The internal sequencer has 8 tracks, with an approximate capability of 16,000 notes shared between maximum of 8 songs at a time.

Users can also let the rhythm play while simultaneously changing the voice/performance patch, allowing for uninterrupted experimentation and live performance.

The FM synthesis provided by the sound module is based on 4 operators that can be chained by selecting one of the 8 available routings, called algorithms.

The synth is essentially two Yamaha TX81Z modules, with a few minor tweaks including a fixed-frequency mode that can go much lower.

One common way to use this feature is to include several instances of the same instrument while detuning each of them slightly to create a "thicker" or more lively sound.

The V50 has both a double density 3.5" floppy drive and a memory card slot (MCD64 or MCD32) for storing and retrieving user- or third-party-created content.
