About this deal

Casio CT-X5000: Casio’s 61-key arranger keyboard has twin 15W speakers, phrase pads and is compatible with the Casio Music Space app. The EK-50 L delivers limitless enjoyment and best-in-class sound with immediacy and ease. Powerful speakers deliver twice the power The EK-50, KORG’s popular and approachable bread-and-butter keyboard with automatic accompaniment, is now available in a specialised model. It's equipped with high-volume speakers that can meet the needs of performing in a café or a small event on its own, without relying on a PA system. With automatic accompaniment to instantly turn your playing into an entire ensemble, the EK-50 has become a go-to instrument for both beginners as well as advanced players. The EK50 L has the same great features, but double the speaker power. It has a specially designed speaker system that capable of delivering twice as much volume (*) as the EK-50, so you don't have to rely on a PA system. Like the EK-50, it can run on batteries, making it easy to take on the road for performance. Interface-wise, the ‘turn on and play’ test was passed - a press of the power button and seconds later I had the default Grand Piano setting beneath my fingers, although for a main acoustic piano voice this had what I felt was a slightly electronic, Yamaha CP-80-esque tang to it. This state can be returned to at any point by pressing the red Grand Piano button on the control panel.

Yamaha PSR E473: 61-key arranger keyboard from Yamaha that features a USB interface, groove creator and over 800 tonesThe EK-50 L comes with an entire music software bundle. "Ozone Elements" not only lets you create songs but also features AI-powered mastering, "Skoove" helps you improve your keyboard skills, and "Reason Lite" is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) so you can immediately jump into recording your own music. Also included are software synths from KORG and other brands. This means that as soon as you get your hands on this keyboard, you'll have access to all the tools you need to begin creating the music you want to create. Video

Elsewhere, the Split button toggles between conventional auto-accompaniment mode (where you shape chords with your left hand and solo with a separate voice in the right hand) and shaping the chords by whatever you’re playing anywhere on the keyboard. If the Split button is not turned on, the whole keyboard will be used to identify the chord you’re playing, but when engaged, only the left portion of the keyboard will trigger the chord recognition. The adjacent Ensemble button harmonises the right hand melody part according to the chord shape your left hand is holding. This is a fairly common feature on arranger keyboards, but the implementation here is excellent. Korg i3: Moving more into workstation territory, the slimmer-profile i3 adds more sounds and an onboard sequencer to the EK-50’s existing feature set.
