Playing Sounds

The XV-5050 comes with a rich palette of onboard sounds, called "Patches." Let's
listen to some Patches in Patch mode.

Playing Patches (Phrase Preview)

Even when there's no MIDI keyboard or sequencer connected, the XV-5050 allows
you to audition sounds using a number of prepared phrases that are perfectly
matched to each Patch (category).
