The EA7 has one-push transpose. Dedicated buttons very near the left hand, next to octave shift. _________________________ DonM

Fran Carango Senior Member Registered: 05/26/99 Posts: 9673 Loc: Levittown, Pa, USA	G70 one touch transpose. G70 does everything right.. it is the pro choice.. Edited by Fran Carango (09/02/19 01:14 PM) _________________________ www.francarango.com

Exactly the same sound engine... they added the media audio player... problem is you can only have 99 songs in the folder.

Exactly the same sound engine... they added the media audio player... problem is you can only have 99 songs in the folder. 99 songs?..Who cares when you use a laptop for Mp3 songs, lyrics, etc, ...and frankly the Pa50 series sound engine is really good if you know how to adjust the sound... just like my Micro arranger kb.. It's the player NOT the keyboard !!!.... I have heard many Genos/Pa4x players that even though they have the TOTL units much improvement is needed in their keyboard skills.. which is ALWAYS heard with your ears. Here's a few KORG Micro Arranger demos I made a long time ago out of the box.. https://app.box.com/s/bc0zhbp7v0rwjrswsmi6hhghx2ngci81 https://app.box.com/s/h7blbcdww74d7ik5qb87dni7bksrx0ta Edited by Dnj (09/02/19 02:18 PM)

montunoman Senior Member Registered: 10/20/09 Posts: 3208 Loc: Dallas, Texas	I'm very interested in the EK-50 myself. I'd love a battery powered KB for certain situation for sure. In fact I have the Korg Micro that I bought from Donny, it has served me very well, but I'm willing to trade it for a EK-50 if any one is game? _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache

Paul,....I'll let you know how it is, I too like that it is AC/& Battery powered if necessary.The M-Audio 49 key-station is gone. I have a KORG EK-50 coming here in a day or so. I'll try to do some more demos using the EK50 too.
