1988 Roland D-50 Linear Synthesizer w/ Sound Card SN 814304

via SYNTH CITY Reverb

Note auction links are affiliate links. See the site's privacy policy for more info.

"The D-50 is a very interesting digital synth that combines PCM samples with Roland's linear arithmatic synthesis method, a style of digital subtractive synthesis. The PCM samples are providing the attack sound and the LAS section will ring out or sustain. In practice some very lovely and complex sounds are easy to achieve with the D-50.

This synth is in great shape and works great with just some minor cosmetic wear from its age, joystick is fully functional. Incudes AC power cable and a Studio Series 'Top 40' sound cartridge."

Arturia Pigments and MiniFreak V Synths Layered Together for Maximum Effect!

video upload by Mamotreco

"Layered up some VST synth instances of Arturia Pigments 4 and Minifreak V in Ableton Live for maximum effect. These two takes on the modern digital synth compliment each other when played on a now vintage Technics SX-PX336 digital piano with a hammer action keyboard.
#arturia #minifreak #pigments4
It has to be said that these virtual synths are expressive even when just played on a velocity sensitive only keybed. Enjoy a relaxing synthesizer interlude as we kick off the week.

ESK - Osmose with Digitone or Microwave

video upload by Metunar

"Short Demo with the Expressive E Osmose synthesizer in Midi mode. Not with MPE but with the multi channel setup. No sound from the Osmose, only from the external synth.
I tried different synths (GS Music e7, Tasty Chips GR-1, EMU Virtuoso 2000) together with the Osmose but only with the Elektron Digitone and Waldorf Microwave i got in a short time good results.
Direct recording without mastering.
Osmose Software Version 1.0.0
