Some Details:
"The D-50 combines 8-bit PCM samples with "LAS" synth-generated sounds and is capable of unique, complex and beautiful sounds. The PCM samples contained the attack transients, while the rest of the sound came from the Linear Arithmatic Synth (LAS) section which sounds very analog, with subtractive-style synthesis and low-pass-resonant filters. The D-50 is great for new and non-acoustic, percussive, ethereal and beautiful pads, & sounds and the electric piano and organ sounds are in a class all of their own. It has a built-in chorus, digital reverb and a joystick controller for real-time timbre manipulation (bending the sound). It is a very lush, warm-sounding and versatile synth.
The D-50 spawned a whole line of D-Series synthesizers from Roland and many of the features introduced in the D-50 in 1987, can be seen in newer Roland keyboards like the V-Synth and Fantom Series."
