Korg EK-50 CSA Entertainer Keyboard with Latin Styles w/ Adjustable Stand

The EK-50 CSA is packed with 686 instruments, 160 Keyboard Sets and 356 authentic musical Styles that capture the essence of Latin music, developed by a team of highly talented musicians and programmers in Latin America. Many of the Styles in EK-50 CSA have been re-made to take advantage of new and inspiring sounds. New authentic saxophone and brass sounds can be heard in Style categories such as Salsa and Merengue, and specialty sounds such as Quena can be heard in Styles such as Cumbia Andina

This allows EK-50 CSA to create the widest variety of Latin music genres, including Cumbia, Reggaeton, Mariachi, Merengue, Ska, and many more. In addition to the new Latin Styles, EK-50 CSA also includes the wide range of international Styles and Sounds from the original EK-50, allowing you to cover a wide range of music.

EK-50 CSA adds new 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. The EK-50 CSA features a new dark silver color for speaker grilles, adding a fresh new look. Easily see the names of Style categories right on the main panel with updated genre names to support the new Styles that come preloaded!
