that grows along with you. The automatic accompaniment “Styles” provides an entire backing band as you play the keyboard. From the moment you start playing, the rich accompaniments are created to inspire you to add phrases as they come to mind. As you gain performance skill, you can easily access the more advanced functions to give shape to the ideas of your musical sketch. The EK-50 allows you to add up to 96 styles via a USB flash drive.

Styles Accompaniment Functionality

The keyboard’s onboard Styles cover more than 280 musical genres from around the world, each with four variations ranging from simple to complex, as well as an intro and ending for the beginning and end of the song. You can add variety to your performance by switching these buttons in time with the rhythm. There’s also an “STS” (Single Touch Select) function that automatically selects “recommended” when you switch Styles.

Playback and Recording Functions

You can record your performances on the Korg EK-50 and save them as well. Song mode lets you play back your own original creations, internal demo songs, MP3, or WAV audio data and SMF (Standard MIDI File) data saved on any commercially-available USB flash drive. You’ll also be able to play sounds while these songs play back.
