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.

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.

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!

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

[bhaskarchetia]

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

[doradirrman]

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

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!!!

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

Please do a video about using the record function and looping

[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...

[rklogan]

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!

[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!

[philarican]

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!

[swarnendupaul]

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 💐🌷👍👌😀

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.

[petershortsleeves]

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!

[laughhyena]

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.

[ThePianoJourneyMusic]

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

[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.
