Korg Introduces Limited Edition X50 And Microkorg Keyboards
Designed to help players better express their individuality and style, Korg unveils special limited edition versions of its popular X50 and microKORG synths. Each new model has a distinct look that offers players a unique stage presence as well as built-in collector’s value.
With aesthetics that are both retro and contemporarily hip, each synth features a bold design: the body of the Limited Edition X50 (X50-CF) is covered in a camouflage finish, and the Limited Edition microKORG (microKORG-BK) features vintage-style, reverse-color keys (the black and white colors are reversed). Both keyboards provide the same functions and features as their regular line counterparts.
