Roland D-50 Synthesizer: Famous Sounds Presets 

Hi Japanese person nice to meet you

Thanks for hentai :)

いくらはロシア語 im from Poland and i love JAPAN.

Thanks to Roland for making Boss changing guitar sounds!

Be proud of it! 🇯🇵

Full house

That and the DX-7

This and the KORG M1 Best Synths from different eras

@@MarcusL1995 So true*

Any 80s medical show

You have the footage, though?

I think the musical score for FFVII and VIII were played on this as well

@@alski200 Not sure about ff8 but ff7's soundtrack was entirely made on a Roland sound canvas module if I recall well.

@@cheeseco It's possible

Super coool!

SNES samples too

And only 80s used it extensively.

David Shapiro ok Ben Shapiro

Agreed. The Roland D-50 is still my favourite synth in my small collection due to its amazingly warm and lush sound that very little synths offer.

Derderderherder back in my day.

It was the first digital synth to have all of its presets buried in reverb. And every digital synth from then on was made that way :)

I learned on a d50 and I was born in a 2000

And she made the D-50 her own. Want to know what pad she used for "Boedecia" though. Sounds freaking amazing.

She literally used the Emulator III for the pads sounds.

The only record on which she did not use this was her self-titled album with the music from the Celts, since neither the E III nor the D-50 were around yet by that point.

Enya used a Roland Juno quite a bit too.

yeah, that and her great voice and beautiful songs...maybe don't forget that.

I agree! I should probably have one of these someday.

Thats not right.The Guitar sound in Miami Vice came from the Fairlight IIx and the D50 came on the market a few years later.😉

70s modulars.

Wise words, Steve! Very wise words!

Look up "? & Edna Boil's Auditions" for Rick Moranis and synths

Is that so? I had taken for granted that like so many other folks he gravitated towards the DX-7 during the 80s. The EPs certainly sound similar.

Most retro synths do

If you've got it, flaunt it!

Are you aware that Eric is adding some D-50 patches to Omnisphere v2.6, which is scheduled for a March 2019 release? I'm excited to play them! I never owned a D-50, but they sound amazing! Great job!

Ahhh...finally got the oppurtunity to thank you Sir Adrian Scott for co-creating these beautiful sounds that I and million others enjoyed so much back then.

Whoa dude! You're a legend in the shadows. Huge props for shaping music in the 80s and early 90s.

I always found Roland sounds to not get "lost" in a stage setting as compared to Yamaha of that era, or even now frankly. Also they are built like tanks, particularly the 90's era stage pianos I still use. What set the eletronics apart?

@TacoTacoTacoTaco While I agree that FM synthesis works very different to LA synthesis, it's pretty obvious why they are and have been compared to each other since their inception: because they're competing forms of digital synthesis from around the same era. Casio's phase distortion is yet another example of this, and yes, they're all quite different and produce rather unique sounds (which I think is probably the best thing about this particular era of digital synthesis), but we can still compare and contrast their different attributes. xs10tl1 was talking about how they sit in a mix, and depending on the style of music they're absolutely right, these synths have different tonal characteristics so the results will definitely vary. Your statement that "one has only sign waves, the other doesn't have any" is wrong, LA synthesis uses triangle and pulse waves. Even your previous sentence contradicts this as you said "One is FM, the other is sample partials mixed with waves." There's nothing preventing you from making patches that completely ignore the PCM samples, which is exactly what I tend to do with my D-20, as the PCM samples are such low quality that most of them don't sound very good. Both of these synths were designed for similar sounds with similar goals in mind, so it makes perfect sense to compare them.

No it's outdated

@@Chevroletcelebrity Outdated? Nowadays you have analog synths with only 2 osc, 1 lfo, 1 filter and 2 env. The D50 has *4 OSC* (saw or square both with PWM or sampled waveforms) , 4 filters, 12 envelopes (1 per partial, 1 per filter, 1 for the pitch of each partial), EQ per layer (upper and lower), TWO choruses, 6 LFOs, reverb, FM modulation (ring) for upper and lower layers... It rekts modern hardware synths. Don't judge a synth by the presets.

@@saricubra2867 no

​@@ChevroletcelebrityChevy Celebrities are pretty outdated these days too. I've got a Roland D-50 and Studiologic Sledge... Which one should I sell?

@mrtyreus0 you don't know what your talking about. someday gm will resurrect the celebrity name and make it an awesome electric sports car.

3:16 when you put in the wrong disc into ps1

omg, im crying the memories

VPanda facts ahahahahaha 😂😂😂

Heart Turn To Stone by Foreigner

How is this PS1 exactly?

No

The origional sound is from a Korg M1 not a D-50

but I guess they are kinda similar

@@oggfish Yeah i was going to say Gypsy Woman was the Korg M1 organ but this one is very similar

in this time everything was perfect: music, instrument and musician! And I love Crystal Waters !

@@oggfish Roland D-50 release: 1987, Korg M1 release: 1988. Did Roland time travel?

The D-50 came out in 1987 so if it were used on cop drama series in the '80s it would be the end of the decade. In the mid '80s you're more likely hearing a Yamaha DX-7.

And at least one "Star Trek" show...

Wrong . D50 was released in 1987. THe Big Blue is one year later.

@@fabthefab75 I was referring to Madonna's True Blue (released in June 86), not the Big Blue (released in 1988)

I bought dthe D-50 begin of this year and de Korg M1. de this one I had to repair the knobs. as wel as the knobs of my korg X5 . Now they work well and I love playing them. I would like to play with other musicians onthese synths.

Digital Native Dance was also used as one of the Macintosh Chimes of Death.

did you not mean '87?

Sóstenes Santos Ferreira which song is this ?

Any idea what that is called. Full song

The video for Don Henley - "Gimme What You Got" on You Tube has an electric piano, probably a Rhodes.

KORG's M1 says hello.

@@evanjazzista oh, yes, forgot that one. The M1 actually was a great workhorse with many sounds beyond the usual "signature" airy patches that defined the decade.

I can use that on my music

Winston Guitar The Jupiter 8 was used a lot as well.

Roland Jupiter 8

The Roland juno ds has those sounds

It’s actually 8:47

@@NiksGMD What if I told you, you're both right 😏

Exactly!!! :-) Check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zRkOdNUs2qs.html

whats so nice about the m1?? someone gifted me his M1, cause he was to lazy to sell it and he had back issues so he not wanted to bring this thing by post... :) the organs are well known in old house music, but the rest? piano was complete useless crap except dance music. guitar and some other sounds for euro dance, but thats all i think.. the keyboard had a nice action.. still one of the best to play (but very loud ;D)

F -André back in the day the allure was that it was really like the first rompler/workstation ever. People lost their minds over it. The DX7 killed analog and blew everyone away, the D50 killed the DX7 and then the M1 came along and unseated the D50 as king. You couldn’t make an e tire track complete with drum machine/sequencer on one synth back then. Having said all that. I still have my D50. Don’t have an M1!

@@kimble02 En few sentences you said it all. 100% agreed. I suppose F-andré is from a younger generation and also not in for late eighties retro sounds.

Hammond b-3, fender Rhodes !

I can see you have not listened to the Soundtrack preset of the Roland D110. It is miles away better than the D50.

Was waiting for a comment mentioning the MT-32!

Yess!

Legendary chord progression.

I didn't know she was homeless. Lol

you should see mac demarco's cover of that song

Wasn't that done on the Korg M1?

Afterthought. 8-4
