Learning to play an instrument is a long process and it’s a lot easier when you have someone to play along with. What could be better than accompaniment from the keyboard itself?<\/span><\/h4>\n

Korg have unveiled their EK-50, an entertainment keyboard made for any level of player. It sets itself apart by “growing with you” with an entire backing band that accompanies whatever you play with increasingly advanced functions as your skill grows.<\/p>\n

The EK-50 uses a function which they call ‘Styles’ to follow and play along to what you’re playing. Play a chord or just a note with your left hand and the keyboard will produce a rich accompaniment allowing you to improvise and play a melody with your right hand. The styles cover over 280 genres from all over the world, each of which has four variations ranging from simple to complex so that you can get creative in any style you like.<\/p>\n

You can switch up the rhymths and even add intros and endings to the accompaniments. An STS (Single Touch Select) function that automatically selects recommended styles when you switch it up. Korg say: “It’s a perfect pairing of sound and Style, all set up and ready to go, so that you can focus on learning, creating or performing.”<\/p>\n
