Korg X50 61 Key Music Synthesizer Keyboard Review – Professional Keyboard at a Fair Price

Korg X50 61 Key Music Synthesizer Keyboard Review

I bought my Korg X50 61 Key Music Synthesizer Keyboard about a couple of years back and have been very satisfied with the purchase.

I use it mostly for my home based studio, and don’t use it much for onstage performances.

Since it is Korg, the sound is absolutely stunning anyways. Besides, it uses the same engine as some of the top Korg keyboard workstations.

The keys of Korg X50 61 Key Music Synthesizer Keyboard are synth style plastic keys, NOT weighted ones so if you have been used to playing piano, you need to keep that in mind.

Price-wise this is inexpensive compared to some of the front line Korg synth keyboards. That’s because it is less customizable. The editing, customizing features are not as easy as on the top workstation keyboards including the Triton.

But the voices are just stunning. The acoustic instrument section, especially the Piano, Organ, Flutes, and strings voices are particularly strong. So if you intend to use classical sounds in your compositions, you will be more than pleased.

I don’t use the Korg X50 for gigs, but then it is portable and sturdy; it will be great for gigs too. I use it mainly for my studio and I think it’s a great synthesizer keyboard, considering the price I paid and the voices that are available (I think they are worth a lot more).

I strongly recommend the Korg X50 61 Key Music Synthesizer Keyboard.

Korg X50 61 Key Music Synthesizer Keyboard Review
by: Rob

I bought a Korg X-50 synthesizer keyboard because I wanted the great sounds of a Korg Triton, without having to burn a hole in my pocket.

The programs and combis in this Korg synth are just out of the world. If you have experiencing in voicing, then you will find the piano, strings, guitar sounds very impressive.

The Korg X-50 synth keyboard can be quite handy for a live performance as well. The knobs are convenient to use and you can do all the adjustments needed for a live performance by using the standard programming.

If you want something better, you will have to go in for the Korg M50 workstation which has some killer sounds, 16-track sequencer, touch screen, etc., but it is priced around $1000.

On the other hand, Korg X-50 synthesizer keyboard continues to sell for around $600 on Amazon, which I think, is a great deal.
