and 3, please read and observe the following:
Power Supply
301
• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric
motor or variable lighting system).
307
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum.
To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this
unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
352b
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience
such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch
them off.
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a
mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up in another
MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper
(when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid
the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when
circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we
regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and
Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
• Do not expose the display to strong light (such as camera
flashes), as malfunction may result.
551
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against
the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that
you periodically save a backup copy of important data
you have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI
device (e.g., a sequencer).
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in the unit’s memory or another
MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost.
Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such
loss of data.
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
557
•A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
Handling CD-ROMs
801
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM
discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean
using a commercially available CD cleaner.

Features
64-Voice Polyphony and 16-Part
Multitimbrality
The XV-5050 is a 16-part multitimbral sound generator that produces
up to 64 simultaneous polyphonic voices. It provides ample
polyphony, even with Patches containing multiple Tones.
Create Amazingly Expressive Tones
With Patches containing four stereo Tones, as well as four-Tone
instruments in Rhythm Sets—you can use up to a total of eight wave
types—the XV-5050 takes you the next step beyond Roland’s
previous generation of JV-Series modules, providing even more
precise control and allowing you to create lusher, more expressive
sounds.
Powerful Internal Effects, Including
COSM Effects
The internal effects have been completely rethought and improved.
The reverb, the XV-5050’s most central effect, incorporates the highquality SRV-3030 DSP, allowing the instrument itself to give great
spatial definition with superior, clear sound.
In addition, the XV-5050 features Multi-effects (MFX) with 90 kinds
of effects, including RSS and 3D Delay, Slicer, and Formant Filter.
What’s more, the XV-5050 also features a variety of combinations of
different effects, such as the Guitar Amp Simulator, made possible
with COSM technology; Guitar Multi, which lets you get just the
right guitar, bass, and keyboard sounds; Bass Multi, and Keyboard
Multi, all of which let you create even more powerful sounds.
Furthermore, you can use three different MFX systems when in

The XV-5050 has a USB connector on its front panel, so that you can
easily connect your computer.
Supports General MIDI system Level 2
The XV-5050 provides a mode compatible with General MIDI
System Level 2, the standard format for desktop music (DTM)
systems. The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 standards pick
up where the original General MIDI standard left off, offering
enhanced expressive capabilities and even greater compatibility.
You can play back commercially available General MIDI-compatible
song data.
Greater Expansion Possibilities with
the New-Format Wave Expansion
Boards
The XV-5050 accepts up to two of Roland’s new-format Wave
Expansion Boards (SRX Series).
All of this provides you unprecedented power in creating sounds
from a massive amount of waveform data.

Switching Modes (Patch, Performance, or Rhythm Set)
In addition to Patch mode, the XV-5050 also features three other modes: Performance
mode, Rhythm Set mode, and GM2 mode.
PERFORM (Performance Mode)
Choose this mode when using the XV-5050 as a multitimbral sound module or when
changing Performance settings.
When you press [PERFORM], its indicator lights, and you enter Performance mode.
Quick Start
PATCH (Patch Mode)
Choose this mode when playing a single Patch from a keyboard or when changing
Patch settings.
When you press [PATCH], its indicator lights, and you enter Patch mode.
RHYTHM (Rhythm Set Mode)
Choose this mode when playing Rhythm Sets from a keyboard or when changing
Rhythm Set settings. XV-5050 Rhythm Sets can be used in any Part in a Performance.
You can also select the desired multi-effects for a Rhythm Set.
When you hold down [SHIFT] and press [PATCH], the [PATCH] indicator blinks,
and you enter Rhythm Set mode.
GM (General MIDI 2 Mode)
Choose this mode when using the XV-5050 as a General MIDI 2 compatible sound
module.
When you hold down [SHIFT] and press [PERFORM], the [PERFORM] indicator
blinks, and you enter General MIDI 2 mode.
General MIDI is a set of recommendations that standardizes the MIDI capabilities of
sound modules. Sound modules and music files that adhere to the General MIDI
standard bear the General MIDI logo ( ). Music files bearing the General MIDI
logo can be played back using any General MIDI sound module with essentially the
same musical results.
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 ( ) recommendations pick up where
General MIDI leaves off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities and even greater
compatibility.
23
Playing Sounds
Issues not covered by the original General MIDI standard – such as how sounds are
to be edited, and how effects should be handled – are precisely defined in General
MIDI 2. Moreover, the available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2
compliant sound modules are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry
either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo. In some cases, the conventional
form of General MIDI, which does not include the new enhancements, is referred to
as “General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.
What is a Performance?
With Performances, you can combine a total of up to sixteen separate Patches and
Rhythm Sets to produce complex, rich ensemble textures. In other words, a
Performance allows you to produce sixteen separate sounds with a single XV-5050.
A sound module that can simultaneously produce multiple sounds – such as the XV5050 – is called a “multitimbral” sound module.
What is a Rhythm Set?
A Rhythm Set is a group of percussion instrument sounds. Since these sounds are
not typically used for performing melodies, it’s not necessary to play them at
different pitches across a keyboard. However, it is important to be able to play a
number of percussion instruments at the same time. A Rhythm Set lets you play
different percussion sounds by pressing different keys on your keyboard.
24
Playing Multiple Layered Patches (Layer)
The collected assignment of Patches or Rhythm Sets to the XV-5050’s sixteen Parts is
referred to as a “Performance.”

Playing Different Patches In Different Areas of the Keyboard (Split)
In a Performance, you can divide the keyboard into separate ranges and assign a
different Patch to each range. This can be done by selecting the same MIDI reception
channel for multiple Parts and then changing the pitch range over which each Part
plays. This type of keyboard setup is referred to as a Split.
A split is like a layer in which the Parts’ pitch ranges don’t overlap (Playing Multiple
Layered Patches).
