Question for M50 owners

[quote="kimu"]but if your main goals is organ sound there is better choice than x50, as clavia C series or clavia electro / stage, b3 clone ...[/quote

Main is the organ but I need brass, EP, strings, pads, etc.

Are you referring to Nord? I've tried the Nordelectro 2 and, after having a Korg CX-3 V2 for 4 years, I much prefer it over the red boy and, as I said before, I'm on a budget.

Nords in Argentina are a rip off.

'
I have both the Korgs you mention (M50 & X50), and I also have a Clavia Nord Electro 2 (73 note).

Now I'm a huge Korg fan, but if organ sounds are your prime consideration, the Nord Electro (or Stage) trounces the Korg keyboards in that department.

Whilst the other 'clonewheel' organs (Hammond XK3 , Korg BX3/CX3 , Roland VK8) all have their admirers, these are organs only.

The advantage with the Electro/Stage is that they also have piano/clavinova sounds built-in - although you'd have to look elsewhere for strings/brass etc.
(the Nord Stage also has a built-in synth, so I suppose you could simulate these sounds using that).

If you want just one keyboard that does 'everything', I'd still recommend the M50.
(Remember - the 'factory' sounds you will have heard on the demo model are immensely 'tweakable' to your own taste).

Hi and thanks,

You know what the REAL problems is? I've had (sold already) a tube Hammond organ and a Leslie 147...I MUST FORGET! I MUST FORGET!

Oh dear!.... the benefit of hindsight, eh?
