Korg EK-50L

The Affordable Arranger Keyboard for Entertainers

If you’ve ever wanted an affordable, easy-to-use arranger keyboard to play your music at small events and coffee house gigs — without a PA system — Sweetwater has just what you need! The EK-50 L is a specialized version of Korg’s popular EK-50 arranger keyboard optimized for live performance. It’s packed with over 700 great sounds and 290 auto-accompaniment style presets, and it’s equipped with high-volume stereo speakers, plus advanced recording and playback features and LED buttons for easy navigation.

Styles for realistic backing and composition

There’s nothing cheesy about the selection of styles supplied with the Korg EK-50 L. Programmed by leading arrangers, the EK-50 L contains 290 different styles that provide you with unparalleled realism and detail. You won’t have to suffer through monotonous, repetitive accompaniment with the EK-50 either, as each style contains two intros, four variations, two fills, a count-in, and two endings. The keyboard’s rich, detailed accompaniment also provides useful ideas for your own arrangements. Simply play a chord progression, and the Korg EK-50 L will complete the basic backing tracks for you.

Powerful speakers deliver twice the volume

With automatic accompaniment that instantly transforms your playing into an entire band, the EK-50 has become a go-to instrument for both beginners as well as advanced musicians. The EK50 L shares the same great features, but rocks double the speaker power — a specially designed stereo system that delivers twice as much volume as the EK-50, so you don’t need a PA system for small gigs and impromptu jams. Like the EK-50, it can run on batteries, making it ideal for no-hassle busking in the park.

Sleek, durable rubberized finish

Is higher powered speakers are designed for live performance — and so is its finish. The EK-50 L features a black rubberized finish that provides added durability, and 2-color (red and white) panel printing for easy viewing on dimly lit stages. When switching styles or fills, or using the ensemble functions, the increased legibility of the panel lets you masterfully ace your performance.

New, additional EDM-focused sounds

In addition to the wide range of sounds already available on the EK-50, EK-50 L adds new sounds and backing pattern styles, with an emphasis on contemporary dance music, to put more great sounds and styles at your finger tips. Newly added are 87 preset sounds, 18 preset drum kits, and 24 keyboard sets that each combine four parts.

Huge, free music software bundle

The EK-50 L comes with a huge, free music software bundle. Highlights include Ozone Elements, which not only lets you create songs but also features AI-powered mastering tools, Skoove, which helps you improve your keyboard skills, and Reason Lite, a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) that makes it easy to record your music with its powerful included instruments and effects. Also included are software synths from KORG and others. All things considered, the Korg EK-50 L offers huge music-making and performance power at a great price. It’s a tremendous value!
