about D-50

Roland D-50 was released in 1987. This synth was Roland's response to the extremely

popular Yamaha DX-7, however it sounded totally differently and was much easier to use.

Although it's a digital synth, it still used real analogue filters, which disappeared in the

following D series. That's why D-50 sounds so fat and beautiful. A real all-time favourite!;-)
