16-Note, 8 Timbre Simultaneous Notes
In Single Play mode, a single voice can be played with up to 16 simultaneous notes. In Performance Play mode, the 16 notes can be distributed among up to eight different voices. In addition, DVA (Dynamic Voice Allocation) mode will automatically determine the maximum number of simultaneous notes for each voice.
100 Preset Voices and Performances
100 voices and 100 performances are built into permanent memory, covering a wide variety of sounds from piano to brass to special effects.
100 Voice and Performance Memories
100 voice and 100 performance memories are provided to store original creations.
8-Track 16,000-Note Sequencer
In addition to rhythm tracks, an 8-track sequencer is built into the V50. By recording musical parts track by track, an ensemble of up to 8 instruments can be built. Up to 8 songs (within a total of approximately 16,000 notes) can occupy memory and be played back in succession.
Rhythm Machine with PCM-Recorded Sounds
A Rhythm Machine with 61 PCM-recorded sounds is built into the V50. In addition to traditional drum kit instruments, the 61 sounds include ethnic instruments and synthesized percussion. These sounds can be used in synchronization with the sequencer playback.
Card Slot - Disk Drive
Voice and performance data, and data from the sequencer and rhythm machine can be stored on card or floppy disk. An MDR function is provided allowing system exclusive data to be stored from external MIDI devices on a V50 disk.
Micro Tuning
Tunings other than the conventional equal temperament can be used. Tunings such as Werkmeister and 1/4 tone are built in, and the pitch of each key can be programmed to create individually unique tunings.
Performance Effects
Three performance effects are built into the V50 - delay, pan, and chord. Four settings of each effect can be memorized.
Digital Effects
A digital effects unit is built in, providing effects such as digital reverb and digital delay. An effect can be specified for each voice or performance, allowing the user to use a digital effect as part of the voice or performance data.
User-Editable Power-On Character Display
A user specified greeting message can be selected to be displayed whenever the V50's power is turned on.
