Much like how other XV synths compare to the 5080, it omits the sample playback function (and related connectors), less outputs, expansion slots and only 16 parts. It also has half of the polyphony, but does keep all 90 of the original multi-effects (MFX) including the JD multi effect unit, and the COSM effects. <ref>Roland XV-5050 Owner's Manual, pages 12, 177.</ref>
