A Patch is a memorized keyboard setup, and the A-50 can store up to 64 different Patches. A Chain is up to 32 Patches linked together, and up to 32 differet Chains can be stored.   Data in the A-50's memory can be stored on an optional memory card or via MIDI Exclusive in an external sequencer.   A zone is an area defined on the A-50's keyboard. There are 4 zones on the A-50's keyboard.(Any zone can overlap any other zone's key range.) Each zone may have different settings for independent remote control over an external MIDI device.   The 76 note keyboard is sensitive to the pressure of individual keys(Velocity, and Polyphonic Aftertouch).   4 MIDI outputs may be muted during performance without fear of hanging notes.   Two MIDI Inputs; MIDI IN 1 and MIDI IN 2(REMOTE), are provided.   The A-50 can mix the MIDI data of the A-50 with the performance data from a sequencer and sends it from any MIDI output sockets. Also, the Song Select, Start/Stop from a sequencer (or rhythm machine) can be controlled from its front panel buttons.   For the control of Pitch Bend/Modulation, both lever and wheel type are provided.   The A-50 features three types of controllers which may be assigned to any MIDI control messages; 4 slider type controllers and button type controllers on the front panel, and 4 foot controllers (control pedal sockets) on the rear panel. Controller assignment will create subtle nuance  during  live performance.   A large LCD display(back-lit) is easy to view. You may make the display show graphic display of parameters for quicker and more accurate editing.   The Roland menu key allows you to return to the Roland Menu (initial display) from any editing display, so that you can quickly access the menu you want.   The Panic button will resolve hanging notes during performance.
