	Roland D-50 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The engineers at Roland determined the most difficult component of a realistic instrument to simulate is the attack, so the D-50 included almost 100 sampled attacks in ROM.
		The external Roland PG-1000 Programmer could also be attached to the D-50 for better and more complex control over sound manipulations.
		The polyphonic, 61-key, Roland D50 was released in 1987 to compete with the Yamaha DX7 market.

	Roland Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		1987 - Roland D-50: One of the most popular digital synthesizers; Roland's first all-digital synthesizer implementing their "Linear Arithmetic" synthesis (a form of sample-based synthesis combined with subtractive synthesis).
		Roland was not, as is often claimed, named after the French epic poem La Chanson de Roland.
		Roland discontinued the original SAS in 1990 when Advanced SA was introduced.

		A classic example was the Roland D-50 patch "Fantasia", which features a percussive, bell-like attack to a sustained pad sound.
		Roland called these PCM samples and generated waveforms "Partials", not refer to be confused with the term used in the sense of harmonics.
		A digital synthesis method developed by Roland in the 1980s that creates sounds by attaching the attack portion of a sampled waveform to one or more internally generated waveforms.

		It culminated in LA synthesis, and Roland D-50 is the first LA synth.
		Roland TR-626 is the last of Roland TR series drum machines, and was released at around the same time as MT-32.
		Roland turned to romplers with real digital filter since D-70 in 1990, JD / JV series were released subsequently, and they became one of the standard in the rompler world.

	Roland D-50 Synthesizer
		In Roland's terminology, this system is called LA synthesis (Linear Arithmetic), but what it really means is completely beyond my understanding.
		I don't know if this is true, but I have read somewhere that they are a result of an accident created when a Roland programmer messed up in the ROM programming and ended up with a sound he liked...
		This synth has become a true classic instrument, and its sound can be heard on a vast number of recordings, from Enya (the main pizzicato theme in "Orinoco Flow") to Jean-Michel Jarre (that looping sound in the beginning of "Revolutions").

	ENSONIQ SQ-R: Related Models
		The sound of D-50 and other Roland LA synths (see MT-32 page) is also characterized by its breathy waveforms called "Spectrum." Some of VFX / SQ's "Inharmonic" waveforms has similar breathy impression, and it makes VFX / SQ even closer to D-50.
		Roland D-50 is the first synthesizer with Jam Loop - different samples looped and played back.
		As being a sampler-synth, Kurzweil K2000 and Roland W-30 can also do this.

		By booting up the V-Synth with the new VC-1 D-50 Card, the V-Synth is magically transformed into Roland’s popular D-50 L/A synthesizer—including full programmability and all the original presets.
		Roland’s V-Synth is already regarded as one of the most innovative synthesizers on the market today, thanks to its unique combination of analog modeling, PCM synthesis with VariPhrase® control, and COSM® processing.
		Roland is a world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of electronic musical instruments, professional audio equipment, multimedia products and music accessories.

		Roland D-550 is the rack-version of D-50 and share its specs.
		The choice was a Roland D-10 which was hooked up (via MIDI) to an Amiga 500 which was running some sequencing software (I don't remember the name - but to a poor student like myself it was expensive ).
		The PC based approach had me consider Roland's VariOS but also "Great sounds" was a must, so therefore I was also considering Roland's V-Synth.

	Roland D-50
		After the unmitigated disaster of the JX-10 and MKS-70 in terms of sys-ex implementation and remote editing, the D-50 was the first synthesiser to implement the "memory map" model of parameter and patch storage, undoubtably one of Roland's smart ideas.

		And, typically for Roland, the factory presets were superb, with such patches as Soundtrack, Living Calliope and DigitalNativeDance establishing a pop-cultural landmark and setting a standard for subsequent keyboards for years to come.

	Kawai K1m Synthesizer Module
		The K1 was following the footsteps of the likes of Roland D-50 in using PCM samples of acoustic instruments combined with more synthetic waveforms to create its sounds.
		Four samples are used to create a single voice - similar to the "partials" of the Roland D-50 architecture.
		Some of the 8-bit samples onboard are the attack portions of many acoustic instruments, and some are looped waveforms of many different colors and flavors.

		Additionally, having total control over the musicians became key in my pursuit of my next project, and hence Gridlock was born with a Korg hardware step-sequencer, Roland D-50, R-8 drum machine, and my 4-track as a mixdown deck/mixer.
		The D-50 became the cornerstone of the Gridlock sound, and was used as heavily on the 1st demo as it was on Formless.
		I also bought a Roland Juno 106 off Ebay, but the seller totally lied about it's condition and it took me about a year to completely rebuild it and find/order some parts that were damaged.

	Roland D-50 virtual editor
		There are two major things wrong with the interface of the original Roland D-50 (or the module D550).
		It has the same look and feel of the original device but contains many shortcuts to the functionality of the Roland D-50 and gives the programmer the same comfortable tools as the modern synthesizers.
		These considerations are currently resulting in a highly unique form of interface for the newly developed D-50 Virtual Editor.

	D-50
		Recently, Roland's own V-Synth reminded of the D-50 thanks to (in a few cases) the low-grade samples, the sonic character, and the amazing editing possibilities it offers.
		The character of the D-50 sounds is one of richness, analog mixed with crystalline digital perfection, warmth, and an overall aural beauty that's hard to follow.
		The D-50 was also the first synth to incorporate an on-board reverb/multi-fx unit, a fact that contributed to the legendary sound this synth possesses.

		Its synthesis is touted as Linear Arithmetic, which consists of layering periodic waveforms with sampled attack transients.

		I played a Roland E600 keyboard some time ago, but the sounds was too "Nightwish-like" and I couldn't change anything in patches or create lead sounds.
		11-10-2003 05:55 PM hey Shreddy you have some great keyboards you seem to have a Roland Juno too i had that too do you use that for leads how about you post some solo.mp3s on this forum.
		If you want any soundbanks to load into the D-50, I still have them all, including the card sounds (the cards are no more available).

		I'm fond of 80's music and sounds, and therefore, I love sounds which come from the most popular synths of that decade, such as the Roland D-50 or the Korg M1.
		And I was extremely surprised to hear, when watching this episode, that it actually contains some music which appears to come from those synths.

		The Roland SP-808 is more like a 4-track digital recorder with some fun things to play with, such as a built-in effects unit, the infrared D-Beam controller, and pads to record and play samples on.
		The alternative is to go the used route and get a Roland D-70 for bread-and-butter and a Quasimidi Sirius for analog.
		For bread-and-butter sounds, like acoustic instruments, Roland keyboards are a good choice.
