Have you tried a factory reset (restore presets)? Or ran diagnostic tests from the service manual?

The service manual in PDF is here: SYNFO - THE 20th CENTURY SYNTHESIZER DATABASE

Select SERVICE MANUAL and CONTINUE, scroll down to find XP-50 PDF download.

There are procedures to test Memory, Pitch Bend, MIDI, Sound, etc.
Also check backup battery voltage with meter.

Full schematics are available in this PDF - in case you choose to troubleshoot the problem.

Best regards,
Mike

Why do you think it is the main board?


There are many other probable causes.  I assume you checked if local MIDI on, reset to factory defaults, inspected power supply, inspected volume sliders and it's solder joints, sent midi in from another keyboard, etc?  Gate open the noise generator?


There is nothing difficult about repairs to a XP50, to a keyboard tech that does Roland.   Worth $500, so worth getting repair if the key bed is not worn out
