Now you can upgrade the OS of your XV 5050. The version to download is the 1.08 and brings some improvements :
- more gain on the digital output (+ 6 or 12 dB)
- a temperament has been added to each performance's patch
- bugs have been fixed (as those during the change of a SRX card)
Except that you could spend up to two and a half hours to upload all Sysex files (40) into the XV... For this task, you will need a sequencer supporting midifiles or a shareware like SysEx Librarian on Mac OS X.
