Thanks. I know I need to watch more videos, but how do you keep track of where you put what in the registrations? Guess it's like a filing system. Maybe I make a note on the music I'm using it for. I read music, you guys probably have your music in your head. But, am happy to realize what the registrations are used for, saves a lot of button pushing.Hi Martha, yes you can change the tempo whilst playing, just checked on my EK50. 99 user songs it states in the specs, I guess that could depend on the size of the songs, not sure about that part. Yes, the rego buttons are for saving any settings you change to the styles, sounds etc. All modern day machines would be a nightmare without them. lol I never use the arpegg buttons on any of my keyboards, sound fake to me, anyway.Yes, you can switch off the speakers. IMO, you wont go wrong with the Korg, The Casio was doing my head in, and let's face it, how many Casio's do you see being used on stage, compared to Korg and Yamaha? Sorry Casio fans, but this is a fact.
Hope thei s helps. If you require anything further, I can go the the Korg and try things for you. No problem. Cheers Geoff
I have a Korg EK-50. The styles are very easy to recognize and associate to famous songs. They have good intros and it helps, and motivate us to try that songs similar to that musical phrases of the intros. We can add 96 user styles. But the problem is this Korg don't buit the styles. So, I am searching for another keyboard for using the two together. I recomend this keyboard for playing alive.I had a Korg PA700 for three years but not played an EK50, from the specs it very much looks like a cut down version.
The overall quality of the Korg tones and ease of use make it a hard to beat keyboard.
The Korg OS does take some getting used to but once learned is very quick and easy to use.
So do checkout one as per geobee’s suggestion, here is a demo by Luke of Korg UK.
BTW
To show how easy a Korg is, once all the Registrations are set up in the keyboard to access them press Songbook and there are the first page of entries ready to simply touch the applicable one. Touch the chosen Song and everything is then set up ready to play. At the sessions I used to go to the others with their Casios and Yamahas were button pressing galore the three of us with Korgs were always ready to go.
