    S-50 FEATURES
    • Thc S–50 is 16 voice polyphonic.
    • The S–50’s digital filter curcuits allow you to record all sorts of sounds without affecting the quality of the sounds.
    • The S–50’s digital editing functions can modify the sampled voice without reducing the sound quality.
    • The S–50 can select a sampling frequency of 30 or 15kHz.
    • Each of the two Banks can store up to 14,4 scccnds of data when the 15kHz sampling frequency is selected.
    • The S–50’s memory can store up to 32 different Tones (=Wave data + Tone Parameters) and 8 different Palchcs (=32 Tones assigned to different ranges on the keyboard).
    • The Multi Patch Play function allows the S–50 to simultaneously play up to four Patches using four individual receive channels. This function can be effectively used for controlling the S–50 by a sequencer.
    • The 16 voices can be assigned to ihe four Individual Output Jacks in eight different ways (e.g. 8,4,2,2). This enables you to play up to 4 Tones or Patches separately through the four output jacks.
    • The S–5O can bc set up with a CRT color monitor display featuring an RGB input or a home TV set featuring a video connector, or a black and white display for a computer.
    • The sound data in the S–50 can be saved onto 3.5” floppy disk for future use.
