New EK-50 owner looking for patch/keyboard set/sound recommendations

[PianoTone]

Hi there; just got my new EK-50 and have been browsing through all the keyboard sets; loving the sounds so far, curious if anyone has some recommendations for sounds not in the default sets that work well for:
- "barky" rhodes for Riders on the Storm?
- piano bass split other than the built in keyboard set? (mostly the bass I'm asking about)
- I was going to ask about any transistory organ sounds for House of the Rising Sun, but I just noticed a Vox in the sound list, will try that when I get home

Thanks!

Looking for the same, just got one also, this thing is pretty good.

You could take a look at the free Bonus Styles on the Korg product page for the EK to see if any suit your needs.

Starting to really have a problem with the EK-50's sharp-edged white keys... Especially with the left little finger - with octaves you really can feel the sharp inner edge of the key when stretching the hand. Why did Korg do this?

To put no finer point on the matter some Korg keybeds belong on a $75 kids keyboard.

It was one of the reasons why I sold both my Kross 2 and my Pa700, both keybeds sucked.
