Roland D-50 LA Synthesis Classic 80's Synthesizer + PG-1000 Programmer

Description

Classic 80's synth in good condition with working aftertouch. Has standard presets loaded.

Comes with the Roland PG-1000 dedicated programmer and manual for the Roland D-50 (and D-550) synthesizer. The PG-1000 gives you hands-on slider and fader control over all adjustable parameters of the D-50/D-550, making sound design far more immediate and intuitive than navigating the synth's menu system alone. Midi cables included.

The D-50 completely changed the synth landscape when it was released in 1987. Powered by Roland’s groundbreaking LA (Linear Arithmetic) synthesis engine, the instrument’s potent mixture of samples, virtual analog, and integrated effects allowed programmers to produce all manner of stunning sounds never heard before. The D-50 Software Synthesizer is a perfect sonic recreation of the original in every way, allowing you to bring this giant in music history into your everyday music production environment.
