KORG EK-50 vs EK-50 L - Which One is a Better Buy?

Is the Korg EK-50L launched at NAMM 2020 last month worth an extra $150 over the Korg EK-50? Of should you go for the Korg i3 workstation for a little more money?

Thank you for being so thorough with your videos.

[@anthgee296]

Thank you Jeremy great reviews, I have watched many of the brand comparisons around this price range and ordered the EK50. I did just find out about this new EK50L but I won't cry too much after this demo. 👍🎶🎹

Truly a million-dollar review! Your PA50&MA comment made me lol, and the situation kinda seems to prove how mature and time-tested the assets inherited from these ancestors are.

[@LeAnhDungOfficial]

Thank you

[@saomaisaobang]

Thanks pro

[@renerenatorivera9062]

I was just about ready to order a Casio ct x300, but will hold off a bit for the Korg EK50. Ek50L doesn't move me.

[@hcb3636]

Would be great if the keybed on I3 were as playable as EK's, but the different look makes me skeptical

[@sonnyhernandez9782]

Thanks Jeremy...I bought already that ek50...and playing now this excellent keyboard...not this L...thanks for your review....it helped me to choose one...

[@JeremySee]

Have fun buddy!

[@donholtonmusicartist337]

I bought the Korg EK50 L . in a few days I'll be gigging again. My PA 80 was stolen last year

[@andisantoso4155]

and what about the output sound quality compare the old pa 80 ?

[@trademain1278]

Please review the Williams line of 88 keyboards for the first time beginner. Also as a piano teacher what are your thoughts on keyboards that light up with the notes? Thank you, Gary

[@jerinthomas2685]

Dear can u make an overall comparison video of korg Ek50 and roland Ex30.. plz..

[@josefbalog1394]

Can u do a short video how to record with the 12 track recorder please???

[@crcc23]

Great comparison! I'm curious about the i3 and specially the ex20 . Those 88 weighted keys make the difference for piano players.

[@carriesaundersson]

Ex20? You mean the XE20?

[@camping_and_roadtrips]

Hi, excellent review except!, can the Korg EK50L change an individual voice of an SMF? for example, I load a midi file but i want to change the piano from an electric piano to a grand, and then save the midi file with the new voice? is this possible?

[@praneethkumarsajulu7675]

Hello Jeremy . Need some information regarding the differences between korg PA 600 and PA 700. Also if paying that extra amount for pa 700 is worth .

[@kaisiigeorge8958]

Hai jeremy....Which Korg series keyboard is the best according to you ....I have planned to purchase..pls guide....thanking you...

[@dannyborto2630]

Does the EK50L also lose low-end bass response when playing at high volume like how the standard EK50 does?

[@realstreetuk]

Hi Jeremy what would you choose roland ek50 or casio cts500? Thanks

[@nonygarg1082]

[@deepakkumar-bq5bp]

Hi, Which one better to buy Yamaha psr sx600 or Korg Ek -50 L. Please help Thanks

[@mancar15]

Hey Jeremy! What about the Korg EK-50 CSA ? is it worth it compare to EK-50 ?

[@plus.9.1.10]

Hey , how do you quickly change the tones on ek50. In micro arranger you have the buttons next to the screen to select a different tone.can you explain?

[@eiderglast]

Thanks for the review , sticking my guns on the korg ek 50, as I cannot afford that extra 100 USD...

[@OttosTheName]

In the EU it's a €224 difference (58%), the EK-50L is closer to a workstation like the Kross 2 or Juno DS than it is to the original EK-50 pricewise. Kinda crazy.

[@swadhinpattanaik1670]

Hi Jeremy... I have just started learning piano on basic Yamaha $100 keyboard. Now that I am a little comfortable playing songs I would like to buy a keyboard that can allow me to change prelude and interludes in the middle of song with press of a single button. I see some of the high range professional workstations provide 16 instruments feed to preset. Does this EK50/L comes with similar settings? I don’t want to spend 1000s of $ to buy one since I am not there yet and might take 2-3 yrs to play at 16x speed 😊. Also does this comes with Indian instruments? Sorry about this long questionnaire. Looking forward to your expert guidance. Thanks, Swadhin

[@danceon6927]

Please tell which one is better ctx 800 or psr e363 if we remove pitch bender from the ctx800

[@DCRABZSTUDIOS]

Does the Korg EK50L feature a style creator ?

[@sharongm6937]

Is it's sound louder than pa series keyboards? Also which sound will be clearer.. pa 300 or ek50L?

[@danceon6927]

Jeremy please tell how many accompaniment rhythms do we get with ctx800

[@Aaron27701]

Hi Jeremy, can this EK50L connect via midi through PC?

[@deepkasta4432]

i am thinking of buying ek 50...but is there any cheaper option with both modulation and bitch bend wheels or stick...not going just for a midi keyboard

[@WayneGerald1776]

$399 must have been an introductory price for the EK-50, as it's being sold now for $549 at the links provided. The EK-50L is just $100 more.

[@jevmicz]

Hi, Jeremy: Thank you for your great videos and wonderful advice. I decided on purchasing the EK-50L, based on the info provided on an email from Korg support stating that "the Korg software bundle does not come with the standard EK50.". For me the included software was the tipping point between the EK-50 vs EK-50L. I wonder if i didn't really needed the EK-50L to get the bundle. Keep up the great work, your channel rocks!!!

[@sartajbhullar3782]

what software bundle ?

[@jevmicz]

@@sartajbhullar3782 Korg Software Bundle - Because I'm not a very good musician, I'm interested on playing around with Reason Lite, Ozone Elements, Strum Session. Otherwise, the EK-50 would have been my choice. www.korg-license-center.com/index.php?hl=en

[@sk08128]

What is the difference between the two and EK-50 IN

[@phenthohn7303]

Does Korg EK 50 Or Korg EK 50 L has USB Audio Interface, meaning it can play songs if connected to a PC through USB?

[@Boucipmocanu]

👌👌👌👌👌

[@ChristianCarpesoChannel]

Just bought an EK-50 L! You're channel really helped me to make a decision on which one to buy. But for my daughter I ordered the Yamaha PSR E463 😂

[@JeremySee]

Great choices! Have fun. 👍

[@oceanwatchesclaudejolly1742]

Hi Jeremy I purchased the Yamaha psr e473 really nice keyboard great sound as I’play live in restaurants I will like to purchase another one as I play stand up I just bought an extension to add 2 keyboards I’m hesitating to purchase the Yamaha psr SX 600 or the korgEK50 Witch sounds and rhythm are better ? On your opinion thanks again Jeremy i have my channel ocean watches on KZbin I add my compositions and doing watches reviews during the corona pandemic but now I’m so busy to play no time to do watches reviews I guess you loves watches , I subscribed your channel I love your reviews I reside in Japan if you come pls let me know you will be my guest take care

[@jobinjohn5941]

pls do tell the difference between Korg ek 50L and ek 50 IN

[@bryangl1]

Another interesting review Jeremy. I'm just intruding because of my interests in speaker system design (as you've heard at other times). There's no inherent difficulty in re-engineering a speaker to obtain greater efficiency (more powerful sound), but it's impossible to achieve good, extended, powerful bass without going to heavy speaker magnets, and a solid and weighty enclosure that's impossible in a keyboard console (at least without becoming impractically heavy and probably inconveniently bulky). This explains the problem you found with the bass end at high volumes. Yamaha get around the issue in keyboards like the PSR-SX900 (OK, an entirely different market) by having reduced lower bass at higher volumes, although as one comment mentions, for higher volumes, you really need external speakers (powered or whatever). It's possible (but I'm guessing) Yamaha might achieve warmth in the bass at lower volumes by employing 'loudness circuitry' (starting with a frequency response curve which the speakers can handle essentially at full volume, but boosts bass at quieter volumes for a satisfying sound - without going into boring detail [which I've probably done anyway!]).

[@JeremySee]

Wow Bryan! Your expertise & knowledge never fails to amaze me. Thank you for sharing and educating us. I sincerely appreciate it. Have a great day buddy.

[@user-oq2vl2ip3g]

Hi, great reviews! I have a question, can korg i3 replace every function of ek50 except the speaker? Thanks

[@JeremySee]

Yes

[@user-oq2vl2ip3g]

Jeremy See thanks a lot

[@lijomathew7407]

Yamaha px600 or Korg ek 50 ???

[@R1NAU]

I would buy a limited edition, but in our country it is not for sale!

[@user-Patrick]

Thanks Jeremy, so the EK-50L does not make sense, also here in Germany(599€). So I want to buy a new Keyboard, 10 years ago I played Keyboard on an old Casio keyboard :-). So here in Germany I have 3 favorites for me: Korg EK-50(300€), Casio CT-X5000(370€) or Korg i3(570€). So what do you think? What is the best also related to the price?

[@gustavgans6013]

Servus Patrick. I just bought last week the EK-50. If you are willing to spend a little bit more money, I recommend to buy the Casio CT-X5000. Casio has much more Styles Especially Modern Styles and more Instruments resp. more Instrument variations. In Germany we say "Die Sounds des EK-50 klingen etwas altbacken" :-) For Fairness I have to say I bought it for 280 Euros incl. Shipping and I am a Beginner. For that price it is quite ok. But I miss the modern stiles. Even the Yamaha PSRe 463 which is older than the Korg EK-50, has better/more modern Styles the EK-50. Even the Build Quality is not really outstanding. It is not the expected Kork-Quality. It is ok, but that’s it. And the Plastic is also ok, but not superior quality. My sisters old Yamaha PSR 200 is really well build. Good Plastic Quality in comparison to the EK-50. What I really like on the EK-50 is the Key Bed. The keys feel really good and the pressure point is really well made. I like this. I also like the easy operating and the knobs of the EK-50. You can instantly start playing and choose the different layers or Styles or whatever. That was my focus and why I choose the EK 50. And it works pretty fine with my DAW (Samplitude Music Studio 2019). I was close to buy the Yamaha PSRe 463 but the Yamaha has no Modulation wheel. Korg has this nice Joystick which has the Modulation and Pitch Function. Whatever, the Casio CT-X5000 don't have to hide behind the Korg EK-50. With the Casio you will get more features for your money and I think it is worth it.

[@JeremySee]

Hey Patrick, for straight plug & play, this is best. geni.us/KorgEK50 However, this gives a lot of value for money, if you are willing to spend the time to dissect it. geni.us/KYvxdcS

[@nafets6707]

Hi Jeremy! Have a question for you. which is the better keyboard? Korg ek-50 Or Yamaha psr-373 Wondering which keyboard to buy? hard choice.

[@JeremySee]

Totally different classes.

[@nafets6707]

@@JeremySee Okay. Thank you for responding so quickly 👍 Guess korg ek-50 is the better one. But I've seen your videos with the new Yamaha psr 373 and you seem impressed with it. so I got the feeling it was better 😁. the price between them is not much either.

[@tihinen02]

The Ek-50 series main problem due to users in Korg forum and other fora is Hanging Notes.Jeremy, do u have heard this yourself?

[@JeremySee]

I have not encountered this issue with the EK-50L on the latest firmware.

[@Collin2377]

I wish the light was white or blue. The orange looks very cheap.

[@danceon6927]

Please tell which on should buy ctx800 or psr e363

[@valerimarkozov1458]

you must try the keys - its individual, they are totaly different in this models. I prefferd Casio. CT-X800 have an AiX processor and its awesome. But if you want a good and loud speakers (if you dont want to use an extendet audio systems) you must watch at CT-X3000/5000. CT-X3000 can work on batteries.

[@vincentgomes6945]

Does the korg Ek 50 L has indian tones & rhythms

[@halimznl]

Go & order the Casio CTX-9000IN, Bro. Buy direct from Casio Agent in your country. Cheap & very good product with plenty of Indian Sounds & Rhythms. Powerful 15Watts + 15Watts stereo sound system! It's a dream come true.

[@silgrimmarak8699]

The prices of pa 300 is around 599-799 dollar or more or less depending on where you live. I dont know how you found pa300 with 929 dollar

[@goodsound4756]

Now we need a comparison Korg i3 vs. Korg Kross 2

[@keithmuller223]

Improved audio ????? Perhaps had they have changed the sound direction ... As Yamaha have introduced on the SX ...then ok... But they are still player/monitor positioned, so hardly better...a decent compact external system would be FAR better in any gig. STYLE MANAGER ....end of!!!! That's the ONLY thing which was needed...or even if Korg had the decency to make a set available AT COST they would sell well for them and keep us EK owners happy and satisfied.... I am really disappointed and won't be considering an upgrade...Big let down!!! After such s fantastic first model... Keith
