Nice board, but...
Quality:
It seems pretty consistant with other Korg keyboard synths I've owned with the exception of the power supply and input. Very light.
Features:
Best features are it's weight, very light and easy to move around, laid out nicely, bright LED display, quite a few very useful presets without alot of reprogramming the patch. Biggest detrament is the power supply. I see a problem in the futyre with the input and the power suplly cable itself. It doesnt even fit well into the input and always make me feel as if it isnt in good. I have had two M50's (one was a loaner) and they both were the same.Made very poorly.Come on Korg, you can do better than that!
Ease of Use:
Was able to fire it up and start playing right away. midied it to my Triton and worked as it should.
Sound:
The piano although sounded great when I tried one out in the store, sound tinny and has no balls. My Triton piano setting blows the doors off of it on stage.
Action:
action is fine, no problems there.
Value:
I believe this was a good value yes

Nice for the price
Quality:
It is nice and light if you are a gigging musician. It's very dependable. The sequencer Would be super nice with more resolution.
Features:
There's still stuff I'm discovering. It's pretty powerful for a entry board. Wish it had sampling.
Ease of Use:
This is a decent board. Other key bed is a little flimsy, but you can definitely get the job done.
Sound:
The sound coming out of this board is incredible.
Action:
Decent. Could be a bit nicer.
Value:
Best value on the market.

Tanya Jones from College Park. GA
Quality:
The korg is well made and dependable.
Features:
The touch screen. I would like to add a feature that make the songs easier to convert to wav or mp3 format.
Ease of Use:
The Korg is easy to use. It is much easier to use than the Yamaha. The manual was easy to used. The Korg was much easier to play than other products and made loops with ease.
Sound:
I love the Korg M50 the sounds are great.
Action:
It was plug and play right out of the box.
Value:
For the price I would recommend this to anyone looking to make great music easily.

Subject:
Great for Amateur or Professional
Quality:
Korg makes quality products. For the price, the quality is Top "A" Grade.
Features:
For the price you a getting a full spectrum professional equipment. But it can be used for an Amateur wanting to upgrade, but also are on a budget. However, I feel there are some old sounds, and missing some modern day sounds and instruments.
Ease of Use:
It very easy to use, especially if you're used to using a different system/keyboard. It took me about a week to fully learn how use the system as a standalone. I have been playing with it too much and haven't used it on a computer yet.
Sound:
The sound is crisp and real. Traditional instruments do sound a bit tin, but not too noticeable unless you plan on replacing an orchestra.
Action:
Very easy to use: just take it out of the box, plug the power, plug in the speakers or headphones, and start playing.
Value:
You get all the professional tools and sounds in a very low price.

AWESOME for the $!
Quality:
This unit outclasses everything that is in it's class! There is no comparison. The Yamaha MO is the closest thing, and it's not all that close.
Features:
Again ,for the money, you will do no better!
Ease of Use:
Well, can be simple for what it is. But, at the same time, if you take the time & really learn synths, THE M50 is TRULY AMAZING! SO simple to do massive manipulation of anything. Simple onboard, or to make it even easier, there is 2 editors that come with it. One runs as a stand alone, the other is a VST!
Sound:
Now,,, spend 1700 on the M3,,, you gain MORE sounds, but NOT better sounds. Same sound set as the M3! THIS IS A FACT! Check it out for yourself!
Your a FOOL if your looking to spend around a grand for a workstation and don't get the M50.
Been gigging for over a year with it. Awesome unit. Records VERY nicely too!
Action:
For what it is, it's awesome!
Value:
BY FAR, the best in it's class!

M3 is King, M50 is Queen!!
Quality:
Keyboard is pretty sturdy. Should last a long time unless you're bangin Lil Richard doo wop tunes...
Features:
Best feature has to be the sound of all instruments... Some folks say certain ones are weak, but with so many of each to choose from, you'll find what you're looking for..I would add the sampling option and a couple more chord assign buttons(I Love those!!)
Ease of Use:
Not too bad. Takes a min to get used to the touch screen. Haven't had a Korg since O1/W..Shouldn't take too long to figure out if you have the time to poke around.. Manual is easy for the basic stuff but you have to make your own procedures for how you work because there are different ways to do the same thing.
Sound:
Again, the sound are LOVELY.. If you cant find what you're looking for in this piece, then you want something nobody wants to hear! This thing has every sound you want..(all tweakable..)
Action:
Lovely!!! From AMS, had the lates OS.. Keys are nice to play!! Killer presets for the impromptu player. New ideas will flow!!
Value:
Very good value for the money. I know everyone wants an M3 but this is not that bad of a step down for what you get at a lot less money..
Do you own this product?:
Yes I do..

The Best in its Class
Quality:
Solid Construction and durable.
Features:
Over 250mb of sample data, 604 programs, and more than half that in combi's. A built in touchscreen and 16 track sequencer with 210,000 note capacity. Tons of effects now with the 1.10 update which by the way is already done in the M50's from AMS.
Ease of Use:
Its easy to select programs and combinations, but get ready to read alot of the manual and parameter guide to do any really good stuff with it. There are tutorials on you tube and at sudosonic.com for this model so keep that in mind.
Sound:
Beautiful...amazing!
Value:
The best value around tell you the truth.

Tim Valentine from Breezewood, Pa.
Quality:
Usual Korg Quality. A special thanks to A.M.S in getting this out before Christmas. I know now where to spend my hard earned musical equiptment money!
Features:
The choirs and chorus effects are as good or better than even the best kurzweil or Roland boards I have either owned or played!
Ease of Use:
If you are a key boardist ease of use is just what you would expect from a quality manufacturer. A manaual is a manual, with this keyboard ease of use is as quick and easy as plugging in and dialing in your sounds with a touch board screen and a little imagination! As far as playability goes just lay your fingers on it!
Sound:
Very strong and well defined voicings.
Action:
Just like the one I played at the local music store. Flawless!
Value:
For the money, can't beat it!
