I loved the v 50 it's one of the good one's but I have to say new keyboards have come in the last 5 years and know I have the korg triton studio and wow it's a big gap from one to another ther are better keyboards then the v 50 for all the v50 fans if you want to get a new keyboard get the roland xp80 or 50 it's roland I know major musicians like yamaha but for worlkstation keyboard no one is better then korg triton series and I have to say the roland fantom x7 is good to but I stay 2 min on it and it's dificult to use. But if you just used for tones not for alot samples sequencer studio recorders and much more dont buy the roland or korg buy yahama motif or if you dont have alot of monny buy the roland xp 50 5octave or 80 whit 76 notes it's prety good for all thing but not for super studios and jazz men what ever and i'ts has good pianos and tones for accomp I not a professional at seq samples and studio stuff but I like good stuf that I can to more then I want I only use the triton studio for tones but I have it for 2 years and I still learn for the triton studio it's realy profesional producers stuff I guess not for me but I will be useing it when I know pro thing about it. Yamaha allways have good sound pianos but I not anymore a big fan or yamaha thanks for brainwashing you :))

i have used the v50 for 16 years and found it to be to complicated for the avarage user. but if you take the time to dig in to it. its worth the time. it is on many gold albums. have releast albums done completly with a v50 not one person could tell. its weekness is disk drive and univailiblity of memory cards. mine fell from a 8 ft stage years back and still works perfect. rock on ANGEL ROSE

My first exposure to this unit was that a friend of mine had one and we used it on some studio projects years back. I loved some of the preset sounds and performances on it, and couldn't find anything comparable anywhere else, so I found a V50 on eBay and bought it. I like to spend more time on production and don't like to get bogged down in synthesizing new sounds, so presets are critical to me. I love the machine and use it for most of my keyboard endeavors, but I would recommend not buying one unless you have a grasp of electronics and know how to open the case and replace the internal lithium battery; as was the case with my Ensoniq module, once the battery goes, you're out of business.

nice loooking keyboard, very dry, 80's sounding drum machine, the FM sounds are much better when layered in performance mode. it is well built, though mine has a dead disk drive, which appears to be pretty common with these. There is a cool program on the web called Pfarm, which can be used to create some nice FM sounds, almost by accident.

It is not a complete machine but the sound (bass and percussive) are perfect to my ear. I have never used its sequencer so no comment. It is very retro. for the the sound I give 5 for lack of knob I give 4 = 4.5 -> 5
