The Roland XV-5050 is a cut-down 1U variant of the Roland XV-5080 meant to have been a cheaper entry point to the 5080's sound engine[1]. 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. [2]
It includes an extra preset bank (PR-H) not found on any other XV family of synths. It is also the first XV series synth to feature a USB port.
Oddities
- Although it advertises having 3x MFX slots like the XV-5080, patch mode will only allow for one MFX.
- Performance mode must set the MFX parameters for all three parts upon loading the performance, as only one MFX slot can be written to by loading different patches in the performance. Some effects will use up enough processing power to render only one effect usable globally.
- The XV-5050 has the smallest LCD display in the series (2 lines x 20 characters), even smaller than the one found on the XV-3080 (2 lines x 40 characters), making the interface even more cumbersome for editing. It is highly recommended that you use software like XV Editor for patch editing needs.
- The USB port is located on the front of the synthesizer and not on the back like most DTM.
