Hello, after 10 enjoyable years of playing it, I am only now attempting to learn how to use the M-50 sequence mode. I know there's lots of good help in the Parameters Guide, User Guide and Rich Formidoni's YouTube tutorials but I'm still puzzled about one thing: I would like to simply import one of ...

There's only 1 song in my repertoire that requires me to use the M-50 Key Transpose feature. I've read the Korg M-50 Owner's Manual and Parameters Guide. They direct me to go into Global Mode and through various menus and various steps to so change the pitch of my M-50. I assume I would have to go ...

I am just starting to learn sequencer mode using a 3/4 time "waltz" type tune. The trouble is I cannot figure out how to make the "click" metronome sound which comes on in sequencer mode be 3/4 time signature instead of 4/4 time signature (which appears to be the default). The instructions in the M ...

Well, that is the question: How do I apply or "write" and appergio pattern to the chords on the chord triggers? Can you direct me to the page in the Parameters Guide, or perhaps an online tutorial that says how do do this?

Is there some easy way to program and do one-touch playing of broken- chord? It seems to me that the Chord trigger buttons would be ideal for this if they could be programmed/set to play, for instance, the three notes of a "G" triad chord in sequence (arpeggio) instead of all at once. for the simple ...

I'd like to have those Vintage Key sounds but don't want to use up all the extra space on my M-50. I think someone might have posted instructions on this in the past, but is there a way for me to download those extra keyboards onto an SD card that I can pick and choose sounds from in the future? my ...

There could be letigimate reasons for someone returning a perfectly good M50. For example, they could like it so much they wished they bought the 73-key version or the weighted-key version or an Oasis, etc. However, the dealer should honestly sell it as an "open box" but "fully warranted" version.

When I press the chord trigger buttons, the chords are way too loud relative to the notes I concurrently play on the regular keyboard. This problem exists to the same degree in ALL my M50 programs and combis. It is as though someone tinkered with one of the factory settings. Is there some easy way ...

I am surprised to hear that anyone is dissapointed with the M50's sounds. I shopped long and hard before I bought my M50 and it was the high-quality sounds that sold me on it. I bought my M50 for approximately $1,200 U.S. and felt I'd have to pay two or three times that amount to get anything close ...

I thank you both for the above information. Follow-up questions: (1) The factory Programs and Combi's are so good I'm reluctant to change them irreversibly. It scares me to death to see "Are you sure?" just before I save! Is there a way to save the Program changes I make in a way where I don't "lose ...

Thank you.

I saw pictures of some of the "color" m50's and thought they were cool. However, for me, the sleek, black appearance of the standard M50 is a real "plus." Black always looks professional and never goes out of style.

I am taking keyboard lessons and using my M50 for practice. I typically use the basic "M50 Grand" piano program and then I have to click through all the drum patterns to select drum pattern #391, metronome every time I turn it on to practice. It would be nice if I could simply "save" this set-up, to ...

Newbie questions A : (1) In selecting certain options on the touch screen display, does a dark box or a light-colored box mean the option is selected. For example, in the 'memory protect" screen, does the shaded box or unshaded box designate memory protect "on"? (2) What does the open safety pin ...

Thank you all for your prompt replies. This is indeed a helpful forum. I had hoped that this static/hissing was some kind of intended, old-school effect. Your replies come as a relief. I discovered that someone had previously opened the box of my newly purchased Korg M50. The retailer addressed my ...
