EK50 NO SOUND OUTPUT.

I would say your audio IC has gone down for some reason, it is on the circuit board at the rear, where all the plugs etc are inserted. If you haven't tampered with the internal speaker setup, it is difficult to explain why the IC would have failed. Unless you have had it connected to an external amp ...

EK50 MOD

Hi all, as a retired electronics tech, and multi instrumentalist, I love the EK50, but it has kept me away from my other love, being the guitar. So, I had been throwing things around in my head regarding....''what if I could get the EK50 to change chords/beats etc via foot switches", that way I ...

EK50 PANNING OUTPUTS

Hi all, cannot seem to find how to pan the keyboard to left and right outputs so that the left and right hand parts can be split to the outputs, say, from the keyboard split points. Need to record the chords on one track of a recording and the melody on the other. I hope it can be possible, but I ...

EK50 EFFECTS

Thank you for that, yes, I have the manual printed out. The effects are limited in that you may want to have some compression on the bass, or drums, but not on all the upper sounds as some reverbs etc would be more useful.

EK50 EFFECTS

Hi all, would it be possible to select which instrument the effects are applied to? I have tried to perform this function, but the chosen effect appears to be on all of the instrument layers, when, as an example, the same delay or reverb applied to the upper layers of the keyboard, may not suit the ...

EK50 NOT STORING SETTINGS

Hi, yes, it has the latest. It appears to be all good now, I did another reset and watched a video regarding setting up the keyboard sets and I think I was doing it incorrectly before.

KORG EK50 NOT SAVING SETINGS

I do note one thing since I did the reset, I have no sound when I first power on, but if I press the grand piano button, sound comes back on for all settings.

EK50 NOT STORING SETTINGS

Thanks for the reply. I thought I was doing it correctly, so did a factory restore and is now storing my setups as required. Not sure what was wrong, maybe I had did something that I should not have. Will see how I go with it and advise further. Cheers.

EK50 NOT STORING SETTINGS

Hi all, not sure what I could be doing wrong here, but when I setup a particular sound patch, and save it to a bank, when I return to that bank and press the particular bank number it was stored on, it has changed the instrument to something other than what I saved. I think I am doing it correctly ...

saving user songs to USB

Hi all, trying to save my user songs to USB drive, but I can only get it to save as a Midi file, not wave or mp3. Surely this can be possible to do, as I tried converting the midi files to mp3 on my laptop and they sound horrible.; Any help would be great.

KORG EK50 FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Hi all, unpacked my new EK50 this week and early opinions of it are favorable. It has some great sounds indeed, and complements my Yamaha PSRE463 nicely. If I have any early ''grey areas''at all, the ''button holding'' and double pushes for some of the menu functions could have been designed a ...

Hi from Australia

Hi all, just moved over to a Korg Keyboard, namely a little EK50. Did purchase a Casio CTX3000, but it was returned to the shop after two weeks of doing my head in, due to the messed up operating system and menu disaster. Some good sounds were to be had, but at the expense of ''brain explosions ...
