The D-50 completely changed the synth landscape when it was released in 1987. To this day is remains just as popular as the day it was released, and remains many players' and producers' favorite digital synth.
Originally released as a competitor for Yamaha's DX7, the instrument’s potent mixture of samples, virtual analog, and integrated effects allowed programmers to produce all manner of stunning sounds never heard before with the help of Roland's groundbreaking LAS (Linear Arithmetic Synthesis) technology.
This thing is absolutely jam packed with fun sounds and presets, as well as on-board chorus and reverb to give your pads space and life. What's that? A joystick too? Yep, you can use that little guy to manipulate the timbre of your notes in real time. In the 21st century when we have DAWs with programmable automation, that may not seem like such a big deal, but back in '87 it was revolutionary.
