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.

to warren: your problem is caused by the empty battery. It is soldered, so it needs replacement by a qualified technician, but until then, you can turn it on, reset it and use it normally, until power off. To reset it, turn it on, press SEQ + CARD + DEMO simultaneously and follow the screen messages.

Hey I have a v50 for sale I haven't really played it because I don't know how to use it cause I can't turn off the drum kit while the piano sound plays. If anyone can offer any technical assistance that would be lovely or better yet buy this thing let me know.

no longer for sale we decided to implement it into my new band, got it hooked up to a moog low pass filter, it was good before, brilliant now. Also using a program called p - farm to edit it. Check it out p farm v50 owners, its free and can randomly come out with great sounds!
