Korg Ek-50 61 Note Keyboard Arranger | Mooloolaba Music Australia

Have you ever wanted to be a one man band? Playing all your favourite hits along with drums and backing. Or maybe you are a song writer and you have some awesome melodies that need some accompaniment. The Korg EK-50 entertainer keyboard can do it all and is equipped with automatic accompaniment functionality called “Styles,”which allow you to automatically produce a rich accompaniment with just one finger on the left hand, or by playing chords. Since this accompaniment changes according to the keyboard position or the chord that you play, you can easily improvise by playing the melody with your right hand. It’s like leading a band that knows hundreds of songs with the touch of a finger.

The EK-50’s onboard Styles cover more than 280 musical genres from around the world, each with four variations ranging from simple to complex, as well as an intro and ending for the beginning and end of the song. You can add variety to your performance by switching these buttons in time with the rhythm.
