@@Examigan Yes, it has all those factory presets (PN-D50-00) built-in, also includes presets from PN-D50-01 to 04. These presets are also included in the new Roland Boutique D-05.
I like your playing, Mr. Ujiie-san! Your chords are incredibly complex, but rarely dissonant - they're so uplifting! Your style reminds me of the short tunes played before The Roland D-50 is the essence of a digital hybrid (PCM+Subtractive) synthesizer. Like another commenter said, I always found these kinds of sounds very Christmassy. They're simultaneously warm and cold, both obviously electronic and full of the breath and airiness of acoustic instruments. It's both organic and synthetic, and since electricity is a force of nature - why not both? These sounds are so iconic that the General MIDI standard literally requires imitations of them in every compliant keyboard. These sounds remind me of a hidden nostalgia both for a time I was never alive, and for as long as I've been alive and aware of pop and video game music - they're everywhere, but you don't hear them as often.
i fell in HOPELESS LOVE with the D-50 when i was released. nothing sounded like it and nothing since. I always felt it sounded like CHRISTMAS. i cant explain why. it had this ICY sound which you could layer on its Digital Warmth, it was by far the most Wide Ranging of all the synths up to its release and it was a huge hit. it is good for evolving dizzying textures. this video sure brings back those memories.
This is an excellent channel. Demos are always very good with excellent commentary. The sounds this unit produces are excellent even by today’s standards.
This Synthesizer Roland D-50 is far the best and I give credit for all the engineers and engineering that went into making this. I still have mine and use this for composing my music.
You can name a Top 40 hit with each preset of the Roland D50. It really became Roland flagship synth for a full decade. It was my first professional level synthesizer.
It's the sound of British Television in the 1990s because it (along with a few other Roland units) are what the BBC used for music production for pretty much the entire decade.
It was my first pro-synth as well! As a teenager, I worked for an entire summer and saved enough to either buy a used car or a used D-50 with a stand and a 200w Peavy amp. Never regretted my decision once!
Thank you Ujiie-sama for your great videos, I have heard some of the most beautiful sounds from your playing. Hearing your playing reminds me of the magic of piano and keyboards. Thank you
Well, if Roland introduced the D-50 in 1984, they would've made a splash, no doubt. However, having 1MB of onboard samples in 1984 would have been totallly prohibitive. Such instrument would have to cost probably around $5,000 in in 1984. But yes, Roland fired back with the D-50 in 1987 which was right about the same time as Yamaha introduced the DX7II. So yeah, Roland fired back a the DX7II, and very successfully at that.
Ironically, because of the very expensive ROM memory back in 1987, they made a very tastefully designed instrument. It has all a synthesizer should have, which is saw and square wave generator with variable pulse width and ring modulor, and it has 76 short samples (some looped spectra) sprinkled all over, but in very tasteful manner, again. That's what makes this instrument so particularly beautiful. Now, with more ROM and RAM than brains, we get products that we get...
The V-synth and VariOS can emulate a D-50 when you use the VC-1 card. They're said to be able to perfectly replicate its fuzzy sound. The D-50 isn't a ROMpler, by the way. It has a stand alone synthesizer engine that's pretty powerful. Most patches available online don't contain samples. The Roland D-70 is a ROMpler, though. It shares many samples with the D-50 (it can play Digital Native Dance too).
hahaha! 4:32 those little drum beat sounds.....very Roland. I have a cheap old Roland E-30 that I use for a MIDI controller and it has a similar sound onboard called "one note jam"....sounds a lot like that, but they removed the pitched portion of the patch.
The sounds of the Roland D-50 were OUT OF THIS WORLD back then. I don't think it sounds outdated by today's standards, but all you need to do is add it to your DAW like a MIDI controller or something and just buy some VSTs that adds some realism to the atmospheric feel of the D-50.
The D50 is unique. I have used one on many occasions and "OK Chorale" still gives me shivers. IThe keyboard is a real solid brick of a machine, and nice looking too, but very heavy. If you are looking to get one for the sounds, get the D550 module as the MIDI is a lot more responsive.
AztecWarrior707 Im awaiting the D-50 PN-00 sound card as my D-550 doesnt seem to have that on it soon as i get the sound card ill be playing things like the opening of Faith by George Michael,church music etc. The cathedral organ is like a huge pipe organ that has been squeezed into a keyboard.
yes the pn-00 contains the original factory patches, and yes you can download all the banks from the Roland cards and transfer them using "midi-ox(PC)" or ."sysex librarian (MAC)" i use sysex librarian, you can also back up your sounds from your d50 before you install the new banks, i always back up before loading new banks
At 4:27, that is "Digital Native Dance", the most beautiful sound patch of D-50 that I love. The percussive loop after the pad sounds like a dancing Gods and Godess.
Love this keyboard!!! remember Toto, Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Huey Lewis and the news .. Sounds as Living Calliope, Horn section, Fantasia, Digital native dance, Slow rotor, futur pad... This keyboard is a Legend!!
Auralaffinity is right. Everywhere i was looking for patches for my micron, radias, blofeld, microkorg and many vst's that sounded like the 80's. I found some (and some really good ones), but if you are looking for 80's sounds you should buy a 80's synth! That's why i bought the Roland D50! :)
1987年頃、最初のキーボードを買うべく銀座十字屋に行きました。当時、一世を風靡したYAMAHAのDX-7は嫌いだったので、同じ頃に発売されたDX-7IIには見向きもせずに ローランドのD-50かコルグのDSS-1か散々迷ったあげく後者を購入しました。 しかしながら、D-50のプリセットサウンドは魅力的なものが多く30分も試奏してしまいました。 後にジョージ・マイケルがFaithで使用したパイプオルガンやスティングのEnglishman In New York のイントロのようなピチカートなど印象的なサウンドに驚いたものでした。
I love the D-50. It depressing though how mainstream public reacts to it. To me, the preset 24 loops based on the 76 samples in ROM, those preset loops are the least appealilng part of the istrument. They were simply equivalents of demo songs. They put demo sounds instead. And yet, moste people see the D-50 as those presets loops only. It saddens me...
Best thing is D-50 can sound 100% better than these 80s presets, bypass that PCM stuff and you have probably the warmest digital ever made (and has live oscillators like an early VA). D-50 is one of the best synths ever, not for doing PCM/Rompler stuff but for all the other things it can do and how it sounds doing them!
I like to found one Keyboard with every electric FM Pianos of Yamaha DX7, Dyno Piano of 01/W FD Korg, Roland D-50. Where can I found!? But, not expensive! Greetings from Brasil!!! Congratulations!!! You are Great!!!
Whew!.. Not sure the exact word to say about this... Beautiful? I've commented on here before but wanted to revisit this and make another comment. :) The Fantasia family of samples are my samples... They hold a special place in my heart... There's other versions of Fantasia: Fantasia 2 (bright version), and Night Vision (brighter version). :) You can find them in a program called: Acoustica Mixcraft. :)
@GNeuman I must agree synth sound technologies evolution slowed down, but now, the real developments are the interface and sequencing - take a look at monome, ableton, elektron, kaosspad, lemur - all of those greatly revolutionized the way music can be played
queens 'The Miracle' album, pet shop boys 'introspective' album...straight up...boys boys boys...a nightmare on elmstreet 4....and so many more famous sounds....that sound of the late 80's...anyone know more. ??? that sound on 4:44 is the best sound of the synth....
Enya orinoco Flow. The main sound used on it is the "Pizzagogo" patch. A famous D-50 sound. Also the Jean Michel Jarre album "Revolution" from 1988 is famous for using mostly D-50 sounds. The album starts with the D-50 "Machine run" :)
The "Fantasia" patch @ 2:20 is probably the most famous patch from this synth. I still have my MT-32 wich had a watered down version of the same synth engine I didn't quite sound as good as the real deal.
Sorry, but I am going to have to correct Katsunori San here. D-50 came out in 1987 (okay, Eric Persing had it year and a half before, but that's Eric Persing who designed factory patches and decided on what goes into D-50 sample ROM, I think...). Anyway, DX7 came out in 1983, much earlier than D-50. DX7II came out in 1987, but it was too late for Yamaha to recapture the world with yet another FM synth, so they had to go D-50 and M1 route and introduce SY77 in 1989. Breathtaking story...
hey dude all my greats you are so awesome !!! can you tell me about the name of the preset you use at 5:11min of your video ? this sound so great i love it i want it !!
A rare feature was also the joystick making dramatic, simultaneous real-time changes of various parameters possible (filter sweeps, LFO rate etc.). Unfortunately it is only used once in this video in 1 dimension (up & down).
Awesome demo. No BS twisting of knobs and making useless strange sounds. One of the best sounding synths of all time still have the little brother D550 in the rack

I bought the very first D50 sold in San Francisco in early 1987.

I bought the cheapest one 50 euro
con fuzz it’s missing the mainboard, eh? 😜

It is great fun to see your demo's! Thank you!
Great review. Had one.... Sold it... Want another one now!
I now have a D50 again!
Congratulations!
ONE OF THE BEST SYNTHS I EVER HEARD!
I had to pick between d-50 and m1r. I chose the mr1 because it was way cheaper, got it for $70 including shipping. So d-50 will have to wait :(
D-50-D-550 prices are rising fast. My D-550 has almost doubled in value since i bought it 2 yrs ago.
Paul Johnson So do I. :(
The "Future Pad" patch on the Roland D-50 synthesizer was used for the 1989 Barbour/Langley Productions synthesizer jingle.
Ironically, because of the very expensive ROM memory back in 1987, they made a very tastefully designed instrument.

6:13 Vangelis used that on the opening of Will of the Wind on his Direct album 1988.
I still have my D50 and love it. It was my main workhorse instrument for many years.
This is the video that pushed me to buy a D50!!!
Future pad at the beginning and the end of this video is just magic! Got my eye out for a good condition D-50 now.

his playing style combined with those digital sounds remind me of the outtro song to Super Mario 64
no matter what synth i hear nothing sounds better than the sy99. even new synths just dont do it like the 99 does
Thank you I am SY99
Excelente teclado!
D50 has some great sounds ever, I got the XV-3080 and it has some of it's sounds, really great stuff :)
Erasure's The Innocents album was recording mainly using the D-50 and Casio synths.
ROLAND D50 THE CLASSIC
A very good sound - even today😊
The SY77, SY99 are the D50's brothers by Yamaha. Similar algorithms but replace Substractive with FM plus other stuff.
0:04の音、ABC朝日放送の昔のオープニングの音楽に使われていましたね。
あと、障子久美さんの曲、『あの頃のように』のイントロや間奏部分にも使われてましたね。
この動画では流れてる、一緒になっているキーン！という音は、同曲では使われていないので、何かしらのエディットがされてる可能性はありますね。
