Post by Guy Rowland »

Another day, another tempting bit of vintage classic Roland gear for a tempting price (until March 3)

Considering that the hardware version cost me $2200 back in the day…

One of my favorite synths from back then, and I have many fond memories of playing and recording with it. Can’t recall what it cost here in Canada, but yes, I think it was well over $2000. Definitely interested and will check this out. Thanks, Guy.

Yeah, it was my first digital synth. I tried a demo a while back but I couldn't get the same "feel" for it as the first time I tried it in a store. I'll pass and let the memory linger :)
Time is life, use it wisely.

I used the D50 plugin on an overdub session a few weeks back and it was just the ticket... even though I have many similar patches in the XV and Zenology plugins, as well as my FA06 (and now Jupiter XM... I got a lot of Roland stuff...) the patches on the D50 plugin usually sounded more "proper." This is mainly for the classic brass and Fantasia sounds, as you can imagine...

I remember passing from DX7 to D50 made a difference playing live, much more full and satisfying. Gave it away for free a couple years ago, it was lying in my basement unused... the plugin is attractive, if the sound is good
