    Comments about Korg M50 88-Key Synthesizer Workstation with Weighted Keys:

    I have owned this keyboard for about 6 months. The sounds are superb! Once you play the Combi's you will want more. They are really sweet. Ease of use in getting started is fair...just hit the keys! Takes some playing around with. Once you realize that you can just highlight and punch in your selection...walla! Same with rythm. I have never had so much fun playing around with a machine like this. Every sound has it's own uniqueness. You can actually tweek every sound you hear. Great keyboard. I still haven't even scratched the surface! Praise and worship player and loving every minute of it with this machine. I recommend it to the more advanced in technology although. Pretty detailed...may frustrate the rookie. You won't be sorry you bought this one! I have owned Rolands and Yamaha's..M50 beats them all in my opinion. Love, love love it!
