I am away from my EK50 for holiday .

I imagine it would simply work using the transpose function control ?

I have never tried this myself on an EK 50 but on my other boards this is the case.

With transpose buttons change only the keyboard

On my Pa3x its like this (should be the same on the EK):
Open the midi file in Sequencer,
Menu, Song Edit, Transpose Tab, select ALL tracks, choose your value (say + or minus), Execute. Use dropdown menu and Save.
This will permanently change the key.

If you prefer to temporarily change it in Song Play, hit Shift and Transpose, change selection to "Applies to Midi Notes" then use your + or minus Transpose butttons.

It's official (korg italy wrote me) : in 2020 they build a keyboard that NO TRANSPOSE a midifile.
I'm shocked !

You might have to use a free program like Anvil Studios.
