*please you have to check your inbox through messenger, i was send some thought last a few days*

[@srivatsag2865]

Please i am so confused 😕. Can you say how many sounds are there in this keyboard? Is the keyboard having 360⁰ rotatable pitch bend?

[@elevationmusicgh7147]

I have been a Yamaha player for over 18years. My first time on Korg was last week and I needed this video to get my way out. You saved the day.

[@philiponcale1820]

I've watched a lot of Jeremy's reviews and the Korg EK-50 is the only time I've seen him do an actual tutorial on the functions and use of any specific keyboard. To me that really says a lot. I'm buying this board.

[@thiro59]

I did as well and didn't repent!

[@elaineerskine]

Me too but i cant figure out how to save a setting. Each time I come to play I have to adjust metronome rhythm and tempo. How can I save them? I don’t find the instructions very clear. How do I save my settings, Jeremy See? I asked my AI but it uses terms not in the user manual.

[@alanbramwell7694]

Hi Jeremy. Having recently bought my first keyboard (Korg EK50) i felt the owners manual was not particularly helpful. Your video was fantastic and made understanding a lot clearer. Korg need to get you to write their manuals

[@JeremySee]

Thank you for your kind words Alan.

[@anjandas7793]

Can I save customised sound sets after changing voices combinations & volume?

[@keithfletcher5912]

Totally agree

[@thiro59]

So true mate 👍👍👍

[@swarnendupaul6964]

Thanku sir, i have a korg ek 50in. This video is very much useful to me right now. Because i am a new person to operate this keyboard. And your videos help us and also understand a lot to me . We get a very nice videos to u. Thanku sir. From India /kolkata /Dum Dum /chhatakal 💐🌷👍👌😀

[@JeremySee]

Glad it helped

[@swarnendupaul6964]

Thanku.

[@dengnnj1633]

This is it! This is the video that made me finally decide on which keyboard I'll be buying and oddly enough, it's not this Korg model, but the Korg XE-20. I was teetering between the Casio CDP-S350 and the Casio XP-S3000 because I wanted an 88 key piano with arranger functions that I can stick in a closet when I'm not playing. The Yamaha DGX is too big and to be honest, too expensive considering the competition. But the Korg keyboard preprogrammed sound sets, arranger functions... two intros, four variations, and two endings... along with the additional easy on/easy off sound layering and simple effects editing on this and the XE-20 Korg seem to be way ahead of what the Casios I mentioned can do. Plus I love the fact that I'll be able to load additional Korg styles for free ... even if I don't like some, free is free. Korg wasn't even on my radar until I saw your videos. I used to play in a band for fun years ago. I owned a Korg Poly Six, Korg SP-80S piano, a Korg RK-100 keytar & EX-800 module... all professional level instruments. All I want to do is sit down and play without a whole lot of fussing around, and the XE-20 is the closest thing that checks off all my "boxes". THANK YOU!!!

[@JeremySee]

I'm happy to be of help. Indeed the XE20 is absolutely wonderful when all I want to do is sit down and play. ❤️

[@eiderglast]

Hi Jeremy, I am so grateful for the demo and tutorial for the Korg EK 50... now all I need is the money to purchase this amazing unit.. most probably before Christmas...

[@bhaskarchetia55]

Thank you brother.I have bought this keyboard last week and I am learning to play from your video.

[@roshangulabkiro4887]

Some I knew...but many you made me learn without reading the user... Very useful video for who are using ek 50 in...or L.. Thank you sir...

[@keithmuller223]

Great to see a tutorial posted!!! Korg just can't be bothered with our EK model ..thanks J for taking time out to do this ....it's handy to make a quick headed note on a single sheet as a reminder for the hidden 'shift' button functions ...this board is so simple when you get into it ...so much easier than the PA op.system.. Another handy tip is being able to toggle between two buttons ( one on and one off ) hit the two together and they auto switch on and off . Korg have also placed several sets adjacent which work well together if you notice, so you can simply +/- between some suitable sets on the fly .. Thanks J ...korg owe you one!!! Keith

[@JeremySee]

Thanks for sharing, Keith.

[@doradirrman7829]

Thank you so much. I just received my EK50 and you have made it so easy for me Thank You!!

[@rklogan8821]

One of the best information for any aspiring buyer like me or who already bought. Great stuff. This helps to anyone just jumpin' directly to use it instead of flipping the user manuals and messing it up. So many times good products are become not usable because of the lack of manuals or user guidance. This video solves this issue. Thumbs up!

[@JeremySee]

Thank you for your kind words buddy.

[@djba]

Hi again Jeremy ... I just received my Korg EK50. Prior to it arriving I had watched this video several times so I had a head start when I began to play. Thanks very much.

[@JeremySee]

Have fun!

[@bobbycrawford1563]

Hi Jeremy I just bought the ek 50l great keyboard loving it I like your videos i been watching your video before I got thekorg ek50l

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Thanks so much Jeremy 🙏, you have made my purchase of this amazing keyboard easy and informative 😀. For more than 15 years I've been a Yamaha guy and although I love my MOX8 and it's been a great workhorse keyboard, this new Korg EK-50 is a great addition to my bag of keyboard tricks for my studio. You rock!

[@philarican4865]

I've been playing from my Roland D-20 and XP-10 for a very long time. I've been toying with the idea of getting the EK-50 for the last several days. Your videos based on this keyboard has really helped! I just ordered today. Thanks J-See!

[@JeremySee]

I'm happy to help!

[@Toastaste]

Excellent tutorial, Jeremy! And perfect timing for me - I just picked up my EK-50 Friday. It's my first arranger keyboard after many years of "playing" piano/keyboard. What a different experience! Appreciate all your informative videos. But this one is different. Frankly, this is the tutorial Korg should have made!

[@JeremySee]

I'm happy to be of service, buddy. Have fun!

[@claudiverhoeven6190]

thank you very much,I have big problems with the owners manual,now I beginning to understand the bottems, (I bought the Korg EK for the magic piano , plays almost automatic and very fast)

[@laughhyena240]

i bought the EK-50 two weeks ago(thanks to your reviews on similarly priced products!) and I already figured out half the stuff in this video myself but I was struggling with the rest. your video was all I needed, thank you. one thing missing in this video was information about some of the style buttons, but i guess it is covered in your in Depth features video.

[@oceanwatchesclaudejolly1742]

Hi Jeremy I order just the KE 50 limitless on internet music shop in japan as I’m residing in Japan I paid ¥32,780 including tax around $246 can’t believe it ,I will used with my yamaha psr E473 Thank ‘s again for the review you deserve lot of subscribers

[@petershortsleeves3981]

Hey Jeremy, Based on your reviews and training I purchased a Korg EK-50 and am very happy with it. Thanks so much for your clear and detailed instructions in its use!

[@JeremySee]

I'm happy to share what I know, Peter. Have fun!

[@fotofigures]

Undoubtably Jeremy's tutorials and techniques are so easy to follow. I just bought EK-50 and it's slowly coming together watching this.

[@JeremySee]

Thank you for your kind words, my friend. Have fun! 😊

[@lancelotchambers3874]

Thanks for your work and videos Jeremy. I was so nervous about getting into learning keyboards after 20 years! I have watched a series of your videos and you have made me feel so much better about re-learning music and keyboards again. I agree with some of the other viewers, Kong and Casio should give you the job of writing their Keyboard Manuals and doing the instruction videos!!!👍🏾👍🏾💎💎

[@JeremySee]

Thank you for your kind words, buddy. Unfortunately, Yamaha especially in Asia thinks otherwise. 🥺

[@j_meek8591]

Just got my KORG EK 50 yesterday. It has a great sound for sure. Thank you for the tips!👍🏾

[@JeremySee]

Have fun!

[@alanbramwell7694]

Jeremy, Following on your extremely useful 15 tips for the Korg EK50, may I suggest a video demonstrating your favourite EK 50 registrations. Some of the sounds in the 15 tips demo are stunning.

[@jrl4907]

Hey thanks Jeremy. User manual doesn't make these things very clear. Your video helped a bunch, navigating these goofy buttons.

[@necie668]

Hi Jeremy, thank you for this video, I have not completely explored the other settings on my Korg EK-50 and this tutorial is definitely useful to me.

[@Yestopeace365]

You do amazing reviews! This keyboard really looks like the best combination of quality sounds, features and usability for the price I have seen.

[@JeremySee]

Thanks for the coffee you sent me buddy! I appreciate you.

[@scbarik1243]

Hi Jeremy my heartiest congratulations to you . I have just now purchased a Korg ek 50 seeing your videos, but I don't know about its function.However this video very useful to me. I want more function about the key board especially how to erase the bank and to set up new registration. Thanking you with heartfelt greetings

[@rajujoshiplun]

Thank you very much for this valuable information. Easy to understand and make me for easy operations of function keys. Thank you sir.

[@christinegoulden7940]

Found your tutorial and demo videos at a great time for me, and really helpful. Thanks so much Jeremy. I have only had my EK-50L for a fortnight. These videos have speeded up my learning curve. I have been playing for a while but it is better and a slightly different system to my defunct Roland Bk-5. Thanks again. :)

[@JeremySee]

Have fun Christine!

[@christinegoulden7940]

Thank you Jeremy, I am loving it.

[@ruggeropoggianella5451]

Wow Jeremy it sounds easy with you iam going to get into it it’s on my desk I will okay tomorrow and sit in front and watch your videos I should be okay amen

[@vilma3502]

Thank you Jeremy. You really are one of the best music video teachers.

[@islandtony5009]

This is a fantastic video - thinking of buying one of these, and this is the best way to see if it a good choice for me. Any chance of a video demonstrating using the sequencer to record a simple multi track song?

[@dandilion62]

Please do a video about using the record function and looping

[@kaybhee6]

pls recommend cheepest keyboard that can record multi tracks / overdub/ adding laters,, etc,, as wav file to usb flas or sd

[@ravii257]

Hi Jerome thank you for all your videos. It is very useful. I recently purchased Korg EK 50 based on your suggestions. I love the keyboard. It sounds great . but I am not able to figureout how to choose sounds after sound no 176. Could you please do a video on it or can you reply to this post explaining how to reach all 702 sounds in this keyboard. Thank you

[@paulydpaulyd9746]

The individual sounds reside in the 'Sets' total Sets are 176 and the other individual sounds are in Set Part 2,3 & 4. You have to experiment , turning Set parts on or off. This had me stumped for a while.

[@isaacfriday5099]

One of the best videos I have watched.thank you for this videos

[@thiagosnayderchipanachavez2171]

Amazing video master Jeremy, very clear, very straightforward very fun to watch and a very good learning video for EK50 users. I just bought one and I cannot wait to have it here with me and apply all you teach. My cup of coffee will be there for you.

[@JeremySee]

Thank you buddy. I appreciate your kind words. Have fun!

[@ThePianoJourneyMusic]

Can Full Keyboard Chord Detection feature be used to in styles to change chords of accompaniments?

[@ayaanm7494]

I have been seeing your videos since a long time. I love your videos!!!

[@rchuso]

Holy Shlt. I just bought one of these and didn't know it could do all that. Thanks.

[@AtulKumar-yw3ce]

Dear Geremy Very informative video. Best wishes from India 👍👏

[@Koksknoedel]

Well done - I did not know about 10 of the 15 tips, so thank you very much!

I really like this particular review especially since I am about to convince someone to purchase the Korg EK50

Hi Jeremy, is there anyway I could loop a chord progression on the EK50? Thank you for all the great videos!

[@tomelwich49]

Great job JS!

[@gfogerty54]

Jeremy, a great THANKS for your helpful videos. I am going to buy an EK-50 L soon. Fortunately the Germans are familiar with your language.

[@JeremySee]

Glad to help!

[@TheMg49]

Thank you for your many good videos! I joined your Facebook group (Yamaha PSR and Casio CT-X) recently.

[@patnarciso35]

Hey Jeremy, I took your advice on buying the Korg EK50L. Thank you for making my purchase a lot easier! I own the Roland Fantom s, which is a beautiful instrument, but very intimidating for me. The Korg I am sure will be a lot easier for me in what I want to achieve. Thanks again and you have an excellent channel in which I’ve subscribed too. Keep up the great content. Take care.

Very good and useful tutorial. Thank you.

Hello congratulations on your videos. with this korg can I save only 4 musical customizations, or can I save playlists of an entire repertoire?

[@timjackdaw7995]

HI Jeremy. Thanks for your excellent videos. I was considering a few different keyboards and then I came across one of your videos on the EK50, and I ended up buying one. I'm very pleased with it and I've sent you some coffee money

[@JeremySee]

Thank you for the coffee! Have fun.

[@iescotarnolsdivrawalpindi5572]

Very informative. thanks Jeremy See

[@diamondfb]

Thank you Jeremy. Very helpful.

[@JeremySee]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BibleBeltBlues]

I honestly don't know what I would do if you did not have this video. Can't find any really good training or tutorials on this keyboard that teach you what you teach here. Thanks so much. If you can point me to a resource in addition to your videos that help show how to use this keyboard please share.....thanks,

[@JeremySee]

Unfortunately, arrangers are very much neglected by Korg.

[@geoffreywhalley4265]

Hi Jeremy thanks for your helpful instructional videos but can you please tell owners how to access all of the 700 voices. I have owned the EK 50 since last March but did not know for a long time how to find all the voices. If you press shift and upper 1 at the same time you discover all 20 plus pianos then the same with all the other category instruments. This opens up a whole set of wonderful sounds. I have never heard this technique from any of the demonstrations ..The piano and different saxophone sounds are amazing in my opinion from such an affordable keyboard. Hope this helps..

[@Koksknoedel]

"Hope this helps ..." - Thank you so very much - it did! Greetings from Germany!

[@garethanthony7611]

You absolute diamond, Geoffrey! Jeremy's tutorial was really good and I will check out more of his videos, but your comment just told me what I needed to know. Bought the EK-50L a few weeks ago to replace my Yamaha PSR-290 (which developed an output issue and doesn't have usb). The Korg manuals are rubbish. I thought the user manual was the quick-start guide! Anyway, I'd figured out how to access some more of the organ and e-piano sounds using 'style' but couldn't figure out how to get to all the listed sounds from the "voice names list" booklet I printed off. Your comment helped me do that instantly and now I'm bursting with excitement! I've started playing as a keyboard player in a live band this year (played bass/guitar in bands for some 30 years) and having access to all those cool sounds finally makes me feel like a bona fide keys man!! Thanks again to you and to Jeremy for his well presented videos :)

[@christinegoulden7940]

Thanks for that gem, Geoffrey. I have only had my EK-50L for a fortnight, just what I needed as I am trying to record and pick things out. :)

[@chamroeunrith3382]

Very good 👍🏻

[@firsel]

Is there a way to set attack and release on the sounds? If so, is there a way to save the settings?

[@TinyCreatureHub]

i dont know anything about music but love your video very Pro. 100k subs coming soon another 10 month will meet. Cheer Bro

[@JeremySee]

Thanks bro, hope you let my video run finish hor.. 😉

[@thatlovejones]

Hey, Jeremy, thanks a lot for this, I was having a devil of a time trying to layer sounds on my new EK 50. I read the manual and still didn't get it. Watched your video and in understood what's up before 5 minutes into the video.

[@rogerphilpott757]

I bought an EK-50 three months ago and have just about got to grips with the various settings and functions but this video has still been really helpful, so thanks Jeremy. I had a Technics KN930 a few years ago and this had more foot pedal functions than the EK-50 has (such as making variation changes) and I have asked Korg if they can add some more. They did reply without committing themselves but if more EK-50/EK-50L owners ask for this update perhaps they will do it ( it should be technically possible?)

[@JeremySee]

I miss the great Technics keyboards. A pity it isn't a viable business for them.

[@ayaanm7494]

Hi Jeremy, I am more or less a beginner in piano and am looking for a keyboard with more sequencing tracks and an easy user interface. Should I buy the Korg EK 50 or The Yamaha PSR e463 or should I just go for casio ct x3000? I am planning to buy it within 3 months. Please Help me pice the right one for me..... Please do reply!

[@JimCoia]

Good tips many thanks sir.

[@davidparker2436]

Good evening Jeremy, I have just purchased an EK-50. I haven’t used a keyboard for several years and I really like this one. However I found the user manual to be difficult and sometimes impossible to understand. Maybe a more advanced player than myself would not have a problem. Then I found this video. I think it is extremely good and easy to understand. Many, many thanks.

[@miezahblayerzuah3922]

This video is mad helpful...Thank J

[@heroknaderi]

This Korg is amazing 😉

[@jarmetimbangan5772]

Thank you Mr. Jeremy for your tutorial. But i still wondering if it is posible to create own made accomp style on Korg EK50..?

[@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780]

Hi dear just bought mine going to watch your video thanks as I am going to take time to study and why not I want to know my keyboard by heart

[@csci-e90saifulhasan72]

Hi Jeremy .. can you please show the steps to download styles for this keyboard.

[@isabelleyan]

Hi Jeremy, do you know how I can change the tempo for the drum and percussion tracks to a 3/4 timing vs 4/4?

[@tilenjk02]

Do you have to play whole chord in your lef hand for a backing track to change or not?

[@WillSada]

I can't find the PRS A350 here in the USA. So, do you know what portable 61-key keyboard do you recommend that's best for middle eastern music? Does it have to have an expansion slot/manager? if I buy the PRS e463 how can I get some middle eastern voices into it? and is there a way to assign the imported voices into custom buttons?

[@donaldweil3361]

You answered a lot of questions for me great video.

[@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780]

I guess I have to watch your video in front of my beautiful keyboard i have another question if I put my USB key behind can I download my music I just made on the keyboard thanks 🙏

[@bostjanovamuzika]

Thanx, very useful tips.

[@Revolutionist.582]

Hi Bro Jeremy, to be truely honest, though you have demarked as an Entry Level Keyboard, the Quality and Depth of tones may compete with any Pro Level Keyboard...what I found, Korg never compromises with their Quality... 👍👍👍👌👌👌

[@JeremySee]

Yes, the tones are good, especially with effects.

[@jc4221]

High value - thanks Jeremy. Q: for BANK assignments, can settings be individually named? SETLIST/BANK (A-J)/SETTING (1-4) = 40 saves, which is great but unfriendly. Easier to 'name' them (eg) FAKE TAURUS or (eg) JARRE PIANO or (eg) KASHMIR1, KASHMIR2, KASHMIR3, KASHMIR4, which takes me across one Zepp tune seamlessly etc. Hope the Q is clear. Aside, still looking but this board seems to be so versatile the more I learn. Ciao from Canada.

[@godinez84]

Thank you so much

[@bobtk2352]

Thank you! Very helpful. Question: When playing along with an MP3 track, the MP3 track volume is too loud. How do I cut back the playback volume without affecting the keyboard volume?

[@1csmellon]

Jeremy as always this is very useful information. Thank you for posting. I ended up getting the XE20, and this applies very well. I do have a question ( the manuals do not cover everything), how do you change the effects type on the XE20? The fx level is in settings, but could not find how to select the type of fx. Sorry for posting remedial questions, but could not find anything in Korg docs and you are a power user; thus the question.

[@kumarmanan5188]

Hi Bro... your doing great in all yours reviews and videos. Unbiased and honest is what we hears from you. TQ so much. I was told that EK50 voices/tones/styles are decade old which was inherited from PA50 and if it's true is EK50/EK50L worth buying. Need your opinion on this please. Hope to hear from you asap. TQ again...

[@mrdameacham]

Great video! Just got my Korg yesterday. How can I reset the voices in upper 2 and 3 to the factory’s default that will blend with upper level 1. Thanks!

[@denkarajan8068]

Hi Jeremy! I’m trying to connect a sustain pedal (m audio sp2) to my Korg ek50. And there is a problem - it works only with upper parts (upper 1,2,3), but doesn’t work with lower part in split mode. How can I manage with it? Thank you in advance;)

[@ajithvgeorge]

Jeremy is it possible to get Indian tones and styles . I looked in Korg website but I was unable to find . Can you please guide me in the right direction.

[@islandtony5009]

Are the keys on the EK-50 narrower than usual piano keys like the CTS-1 is? I just measured my P125 and an octave is 165mm; the CTS-1 is 161mm (I think this more so than the weighted keys might be why I always have trouble adjusting back and forth). Was wondering if the Korg would be closer to the P125

[@VadimMyVideos]

Excellent tutorial! Exactly what I needed! THANKS!

[@JeremySee]

Glad it helped!

[@donretsas1791]

Can the sustain pedal be used as an Expression / Rotary speaker Controller ?

[@user-Patrick]

He Jeremy, I have the CT-X5000 and want to play a midi file(I have tried different types) via USB Stick. I have formated the stick with the keyboard and copied the midi file via PC into the MUSICDAT folder. But it does not work. Always the same error "Err No File". Do you have an idea?

[@manojkumar-nh4qq]

How to freeze styles if I change Bank the style is also changed how to solve this problem is there any solution
