Enhanced Definition Synthesis (EDS) engine, just like the M3, and developed in parallel with OASYS, provides incredible, high-fidelity sounds.

Incredible sounds and addictive grooves, with Korg’s legendary sound design making the most of the M50’s impressive power.

Easy to use interface, with a bright and beautiful TouchView display!

Four Chord Trigger Buttons to trigger notes (up to 8-note chords!), drum sounds and MIDI messages.

Two powerful, polyphonic, programmable arpeggiators that can run simultaneously, with over 900 patterns for expressive, tweak- able performances.

Massive Combinations layer, split and velocity-switch up to 16 Programs, with a separate 3-band EQ for each timbre.

Drum Track adds an instant groove and inspiration to any Program, Combi or Sequence- with over 600 preloaded patterns.

5 stereo Insert, 2 Stereo Master and 1 Stereo Total effects – the full mixing power of the M3 – no corners cut here!

4 Multi-function knobs for easy sound editing and mixer/arpeggiators/external devices/software control.

External software control templates built in, with over 100 templates for the most popular titles.
