INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha V50 Digital Synthesizer. The V50 is a MIDI-
equipped synthesizer utilizing FM tone generation. In addition to its synthesizer
functions, the V50 features a built-in sequencer and rhythm machine, and can act
as an all-in- one music production system.
In order to make full use of the V50’s capabilities and enjoy long and trouble-free
use, please read this manual carefully before use.
FEATURES
Some of the V50’s many features are:
FM tone generation
Sound is produced using Yamaha’s unique FM tone
generation technology (4 operator, 8 algorithm).
One of 8 waveforms can be selected for the output
of each operator, for a wide variety of sounds.
16-note/8-timbre simultaneous notes
In single play mode a single voice can be played
with up to 16 simultaneous notes, and in perform-
ance 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, allowing you to concentrate
on your playing.
100 preset voices and performances
100 voices and 100 performances are built into the
permanent memory of the V50 covering a wide
variety of sounds from piano to brass to special
effects.
100 voice and performance memories
100 voice memories and 100 performance memo-
ries are provided for you to store your own cre-
ations.
8-track 16000-note (approximate) sequencer
In addition to the rhythm tracks, an 8-track se-
quencer is built into the V50. By recording musical
parts track by track you can build up an ensemble
of up to 8 instruments using just a single V50. Up
to 8 songs (within a total of approximately 16000
notes) can occupy the V50’s memory and be played
back in succession.
Rhythm machine with PCM-recorded sounds
A rhythm machine with 61 PCM-recorded sounds
is built in. In addition to traditional drum kit in-
struments, the 61 sounds include ethnic instru-
ments and synthesized percussion. These sounds
can be used in synchronization with the sequencer
playback.
Card slot, disk drive
Voice and performance data, and data for the se-
quencer and rhythm machine can be stored on card
or floppy disk. (However, sequencer data cannot
be stored on card.) An MDR function is provided,.
allowing you to store system exclusive data from
external MIDI devices on a V50 disk.
Micro tuning
Tunings other than the conventional equal tem-
perament can be used. Tunings such as Werk-
meister and 1/4 tone are built in, and you can
program the pitch of each key to create your own
tunings.
Performance effects
Three performance effects are built in; 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
you to use a digital effect as part of the voice or
performance data.
User-editable power-on character display
You can specify a greeting message to be displayed
whenever the power is turned on.
