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!
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?
