Yamaha V50, Authorized Product Manual

sounds that the RX series assigns to keys outside of the
61-note range of the V50 have been assigned within the
V50 key range.
PRESET 2 has a basic drum set assigned to the third
octave (the octave begining with C3). The white keys
of octave 1 have bass drum sounds, the white keys of
octave 2 have snare drum sounds, and the white keys
of octaves 4 and 5 have toms. Percussion sounds are
assigned to the black keys. (There are some exceptions.)
PRESET 3 is set to match the key assignments of
the Yamaha Clavinova series. However, since the sounds
themselves are different, not all assignments are the same.
Normally you will select one of these presets. In the above
display, you can check the rhythm instrument assign-
ments by moving the cursor to “Key” and playing a key.
The rhythm instrument assigned to that key will be
displayed.
To create your own rhythm instrument assignment,
select a user assign memory USER 1 or USER 2.
Move the cursor to “Key”, and select a key. Then move
the cursor to “instrument” and select a rhythm instru-
ment. You can also select “none”, in which case no
rhythm instrument will sound when that key is played.
Repeat these steps to assign instruments to the 61 keys.
You can create two entirely different setups (USER
1 and USER 2).
