The V50 was a keyboard version of the TX81z, i.e., 4-Op FM synth,
that
had a sequencer, disk drive, and maybe some drum samples and/or
effects. It was out in '88 or '89 and was a lame duck competitor to
the
Korg M1 which ruled the roost in those days. Everybody and his
brother
produced a workstation as fast as they could back then - just as
everybody has an 'analog' synth in their product line these days ;-)
