Imagine the excellent sonic characteristics of the DX11 synthesizer or TX-81Z sound module. The V50 is the ultimate 4-Operator FM synth workstation comprising 16-note polyphony, a dual effects processor (with distortion), a large dual line, backlit LCD display, a drum machine, a 16,000 note sequencer and a 3.5in floppy drive to save your songs and voices!

The DVA function and built in voice-based pitch delay are two interesting features in this synth. It's great for percussive sounds such as short bass sounds, marimbas, clavinets, etc and should one pitch an operator really high and work with the pitch bender, one gets very cool ambient effects. It's very rare yet cheap in today's 2nd-hand market and coupled with an outboard (analog) filter it makes an unbeatable digital FM synth!

The V50 has been used by Sin.

V50 have 3 instruments inside: 4operator FM module, Rythm machine (probably RX17) and dual effect processor. It is interesting features and sounds.

I used to have access to one back in the early 90's and I made a lot of my favorite tracks from back then with it. I'm looking for one now, hopefully I'll find one.

I have one of these and it's great! I may be selling it soon though to make room for more gear.

The V-50 has some unique sounds and qualities for a unit over 20 yrs old. Are there any good piano sounds available for the V-50 on floppy. Or can someone instruct me as to how to build in a great grand piano sound.
Thanks

How do you get the touch sensitivity to work ?
