Yamaha V50 Demonstration - 4OP FM synthesis workstation with PCM drum samples

Demonstration of the songs made on the Yamaha V50 synthesizer workstation. This synth has the famous fm sound chip but this is an improved version of the TX81Z rack synth. Imagine the excellent sonic characteristics of the DX11 synthesizer or TX-81Z sound module with an improved sound chip. 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 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!
