xv-5050

Post by samuelson »

anyone like the xv-5050 and does anyone have as srx card in it? I'm hoping to use this for some horns and B-3 sounds as well as piano for our cover band. I plan on using my A-90 to control this and a JV-1080.

anyone have any comments on using the xv-5050?

I have an XV-5050 and I'm selling it. It's a decent rack unit and the SRX boards work just fine...fully controllable via MIDI. I'm considering getting an XV-5080 for the expanded polyphony, more expansion slots (4 SRX, 4 SR-JV), expanded controls/effects, sampling, and more patches. The patches of the 5050 didn't floor me, but I'm sure with some tweaking they'll sound fine.

The 5050 is mostly a sound-module. Will it work good in a cover band? Sure...I used mine in a cover band, and 5050's are selling for around $350 used on Ebay.
