Roland D-50 Celebration Moments with Adrian Scott

Fantastic video. Would love to hear Adrian talk about the D50 even more

loved the D50, well till the KORG M1 came along.
The Roland jd8000 did come back to take the crown though

they don't make them like they used to :-)

worked on it for many years.brand new one as D 05 is coming :-)

Love it! Incredible synthesizer. Used to have a D-20 and D-110 and also used to play the D-50 in my childhood church and in concerts. Love it! I think I will purchase the D-05 when I have the opportunity to do so!

I do not understand why this synthesizer is praised by factory sound when it has other fantastic sounds and can create millions more

The pair of trembling hands in this video make it bittersweet. So much experience, a pair of hands that contributed to synthesis history, slowly succumbing to age, as we all must. Yet they STILL hit those keys in the proliferation of gorgeous, dreamy sounds. I salute you, Mr Scott!

Memories are made of one of these.

Typical Roland Boutique sound. A convincing coy of the original, surely its lacking the depth and the punch of the the original instrument. I wonder when this trend for tiny musical instruments will pass. We musicians deserve instruments with relatable sizes.
Dont need VSTis in tiny controllers.

The patch you hear in the beginning is on Prince's Lovesexy album

Sorry, I can't catch how many patches you chose from, all I hear is "warwarwartwenty"...

Whoa, I just heard the Sony PS1 boot-up music in the end there

Adrian, I am a big fan of Roland. I am wondering if Roland going to bring back the G70 arranger's? if Roland is to bring it back please incorporate the features with the fantom G engine. thank you

Didn't know Mike Ehrmentraut was into synths :P just kidding. Good video :)

this makes modern synth its bitches...lol

CRAP! Now I gotta get a D-50!!

Absolutely LOVE the stories behind these iconic sounds, this was a joy to watch.

The best keyboard roland D50 I just bought a roland D50 my self my cousin uses it on his international pop band Persian style such a nice keyboard there will never be one like it it’s a special keyboard the best

Still have the actual hardware D-50 and the cloud version.. always fascinated by the sounds of this legendary Roland..

Where can i bye it?

A horrible synthesizer with horrible choppy keys, terrible attack, crappy samples, nasty aliasing, terrible effects, horrendous pianos, electric pianos and organs. The pads, flutes and horns were good but that’s about it. Glad I saw through the hype and sold mine after solid dissatisfaction. I’ve never looked back. It’s a horrible synth and it hasn’t stood the test of time

The Yamaha DX7 has killed the D-50 a million times over and is still used in studios around the world. The D-50 just sits in storage in most studios

I wouldn’t take a D-50 for free

Video starting music is mj dirty Diana n elm street nightmare 4 theme

These instruments were a revolution. The DX7II and the D-50. I think my two favorite instruments. And I never stopped liking them. VZ-1 was also very good. Very advanced. Kawai K5, as well.

Bought one for a fortune; sold it for a song. Winners are grinners and I ain't grinnin'. Loved the Syn Harmonium patch on it. I think it was a dual sound.

Grew up on this keyboard along with the DX7...memories!!!

THANK YOU!!!

very good memories with d50 ! love it !

what a great product with such strong narrative, glad to have one ...

ULTIMOS "TRES DIAS" de PrOmOciOn a MITAD de PRECIO!!!

The flutist brass was one of my favorite sounds. But all the sounds on this board were unique

Thank you, Adrian Scott.

I love my D50, such a fantastic instrument, and with the PG1000, great fun to programme too!

Cool video and history lesson! I enjoyed it very much.

That's quite a legacy. We salute you, dear sir.

Theres something bout those british synthesists

Oh yes. I still have mine, and love it. And helps me composing my music. 🎶

Anyone out there can help? A D10 owning friend of mine wants to do some sound editing on it. However, the PG-10 programmers are rare and very expensive. There used to be commercial editing software - anyone have a copy for sale? Alternatively, how difficult is it to set up SysEx commands from a DAW such as Nuendo? Any help greatly appreciated.

Man!
The D-50 along with the DX7 built the base for the modern music. What a phenomenal instruments.
Gotta pay respect to the M1 too.

i have one for a few years it was in top condition perfect for covid lockdown it was ,sounds so good i love it

The staccato heaven preset from the D50 is also the same as Yamaha's sweet heaven voice found on their PSR keyboards and DGX/clavinova digital pianos

My favorite Roland. Love mine and got her an HCard-750. Absolute bliss. Buy one of you can find one.

Evidently this guy programmed the sounds for the D-50. My progression: DX7, D-50, Proteus 1. Each one an improvement over the last. Used but never owned the D-70, 76 keys. I now see the D-50 boutique & just straight up SW plug-in. But on the keyboard shown here, I brought mine home, plugged in Sony headphones and hit a single key and realized I had a canvas for art.

Flutish Brass reminds me of the Philips CDI intro

The d50 sounds more 80s than the dx7.

Oops, these cheesy presets certainly did not age well... Indeed, when I got my D-50, I immediately threw away those awful presets and created my own with sustained waveforms. That's when the D-50 truly shines.
