    Korg repeatedly boasts about the dual polyphonic arpeggiator in the M50. Would anyone who owns one tell me exactly how many arpeggiator presets Korg provides out of the box? And how much space has Korg provided for user arp patterns, if any? Thanks for your time.

    According to the M50 page on Korg's website, there are 1028 arpeggiator patterns in total, and 900 are preloaded, giving you 128 to work with. You'll probably be able to overwrite some of the preloaded ones if you want.

    Thanks. Why I couldn't discern this from the page though I have scanned it many times remains a mystery.

    So this 1,028 pales in comparison to Yamaha's 6,000 arp patterns built in to the motif.

    Of course, the motif is its flagship synth, and if we're to compare its piddly arpeggiators to the OASYS's karma II, the motif would just shrink into oblivion I suppose.

    also think of the combinations that are possible if you can run two at a time on the m50 thats 1028x1028 and that gives you 1,056,784 possibilities! haha take that motif! actually im a big yamaha and motif fan but either way that kicks its 6000s butt!

    haha and also i think the appegiator on the m50 is way easier to use

    for your information.. upto four arppegiators can be played simultaneously 6700x4= 26800 Possibilities!!!
    and by the way your calculation is wrong... dual polyphonic means that 1028 arpegiators will have only 2056 possibilities ie. (1028 x 2)....... not 1028 x 1028....
    now think who kicks whose butt!

    Hej, hej Sidharth,

    please turn your eyes to page 125 of the manual:


    Press MENU to open the Global edit menu.


    This menu gives access to the various Global edit pages.

    When in this menu, select a section using the VOLUME/
    VALUE buttons, press PAGE+ to select a page, or press EXIT
    to exit the menu.

    Vel.Curve (Velocity Curve)

    This parameter sets the sensitivity of the keyboard to your
    touch.
    1
    No dynamic control available. Dynamic values
    are fixed, as in a classic organ.
    2…9
    Curves, from the lightest one to the hardest one


    I hope this will help you.


    Regards goldi5210
