Bought this years ago for my daughter, and can't remember about the internal vse the read only card. Seems like I borrowed a book and made a lot of other sounds in the internal. Did the internal have the same programed sounds the read only card had but allowed you to make changes internally? after years of sitting the battery died inside and I lost all internal sounds. How do I get them back?

The D-50 is definitely one of the cooler 80s/90s synths, and like you said, it was groundbreaking for its time. A friend of mine worked in a pawn shop and one came in - keyboard player needed money, so he sold his synth. Well my buddy snatched it up for $200. I borrowed it from him for about a month and he offered to sell it to me for like $400. You know I still kick myself for not buying it, right?

@@TheB1gduk Old digital synths are built like tanks, often out of solid metal (the D50 has a metal chassis underneath). If they've lasted thirty years already then they'll last thirty more. DX7s from 1983 for example have only needed a battery replacement to keep working to this day. The D05 meanwhile is made of plastic and uses a switching power supply Instead of a transformer like the original, and switching supplies will need new caps long before a transformer fails (if it ever does); plus the D05 is all surface mount components where older units are through hole; maintenance will be a nightmare when it eventually needs it. Not saying the D05 is bad (again, I tried to buy one), but saying it'll outlive an original D50 is probably not true.

Have had mine since late1988, still a very useable synth. Backup battery just died and it dumped internal memory with several collected and custom patches. It’s backed up in three places....now where are those three places 😂

This Synth is one of the holy grails, if you sell that, you maybe never become a D-50 back or you must pay a lot of money to get it back. Maybe not that expensive like a very rare Jupiter-80, but a D-50 has also a bit of a price. And why should you sell it?! The D-50 is still a great device nowadays, with great sounds to produce or make live music or just to have fun.

@WH3 3 жыл бұрын

I have the D-05 and it's a great addition, but I don't think the vintage D-50 will appreciate much because the Roland Cloud, System 8, and Zen Core hardware can all replicate the sound exactly, it was digital to begin with.

@paulflaherty7413 3 жыл бұрын

I recorded some of my earliest stuff on a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder using a borrowed Roland d-50 and my Akai ax60 . My ax60 handled some of the base and lead stuff but d-50 had such a lush sound that it filled all the middle. my favorite presets were spacious sweep and the glass voices. I thought about getting a used one but I was very happy to get the boutique version instead.

Just checking this vid as I've recently added a Roland D-110 to my Acid House live rig, absolutely loving it, had a track prepped and got it sitting in a treat almost straight away. Always been a fan of the DX synths, had the 100 for years and now own the 21 but I'm really kicking myself for having ignored the rack mount Roland LA synths for so long. Love your channel btw, always great content!

Souvenir of China was recorded in 1981. The D50 sold from the year ‘87 to ‘89. Impossible that Jarre used the D50 for that track.
