Re: OT: The Yamaha V-50

2000-10-21 by jondl@jdlx-musique.com

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 ;-)

Here are some reviews at Harmony Central http://www.harmony-

regards,
Jon
