The D-50 was Roland's first fully digital synthesizer, and its unique sound combined subtractive synthesis with complex harmonic sampling waveforms and digital effects.

This innovative fusion of samples and synth sounds allows for a warm, dynamic analog tonality combined with the realism and flexibility of digital technology, expanding the possibilities for sonic creation. We have opened up a new world for you.

Released in 1987, the Roland D-50 mixed a sampled attack with a synthesized waveform sustain, and its sound, which made full use of built-in chorus, reverb, and EQ, had a huge influence on music in the late 80s. I did.

Its sound can be heard in a wide range of genres, including synth pop, new wave, R&B, and soundtracks.

The D-50 has been reprinted and sold in software and boutique series, but the sparkling sound is still unique to the original D-50.
