Korg EK-50 vs Casio CT-X5000 | Which is the better keyboard?

[@RubyInferno]

Jeremy, I am a programmer and in my 4th year of my bachelor's degree in computer science. I am really glad to have found your channel, you have a gargantuan amount of knowledge about keyboards & my love for game soundtracks has recently sparked a new interest in me: I need to get a keyboard and learn all about it. I am really attracted to the CASIO CT-X5000 right now due to the flexibility and the plethora of features it offers as you have described. Going to look at more of your videos!

[@mantuborgohain9550]

You're doing a mistake. You will suffer with the casio.

[@angelmendez6638]

​@@mantuborgohain9550yo tengo el Casio y es buenísimo

[@TheMysticGambler]

I am so glad that I found your video about the ek 50 before I pulled the trigger on the CT-x 5000. Thank you!

[@samzero00james]

Jeremy you deserve a lot more subs and views. Your content is so detailed and unbiased and helpful. Thanks sir

[@JeremySee]

Thanks buddy.

[@arcinison2960]

Jeremy, compare o CTX 5000 com o CT-S500. Aqui no Brasil os valores de ambos são iguais praticamente. O que um tem de vantagem ou desvantagem em relação ao outro?

[@stevewebb7126]

Good review .I personally would go for the Ctkx 5000 Full sequencing great sounds more like a Workstation synth ,ive owned lots of synthsesisers through the years and prefer making my own tracks from scratch in the sequencer ,so accompaniments are not to important to me so i think the Casio is my choice .

[@denodan]

I accually ended up getting the Korg ek50 also so now have the Casio ctx5000 plus the Korg. Things I notice is the Casio is far more versatile and cleaner slightly more real sounds. The Korg has better sound quailty and keyboard feels better. It has little learning curve over the casio. The Korg can use up to a 2tb disk drive. Have a spare 500gb USB drive so will come in handy. The essemble while nicer than the casio found it's not as suitable as the equivalent feature on the casio. Find strings on the korg are richer and feel better. Like the rock styles better on the Korg. The keyboard split on the korg standard is a bit high for accompliment and lower it by 4 keys so is the same range as the casio else the korg forces you to play either on the upper part of the keyboard or you got to adjust the octave, or I think transpose, so out of the box casio is better here. Both keyboards do feel different. The most frustrating thing with casio is the menu system, lots of buttons and menus to go through. While I have not yet read through the whole manual think casio it maybe essential. With the Korg they have a more detailed pdf owners manual. Mind you modern keyboards have so many voices now not as friendly as the old keyboard as they had less voices so 1 button 1 voice not like now 1 button and have to input numbers to find them and need a list of voices and styles to find them quick. Casio has listed these on a sperate sheets. Guess it will depend on my mood what keyboard I want to play, but like the idea of batteries being able to use batteries. Also the Korg music stand I am surprised is accually metal unlike casino's one is plastic but both do the job. While watching videos on piano setting I thought in all the Casio sounded better but now that I have both in real life I prefer the Korg piano. As for sounds it's now harder to justify dearer keyboards as like sampled pianos they are starting to sound similar and as good as much dearer keyboards. So it may not be the sounds that justify the price but the versatile, extra features and build quality and of course 128 polyphony which you dont get on the cheaper keyboards So like you compared the sounds of pianos between dear and cheap and sounded pretty much the same so are the sound samples on the keyboards of this range are sounding much the same as their dearer counterparts. I have been playing off and on for years keyboards and organs and both these keyboards have everything I need.

[@JeremySee]

Thanks for sharing buddy.

[@kernell32bcn]

Wow, this comment was amazingly detailed and helpful. Thanks mate!

[@kernell32bcn]

After trying for 3 weeks to decide between the Yamaha prs463 and the Korg ek50 I just discovered this Casio (Casio never been a famous name where I'm from in instruments, more toys). But I don't really understand this comparison Jeremy, you say that Korg is more for ppl who just want to turn it on and play, while Casio is more complicated since you have so many possibilities and can make your own sounds and beats... But I though you can do that with the Casio aswell (and I confess I'm clueless since I haven't played neither). I mean, can't you just pick a tone and style and play straight away? And sound and beat editing is an extra option, like the arpeggios or effects? And the styles in Casio sound pretty good too... What am i missing? Thanks man!

[@mosestechtalk]

@Janardan S 5 months down the line, how do you rate the keyboard?

[@golfingal1959]

Hi Jeremy♡♡♡ Well, I am a intermediate player & I wanted to thank you for helping me choose my keyboard. I just ordered the Korg Ex-50 and I will get it this Saturday!! It sounds really great, and it sounds a little easier to use. Have a great day Jeremy♡♡♡ Cari

[@JeremySee]

Have fun!

[@cinepost]

Do you still have the Korg? What would you upgrade to today?

[@Arczii1337]

I still really dunno what to pick. With ek50 I love ability to turn off each part of accompaniment. But CTX5000 looks like it comes with huge possibility - edits, registers, bigger sequencer tracks. Or maybe korg pa300 is better choice?

[@R1NAU]

Thank you, Jeremy! My choice is Casio CT-X5000

[@New_Zealand_Music]

Thank you very much Jeremy for another great video

[@ebenburger111]

[@joanmasgoret]

Hello Jeremy, if I only play grand piano, what I have to buy ?

[@FrancelPsalmsChannel]

Hi sir...im interested buying ek - 50 or korg i3.... What price you can give me? Is it possible that im here jn the phils...pls reply

[@kompilasi-eh5uw]

can the ek-50 style be edited like ct x5000?

[@Abhishekdailyvlogg]

Ctx 9000 is already buy and its very good performance overall and speakers 🔊 quality is sooo good

[@nandakumarm3075]

Hai.... How is tone quality of ctx9000in....?

[@normanswarn4949]

The Casio CT-X 5000 speakers sounds are exceptional ! The Korg like the Casio has sound effects but get this . The Korg sound effects are multiple where as the Casio are singler . Meaning if you play ones laughing or dogs barking or babies crying or cars roaring . Take off the S on each of these for you cant get more then one dog barking or babies crying ect. on the Casio. You only can get one. For this as with the desired elimination of various voices when performing. Korg had really done its homework.

[@djba]

Thanks for this video Jeremy. Here is a question I have ... based on price, is the Yamaha PSR SX600 twice as good as either of these keyboards?

[@karaokeandinstrumentals7135]

For me, yes.

[@damora626]

I'm going to buy a keyboard tomorrow, I'm not beginner but first time buying a keyboard. Casio ctx 5000, yamaha psr e463, korg Ek 50 or Roland Ex 30. My budget is around 500$ please recommend from this list or tell me other best keyboard in the price range

[@pronammandal7342]

Sir , ultimately which keyboard is better in your opinion ?

[@garywatsonjr.2060]

Oops😕 my brotha Jeremy..I have to differ with you on your opening statement doc..with the exception of its mini-size keys and the fact that it's no longer in production (but still available for purchase), the BEST keyboard on the planet in the price range from $200.00 to $500.00 is the Korg microARRANGER!..HANDS-DOWN man!..

[@isurucumaranathunga]

Nice video very informative..my dream is ctx 5000

[@rajtilaksengupta]

Is there any news on a Yamaha offering above the PSR E463 ?

[@HubertEtAlice]

Nope. The E463 was just out last April so it is still fairly new. If you need something more powerful and want Yamaha, you’ve got to go for the S670 or 775.

[@dhomznotiful]

hello sir jeremy this was posted 2yrs ago, is it still possible now for a free shipping right here in the philippines? Casio CTX-3000is my choice...

[@DaMatta11]

So, who is the better keyboard?

[@dineshdaveindia5117]

jeremy sir, which keyboard the beginner should choose, like casio ctk 2550 or 3500 etc; and then gradually upgrade to more advanced models afterwards, or the hi end ctx5000 right from the beginning.. the goal would be to learn the instrument perfectly plus every aspect of music.. thanks..

[@adozensparrows]

Get the best one with sound you like! Good sounds really inspire you (me) to play a lot more -- always a good thing! IMO: I like the Casio but you've got to 'tweak' your sounds (tho this begins your journey in editing sounds). Honestly even tho I own a Casio, I would recommend a keyboard with better 'out of the box' inspiring tones. Casio is not the best for ready-made sounds. Hope this helps.

[@TheScott7878]

Can you tell me how the Casio Ctx 5000 c2 differs from the Ctx 5000😀😀😀

Just a question ,are you at any point going to do a video on the Casio ctkx 5000 sequencer ,i cant find any vids on that ,i mean like its editing capabilities such as cut copy paste? ,loop recording if it has it .No one demos the 17track sequencer .Thanks .

Hi Jeremy! My EK-50 does not display or sound the same compared to my PSR-463. When I play a two finger Dm on my Yamaha, the same fingering on the EK-50 it shows a Dm7. The major cords (CDEFG..) are the same, but not the minors and 7th that don't display or sound the same. Can the settings be changed so that both the display and sounds match the Yamaha? My local store was not very helpful.

I lived close to the orchard road area and hung out at Woodstock Lounge, which used to be on the roof of Far East Plaza. John Chee, guitar. Kamal Osbam, bass and best friend!

I have played all Keyboard Brands, including Yamaha, Korg, Roland and yes, Casio... I have bought the New Casio CT-X3000....New AiX Engine, Sounds better than any other Casio I have ever played... Drums are fantastic! Pianos are good and some other tones are very usable, some are the same as in other old Casio models... The "basic" nylon Guitar is Terrible! The styles are Ok, but I am not a fan of them. In my opinion, they sound like a "bad arranged Midi file". The Casio Operating System is a Nightmare!!! Not User friendly at all... The new Updated Speaker system sounds very nice... Am I happy with this Keyboard? Sorry, but I am not... The AiX Engine is Nice, but I think the whole keyboard needs more updates, like a new Operating System, New more "Lively" Styles, and better Keys... Sorry Casio...
