roland d-50 synthesizer

I can pick one up really cheap at the p-shop $200.00.Anyone have any experience messing about with one of these?

ive found some demos that seem to indicate it has capabilities for decent sound creation- quality strings and lush pads really stood out when i listened to mp3 demos.Some one convince me just a little so i can buy it..

hardware junkie buying phase

d00d - Tango N Vectif. What more do you need to know?

someone to actually share their experience with using one- not who uses one

had a D550 which was the rack version - great synth - buy it.

i disagree.

the roland d series is really fucking limited because all the sounds are based on digital samples.

(digital native dance anyone lololol.)

you'd be better with a midid analogue, or a dx7.

just my twopenn'orth.

actually thats not true at all by a long shot.... it only uses the attacks of digital sounds (like a fraction of a second) and layers that with a pure synth tones

its wonderful for textures and pads + plus all kinds of stuff...

its not a bullshit rompler and you should read about it before you talk nonsense- (digital native dance anyone lololol.)? thats a retarded thing to say buddy

has real anolog filters as well

I bought it today

i never said it was a bullshit rompler.

ok so i made a mistake as regards the style of synthesis.

i still don't like the d50, and digital native dance is an example of the stupid useless sounds that come with it. so yeah, i stand by my 'lololol'. stupid ass sound.

i hope you enjoy it however. 200 quid though?

d50 is an excellent synth, very deep & programmable. nice fuzzy wooly sound too for a late 80s-era massproduced digital synth.

200$ is a great price btw

Your not supposed to use the presets,you simply make your own.. you have to remember the time that the synth was produced....

and its not 200 quid.. i paid $200

ah i see. 200 bucks is better than 200 quid.

i might pay 200 dollars for one.

i know when it was made.. i wanted one soooo badly at the time.

bought a second hand dx7s and never looked back.
