Thank you very much! I’m a big fan of Gary Numan’s work and he used the Roland D-50 synthesizer extensively throughout the late eighties and early nineties. The Soundtrack patch that can be heard - for example - in the intro of America is one of the finest patches ever designed by Eric Persing and it sounds great in this particular intro.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, very much a classic! I add these kind of intros to these type of videos mainly because I’ve always felt these instruments were so beautifully designed and therefore shine a little bit of light on them! :) They were true instruments and still very much appreciated by both the original users as well as a newer generation of musicians like me. I take care of them well and cherish them a lot, trying to use them as much as I can in both old and new ways on recordings. Again, thank you for your comment and greetings from Germany. -Devin

Thanks for your comment, Michael! Great that you still have the D-50 and this is in excellent shape. It certainly stood the test of time and now it's a great classic that is still usable to this day :) Mine is from June 1987, but I bought it 30+ years later and still considerer it to be my first real ever synth. -Devin

I had a Casio FZ-1 sampling synth when it first came out (bloody expensive!) but it was unreliable and so I jumped ship to the D50 which was just astonishing by comparison. It's 'downfall' was how over-used all its patches became... those of us who owned one could literally name the patches when we heard them come up on the hits of the day :) I bought the programer unit - the PG1000 - for the D50 so that every single parameter had a slider but even then editing or modifying a patch was just SO difficult. I think that's why we stuck to playing the presets. By the time I was heartily fed up with the 'breathy chiffer' and 'shakuhachi' (along with the infuriating DigitalNativeDance) I just used the D50 to control a MAudio digital piano module that was a perfect match.
@devingademan2 ай бұрын
Hi Sam and thank you for your extensive comment! Yes, synths that had sampling ram on board were incredibly expensive in those days (i'm from 1996 so this is not from experience, but from what I have read). Here in Germany, the company Hohner basically had the same Casio engines in some of their synths, only with a different housing (for the FZ-1 there was a Hohner HS-1). The Roland D-50 was my first ever real synth that I bought 30+ years after its original release; I programmed - and still program - it just by using the screen because the original controller as you mentioned as well as one made by a Dutch company (Dtronics) weren't/aren't cheap. I'm actually a little grateful for it because in hindsight; understanding the structures that came with the D-50, made it a lot easier to program some of my other synths. Again, thank you for time writing the comment and watching the short video! -Devin

@@devingademan I bought my D-50 in 1987 one of the first batches in the UK IIRC. I wasn't really a keyboard player, more a 'sound-scaper' sort of person. But it was obvious to me, even after having had a few analogue synths and having been able to mess about with the DX-7 (which I really hated the dry, clang-y tones of!), that it was another dimension of synth. This was in terms of the sounds it could make AND the build quality. I sold my recording set up in the early 1990s as the unreliability of most of the analogue stuff (8 track tape machines, DATs etc etc) drove me nuts... I spent more time trying to make machines work than being creative. Since then digital stuff has made things easier... but I've kept it simple so while I make / set up guitars for a living, my only keyboard these days is a Roland digital piano :) These keyboards were ground-breaking in their time, back then in the mid-late 1980s when it was all Jupiters, Junos, DX-7s and E-mus :)

@devingademan2 ай бұрын
Thank you very much, Paul! Apart from kick, shuffling hi-hats, bass + some strange percussive elements from the TG500, the song includes many tracks and a few of them are made with the MVS-1 Rack unit from 1995. It's a rack version of the SR-JV80-04 Vintage Synth expansion board, I believe SRX7 (for the Fantom) contains all samples of the unit as well. It's quite great both for digital and analog sounds and some of Roland's best drummachine samples are in it as well. That's a good point! Maybe a acid mix in the future for this song! I think it I can do that. -Devin
