The Korg X50CF 61-Key Synthesizer is a limited-edition camouflage version of the X50 synth and comes packed with the same distinctive and world-renowned TRITON-based sounds as its more understated brother. The X50CF synthesizer is designed for easy and intuitive operation, and has an ultra-light and compact design ideal for the active musicians, song-hunters, or rock music enthusiasts.Korg's brilliant sounds in a handy size The Korg X50CF music synthesizer features the HI (Hyper Integrated) sound engine that's used on the world-famous TRITON series. It gives you pro-quality sounds in an ultra-compact body. This keyboard synthesizer delivers unbeatable convenience and enjoyment for live performance or song production.A rich array of sounds and powerful effects The 64MB PCM memory contains a wide range of sounds, including piano, strings, guitar, and synth sounds. With 512 sound Programs, as well as 384 Combinations that let you use up to eight Programs together, you can start enjoying a diverse selection of great sounds right away. The effect section lets you simultaneously use four effects (one insert effect, two master effects, and one EQ), and provides a full selection of effect types such as reverb, chorus, and delay. Best of all, the X50CF is compatible with Korg's TR line of music workstations so you can share sounds and songs with Korg users around the world.Dual arpeggiator makes performance even more fun An arpeggiator lets you play a variety of phrases using just one finger, and the X50CF provides two polyphonic arpeggiators! For example, in Combination mode you can use the two arpeggiators to play drums and bass while you play chords and melody, giving you amazing power for live performances. In addition to five basic preset arpeggio patterns, the X50CF also provides an additional 251 patterns containing various phrases. Of course you can also create your own original patterns and store them in internal memory.Easy operation for immediate use Finding the right sound quickly when you have so many to choose from can be a problem on some systems, but not with the X50CF. It organizes sounds into sixteen categories, and provides a Category Select function that makes it quick and easy to choose the sound you need from the category you specify. There's also an Audition Riff function that provides one-touch audition of each sound. Four knobs can be used to quickly adjust sounds, effects, and arp settings, and the ClickPoint cursor makes the X50CF a pleasure to use and play.Light and compact design for easy portability The X50CF packs professional-quality sounds and a wide range of functions into an amazingly light and compact body. Even with a 61-note keyboard that gives you plenty of room to perform, the X50CF boasts an ultra-light weight of only 4.5 kg—about the same as an electric guitar. The compact design ensures that it can fit into the smallest home studio workspace, and thanks to its cool side handles the X50CF is easy to take along wherever you go.Cutting-edge connections In a first for its class, the X50CF features individual outputs, allowing professional setups in which the sounds of specific parts are sent to their own outputs. This can be very useful in situations such as recording when you may want to EQ and process each sound separately, and for surround-sound applications. The X50CF also provides a USB connector that lets you establish MIDI connections with your computer using a single cable no interface needed. A powerful Multi mode give you 16 parts to create music with, with the full complement of effects and other settings to make complete songs using only the X50CF and your computer. 128 Multis can be saved and recalled, with 16 preloaded covering many common music styles and genres.The X50CF also comes with editor/librarian software that makes it easy to create and organize sounds using your computer. Two versions are provided: a traditional stand-alone application and an innovative plug-in version (VST, AU, and RTAS formats supported) that can run within your DAW and MIDI sequencing software. Both versions are colorful, graphic-rich, and provide a wonderful interface for working with the X50CF in all its modes.Now Bundled With 7 Cutting Edge Software Products!
