I got this keyboard a couple weeks ago. Love it so far. The keys take a bit to get used to because of the plastic feel but I'm used to it already. Great sound.
I really love the piece starting from 1:02, really awesome.
Wow what a great demo!

like ! Very good job, Mr. Rich Formidoni !
Thank you very much!
I have the Hammond sk1 ... I'm impressed with this KORG M50 & THE TARGET for this board was ALL AROUND ... studio concert or home ... Korg did it again like the m3 but people over looked it WoW .. get one and reaaally save..
Great sounds
I have the same keyboard too it’s very powerful 👍😎
I enjoy Rich's demo's. All of the Korg people are professional and really know their stuff. And no I don't work for them :)
@kraftmusic Thanks!! I'll checkout some of ur bundle on the korg m3!!!!
Nice!!!
@Cyberman86 you'll have to use the SW1 and SW2 for this... some of the sounds have the octave up and down already set up for these switches but if not you can always edit the function of the keys yourself. Refer to the manual for more info...
@danielthecoolmachine I have played both versions of the M50 before I purchased it. Since the 61 and 73 key are the same feel I will tell you that the keys are not flimsy at all. They do not feel like they are gonna break. Most major keys on an electric keyboard feel this way. Granted they do feel allot smoother than some that I have played and are full size like a regular piano. But I purchased the 88 key since I wanted a real piano feel to it. Solid heavy weighted keys.
yep u can create ur own arp pattern. U have 2 arpeggiators and u can trigger a switch pedal to turn them on/off or switch combis. You can copy the selected comby to the seq but you cant play in the combination mode with seq turned on.
You can create your performance also and cue them up and put them together. so you can play our own sounds while the seq is backtracking but dont forget its a seq not a sampler (i would prefer and inbuilt sampler haha)
sir please show me how to set organ patches so that its volume will respond to velocity,,thanx a lot
Yes, the 61-Key version is $1099. The M50 is one of the best values in workstation keyboards available today. I use an M5061 in my recording studio and I think it sounds fantastic. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Hi Dave
Is I can Perform Indian Rhythm I mean Indian Styles in M50 ?
Plz reply me bcz I am so tired to ask people but didn’t find any good answer
Thanks
I recently purchased a used Korg M50-61with no power cord. I purchased a universal powercord., none of the plugs fit. Is there a special plug needed? Thanks
hi, i need one please, that pedal expression is better for my korg m50, thank
Can you import your own sound for example if I have a real trumpet sound is it possible to import to the korg m50?
Hi, I use a Damper Pedal with my Korg M50. Could you tell me if I can use a Half Damper Pedal or something like an Expression Pedal? Let me know.
hi ...loved your review.i am planning to buy a new keyboard.i have shortlisted the yamaha psr s710 and the korg m50.i just love the guitars of the s710.havent got to hear the korg guitar sounds yet though,can u tell me which one i should go for/i already have a yamaha psr e403.
Mr McCullough, could you please tell me, if it's possible to import sounds from this m50 into my DAW (Logic) as a midi file in order for me to have better flexibility while editing and manipulating them? It's more complicated for me to edit audio files.
Thanks in advance!
hi rich can you show how to split programs on korg m50
In korg m50 u get plus: sequencer, better sound engine, more handy user interface, 73/88 keys, no modwheels ^^ (i hate modwheels), memory kard reader, chord triggers, better configuring for the realtime control pots
in xd50: u get 2 (L/R) individual outputs, no 73 nor 88 keys edition (as far as i know),
Also it depends on what u want to achieve. I have a korg m50 and also the x50. (ive started with the x50)
Can you load your own styel and sounds like you can do on m3 or pa 800?
HELP NEEDED!! my M50 touch "manu" at the conner of the screen refused to showup even i keep pressing it...any solution?TYVM
Hello - can anyone help me with some sequencing questions I have for the M50? I've posted on the forum but have not gotten an answer. I need to know how to send program changes to external synth modules from the M50. Any help is greatly appreciated. I know that this is an old synth replaced by the Krome but I still love the M50.....
I currently own a Roland Juno G and looking at swapping for the M50 as was impressed with the sound. I want something that is ideal for pick up and perform. Is it possible to create your own arpegiator riffs and switch between combis to add variation/fills to a song? Is it also possible to play in combi a and sequence mode at the same time - this is something that the Juno G does well i.e. I can create a 16 part performance and play some sounds with sequencer playing some of the sounds. Thanks.
Hi Rich and thanks for the nice demo!
I am thinking of purchasing one, but I wanted to ask:
Who do you think the target market was for this keyboard? The professional studio musician, the professional gigging musician? Who/Where did Korg design this keyboard to be used for mostly?
Thanks,

Like most professional workstation keyboards, the M50 does not feature on-board speakers. You can use the 1/4 inch line outs to connect the M50 to any keyboard amp, monitor speaker, or PA system. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Does this keyboard has sampling capacities? I mean to make a patch from a wav file or something like that
All you have to do is connect the MIDI out of your 88 note keyboard to the MIDI in of the M50. You can then play programs or combinations from the 88 note keyboard. You could also assign MIDI channels and play a piano sound from the controller and a different sound from the M50 keys. Thanks for your interest. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

If the Krome is an better version then the M50, does it mean you can use Karma M50 software for it?.
hey Rich, i just got my korg m50, so im new to it....and i want to know where you got that voice from at 1.11, it sounds soo amazing, please reply!!
does this work for advancing combinations aswell?
Does anybody know how to change Octaves in the piano ? i want to play a little more to the left and have more space in the right.
When selecting combis from the editor vst, they don't sound the same as when played directly from the m50 without the editor. They don't sound as full, like some layers are missing. Amyone experience this?
hey! what kinda piano tones are u using? dey sound amazing can u temme the locations of it! TY! 1:44
I've got a M50 since yesterday. I've also got a old 88 key weighted keyboard with bad piano sounds. I wanted to use the piano sound of my M50 thru MIDI connexion, from my old keyboard. And at the same time play programms on the M50. Is this possible in Programm mode ? Do i have to do that in Combi mode ?
I'm considering the Yamaha MOX or Korg M50-73. The problem is that I can't decide on which one would be best because I don't live near any music stores and can't try them out side-by-side.
The MOX seems to have a lot of helpful performance / composition / recording features that might make it a better deal for my music, which is solo original one-man-rock-band so built in accompaniment and performances along with ease of use in making up a song are very useful to me. The M50?
Thoughts?
The preferred connection method for an M50 would be using the USB port on the back of the instrument. This will allow you to send MIDI data between the M50 and your computer. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

@kraftmusic if I wanted to hook up my m50 to my pc to use with pro tools or reason, what's the most common interface people use? FireWire?
My Keyboardist uses a M50 and it does great. He does not know how to quickly recall his songs in the sequence mode and wastes time in between songs endlessly scrolling through his lists of sequences on the small screen. Please help
Does it have a real time sequencer?
hi there i got an old pa 60 does the m50 does similar auto bass drums and different things like bossa swing latin thanks
hey rich where is that voice on korg at 1.11? it sounds amazing please replyy
@itscheezy4u I think that's a roland feature that you can do with d-beam.. not sure about korgs though.
It depends of if you're a piano player or not. If you are accostomed to a real piano, then you'll want the 88 key weighted version. If not, then the 61 or 73 key version should be fine. Thanks for watching!

Im on the fence about this one. It seems like a great keyboard and the price point is nice, but on the other side it seems like there is a lot of extra features in the M3 that make it worth the entry fee
...is ther any pedal which can help me to change patches while performing live wid this...?
can the m50 split in two sounds r more and change the octave of each sound????????????need for a live band i only going to use one keyboard for now until i can buy two. so i need to be ably to play two split! eg piano on the left and organ on the right!!!!! thank look reply!!!!!
what are that strings on 5:15
The M50 61-key and 73-key feature a synth-type action. It's a lightweight action like an organ, and feels really solid. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Is it possible to take a midi file from Guitar Pro and load it on the M50? All I want to do is take a drum file from guitar pro and put it on the M50 so the drums sound as real as possible but I want to know if it's possible.
Does the M50 have a "traditional" arpeggiator (Up, Down, Up/Down, Random). I checked out the M3 and could not find it. I'd prefer an old school arpeggiator to Karma any day.
Can I play styles in tha m 50
how many slots for patches (or banks, whatever) does this keyboard have please? thanks :]
The M50 version with heavy piano keys is almost twice as expensive. Which one should I go for? I know it's of personal preference, but are real piano keys of extreme necessity for this spcific synth instrument? What's your opinion of this?
The second song.... What combi did you use?? or did you arrange it?? if so ... what .. programs (instruments) ???? Thankyou...
Does anybody know if its Possible to write like notes or lyrics, like for example I want to be able to read the Chords of a Song in the Screen of the m50, is it possible?
Just Chords like C. G, F. Not Sheet Music.
i really want a M50 but its to pricey for me. what are the main features im missing if i get a X50?
There is no such thing like octave up/down buttons on M50. The buttons you are referring to are the switch 1 and 2 buttons. An sometimes one of them are basicly triggered for octave transponing.
You can transpone the selected program (eg.: some kind of piano sound) in M50 or u can trigger some kind of transponation to the switch buttons.
Or you can split your keyboard with the same program and transpone the splits differently and trigger the buttons for transponing back the keys to standard.
The Korg M50 does not include any sampling capability. You'd need to look at the M3 workstation or the Korg microSAMPLER. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

need help with my m50. Any help is greatly appreciated. In COMBI mode, the A bank was accidentally copied over to bank D. So instead of bank D having user bank it has the
exact same sounds or COMBI's. Any fix to restore bank d to user banks?????
Factory reset.
@B144T That is the first Combi in the Orchestral combi, called "The Orchestra." Try playing different area of the keys with different velocities!
@B144T yeahhh....itś there- Combi - Orchestras - The orchestra............
Minute 0:43 to 1:01
synthwave.
Leonardo Comerci rich is now working at casio.. no more korgs😅😅😅
kinda steely dan sounding
How much is the 61 keys?
Even though this item is discontinued, is the OS powering the "Touch View" display anything similar to the Korg Krome? If not, whats the difference? Thanks for the video, hope you respond.
@Enigma4072
Thanks! I've corrected this info in the description.

does he write the songs himself? cause 1:00 was epic
Hi,
The octave up/down buttons should be near the controller joystick. See your owner's manual for more details. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

those circle buttons *arpeggio* are kinda cheap, 2 of them kinda sunk down on my keyboard... :( I am sad. great key board anyway
Tighten the screws on the front of the panel... it will pull the circuit board closer to the metal and fix your issue
this guy is now on casio
M3
How do you program the M50 that the pitch stick will not effect the notes held by the pedal and bend only the notes held by the fingers like how Rudess did here: czcams.com/video/K0lWK76NHrs/video.html at 39:35 Thanks!
A lot, x50 it's really limited compared to m50 like the sounds and the limited effect selection that you can put (i have one) my honest advice to you is that you continue to save money and buy a M50... that's what I'm doing haha
I have never owned a workstation of my own and i have been useing those light yamaha keyboard for a long while now .But i'm thinking of getting one of those professional workstation i'm have a hard time decideing which one is right for me. I am a young creator of riddim,play for worship teams and band, also looling to open a small studio. I most say i love both YAMAHA and KORG , the m3 and the xs are both what i'm think of buy one them . Can any tell me which is best for me my buget USD$2000
Rich could probably sell a fork to a guy who needs a soup spoon...
Hi Nick,
I personally own an M50 (61 key) and I think the sound quality is far superior to the MO6. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

I'm a huge fan of Korg sound quality and user interface. For $1899 you can get yourself a Korg M361 and you'll be all set. The 61 key version of the Motif (XF6) is about $2399. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.
