Roland D-50 Celebration Moments with Legowelt

Danny Wolfers, aka Legowelt, was exposed to the sound of the Roland D-50 in the late 1980s, after hearing the synth on the hit records and film soundtracks of the day. Intrigued by the way it combined sampled sounds and synthesis, a D-50 eventually found its way into Legowelt's inner sanctum, its inner workings studied and new sounds created by exploring the synth engine’s potential for deep, powerful programming. Fast-forward to the present, and we join Danny in his home studio to talk about the Roland Boutique D-05, which in his own words adds ‘some luxurious new stuff’ to the original D-50 synth…

Thank you Roland. This and the SE-02 are the most interesting boutiques yet. Excellent choice having Legowelt demo as well

I'm always amazed by how much Legowelt can infuse his personality into a synth when he programs it.

Its weird to me thinking of the D50 as an old synth but its over 30 now. I remember being in a small music store back in the 80s and a group of about four young guys burst inside to check it out and hearing this breathy patch. Cutting edge back then!

Does the joystick of the D-05 send midi CC data? So that you can use it on a Wavestation S/R as well to control the vector?

An excellent old synth. Do U happen to know what model replaced the D-50?

The Roland D50 also comes with a burglar alarm too. In fact they all come with burglar alarms these days.

Ah...I thought he was Scandanavian, but that "Schchchchcheveningen" (pronunciation and location) is about as Dutch as you can get. Te gek! Glad this will scratch a lot of people's "nostalgic synth itch", but I never did the D50, so despite all the iconic patches from the thing (and there are some good ones), it holds a bit less interest for me. Now when someone re-releases the Casio CZ-1, I fully admit I'll be the one going disproportionately ape shit.

It's interesting that we only hear 2 of his patches: the one he demonstrates, and the bendy mono loop in the background music. Neither patch is your typical spectral-partial-attack D50-type sound. He's just using the DSP synth and digital filter. They could be patches from almost any digital synth, no? I don't blame him, who's gonna play those cheese ball glass-voice sounds with straight face?
