This synth, the Yamaha DX7 and the KORG M1 are the grandfathers of modern music and synths.
True !🎹
Absolutely
The digital version of the Jupiter 8. ( in stature). All over JMJ Revolutions album. Beautiful synth. I think people will rediscover the sounds and abilities of this synth. Everything comes back around!
Glad to have them all... serviced and in mint condition... love them still ❤
Hey ! what about the Yamaha SY 77...Korg Trinity..
Its better 2 b ur personal choice n not public..
As a kid in the 80s...I wanted the D-50 & the DX7 so bad...those two along with the Roland JD 800 were my dream keyboards back then....They all still sounds awesome.
Great synths 🎹
I had a Jd800 when it first released, expensive then. Can pick them up pretty cheap now. Also had the rack version JD990 and a morpheus.
Roland D-5 was my first real synth. A budget version of D-50 with some of the familiar sounds but a terrible user interface. I also drooled for the JD-800 for a long time until finally buying it and D-550.
The DX7, D-50, Jupiter 8, and MemoryMoog sounds defined my childhood! Whenever I listen to this stuff I start to get goosebumps and sometimes even tear up. I miss that era so much sometimes! If you grew up in a good home it was like heaven for a kid.
What a great era
Incredible is that the biggest producers come from Japan: Yamaha, Roland, Korg. All these Japanese companies created and create the most iconic sounds for the whole world. Big respect
True 🎹
Be careful as not all the companies mentioned actually have their product made in Japan. Yamaha has some of their stuff made in China. Korg is the only one that actually has a sticker on their equipment that says 'made in Japan'. Kurzweil is owned by a Chinese company (Young Chang I believe) and that's where their synth are made.
Does it matter where it's made? The important thing is where it's designed. I have a Hammond SK2 designed in Japan, put together in China. So what?
@@jeffkwells2003 true 👍
If you have a social conscience it matters a LOT! Perhaps you don't care that the Chinese use Uyghur slave labor or that the CCP has it's fingers into everything? Nobody does business in China without the CCP being in on it.
For me, this was an instant purchase. 3 minutes of playing in the store and we all said “I HAVE to have that”. My favorite keyboard on all time. Thanks!❤️❤️❤️
Totally agree!🎹
@@John_Michael2000 The D50 came out about 86 or so. A total game changer. Nothing had onboard stereo effects at the time. That alone made it a must have, but those sounds, coupled with those effects, heard in headphones at the store for the first time? Sheesh. Basically mind blowing.
Edit: a quick Siri check 1987 was the year of release. 🙂
Edit 2: Any Roland module going all the way back to the JV 1010 will make you really happy. 🙂
@@videditorEB1 Thanks for the reply. Actually I just deleted my comment because I just found out this was a late 80's creation. So my JV is actually newer. I'm going to look into adding a module. Thanks again
A tear for me when you started the intro of "Man in the mirror" from MJ.
Excellent video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏🎹
Did MJ touch you just like he touched others....
Since 87 I dreamt to have one, couldn't afford it on that time. Now the dream come back! 😊 I have to have it! Thank you for making me dream again and revive old memories....
Glad you like it!
Same, I bought a D5 at that time, my first synth
Thank goodness for the Roland boutique range, now we all have a chance at hearing and owning this glorious synth !
@@AmanoShiyaku I always wanted a Korg DW8000 but could only afford the DW6000, but it was still a great synth.
@petercarrington948 Good luck with buying a new D-05, the Boutiques were a limited serie.
I bought a D50 off a friend. Best $600 I ever spent. Such an amazing machine.
I couldn’t afford.. instead got hold of a D 5 the very first on the digital lineup..
practically tones r like D 10..only without reverb..
Later I heard my frndz D 50..n the sounds were awesome..
Great synth 🎹
The 80’s and 90’s Legend!
I’m so grateful to was gifted one.
Gifted one? So lucky :)
I was a teenager in the 80’s and was in a rock band. It amazed me that there were so many hits that were all just synths and drum machines. The only real thing was vocals.
Now even vocals are synthesized.
Without a doubt, the best showcase of D50 patches on UA-cam.
Thank you!! Appreciated 🙏🎹
Crikey I miss my D50 sold it years ago along with my DX9. Held on to an XV88 which I love for the retro sounds...
Great synths 🎹
I kept my XV3080 module for that reason, along with a lightweight portable XP30
I really miss my D-50! I had one in the 1990s and used it extensively on lots of recordings. It finally died in the mid 2000s as it wouldn't save presets anymore for some reason, and was not worth repairing. Mine was modified with an MEX expansion board that made it 8-part multi timbral and tripled the internal memory.
Wow ! Never played one with that expansion
The Roland was my young dream. It's so amazing sounds right now. But i hadn't the money in 90th in Ukraine. I'm pretty old now and have no reason to buy it, but lot of people are doing the foolish acts in my age😂
I feel you 😄🎹
Я один з тих хто такі глупості робить🤣
Well, buy it. And enjoy.
💙💛🌻🇬🇧🎶
Life’s too short for regrets, treat yourself my friend
Even on UA-cam this sounds so much better than any plugin VST I've heard
true :)
Still a unique, powerful synth, the timeless D-50
True 🎹
It is very warm sounding the Roland D50 ❤❤❤
great synth 🎹
I’m thinking Eric Persing among others had a hand in programming these warm, evolving patches.
A wonderful sound machine. So many famous tunes created with it.
Only wish I had one. 😀
Great synth 🎹
Love that Freedom intro straight into Star Trek
Glad you like it :)
Faith
"4:54" The intro to Freedom aka Faith still gives me goosebumps. Thank you. Beautiful.
Glad you like it!! Thanks 🙏🎹
Yes! And beautifully played too 🙏
@@bronxcartel6193 thank you!!
Orinoco Flow, by Enya, a great song.
🙌🎹
I used to work with a Korg M1 and Roland U20 on the 90’s , we were able to play all kind of songs, I miss to have both of them, Noe I have two Roland’s .
They are all great 🎹🎹🎵
I had the Roland W-30 workstation and Roland U-220. Amazing sounds. We also used the D-50 at live events.
Great synths 🎹
😮💨 Making me want a D-50 again. One of the first synths I ever owned.
Great synth 🎹
@@NicolasMelis do you have roland XP 30 old keyboard ?
@@diujay no i don’t why?
@@NicolasMelis xp 30 also good synth
I love my XP30! I started out with a Roland JX3P, but soon became a DX7 fan. I added a Korg DW8000 along the way. But once sampled ROM synths hit the market I went hardcore Roland again: U110, U220, JV90, XP80. Then the Motif came out, moving me back to Yamaha, where I currently reside, a Montage 6 being my most current synth. Oddly enough, I never picked up a D50 along the way.
In the song "Vanishing Point", the Roland MT-32 patch "Fantasy" was heard.
D50 is the origin of the Fantasy patch AFAIK. But Roland did include it in a lot of their sample based synths since then plus it was copied by other companies as well.
In 1992 I produced an entire album on the D50
Legendary synth 🎹
je l'ai eu entre les pattes ce synthé, je l'ai revendu... une vraie tuerie ce synthé ! 15000 francs à l'époque ou il était vendu (80/90)
How much in Euro?
@@NicolasMelis +/-2300 euros
@@lazarus8750 oh wow!
Thank you for including Vanishing Point! A rare, but brilliant track.
Glad you like it!🎹🎹
Iconic sounds!! Amazing playing! 👏👏
Thank you 🙏
Definitely some of the more iconic synth sounds from my favorite songs from the 80s and 90; s. I heard Shakespear's Sister Hello Hello intro there. Impressive. What a workhorse. The DX7 on steroids!
Legendary synth 🎹
What an awesome synth this is still
Great synth 🎹
Digital Native Dance was used on the start of the song "Mel da Sua Boca" from the brazilian band "Copacabana Beat" at 90's
Will check that one out!! Thank you 🙏
That patch is used unaltered in the beginning of David Lee Roth’s “Skyscraper” song, from the album of the same name.
I have two of these and a DX7, J8…I couldn’t let em go. Sometimes I take em outta the boxes and play em!
Great synths 🎹
The Foto of the GOAT on the desk…Great
😁 love him 🎹
My all-time favorite synth. I've owned 3 and currently still use 2 of them. Great video!❤
Thank you 🙏🎹
Fantasic! I have one in the basement and underrated it.
Its a great synth 🎹
Awesome dude! Got a D-50 a few months ago and this is the best repository of D-50 presents in pop ! Thanks dude! Well done very fun to watch
Thanks a lot! 🙌🎹
Fantastic sounds and playing. 😀😀
Glad you like it! Thank you 🙏
Sold mine mint example back in 2017, missed it, didn’t have the space for another so bought a D05 and love it! Such a great sounding synth
It is yes! Does the d05 sound the same?
@@NicolasMelisabsolutely
@@marcnelson8986 good to know! Thanks
Amazing really - many of the sounds strange all that; it's the composition that makes transforms them, like a kind of magic. Nice job. 👍
True!! Many thanks 🙏🎹
superb playing, bringing back memories of quality gear and music.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you🙏🎹
Bought one of these for $5 at a flea market in the early 90's. I loved it so much
$5!? Wow
@@NicolasMelisThe guy didn't know if it worked or not, and it had pop or something in some of the buttons. It worked, and I got it cleaned.
@@PlasticCogLiquid amazing deal!
@@NicolasMelisIt eventually got lost in a "shipping mistake" :D I'm still sad and that was 25 years ago
Bummer!!
great demo, thanks! time to fire up my D-50 and have some fun - also thanks for including the names of patches
Thank you!! Have fun 😊🎹
Magical sounds, great playing as always!
Gotta check my Wavestation today.
Glad you like it! 🎹
Eu tive um desse nos anos 90!🙌🎹👏
🙌🙌🎹
Замечательно Красиво 👍🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Thank you 🙏🎹
Eric Persing had a lot to do with the design of this synth. I remember reading about when he introduced it at NAMM. He pressed a key on the unit with the Digital Native Dancer patch loaded and everyone’s jaw dropped.
It was very revolutionary back then
omg - this soooo brilliant - thanks for taking us to 80's
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🎹
We used this heavily on KIDS Incorporated as well as the Yamaha DX-7.
Great synths 🎹
Mostly 88-90 tunes. Great memories. Nice demo. 1:26 Eric Clapton is one of my fav intros ever (even had the "Journeyman" CD). I have the D-10, it sounds thinner (not bad either).
Mine too! thanks 🙏🎹
I didn't even know that so many familiar sounds came from the D-50. good keyboard player :)
Yes!! And there are so many more but i couldn’t find the presets, they are not available online anymore i think
C in China, all our childhood ! So rare to see a cover of it. Made in Belgium, our country.
Glad you like it 🎹
Quel plaisir d'entendre ces sons j'adore ❤️
Glad you like it 🙏🎹
Glad to see Vanishing Point by New Order make the list. It's easily one of their best songs.
I found it when i was researching about the d50 songs :)
What an absolute beast of a tune, incredible stuff
Great memories from an even greater keyboard. Thanks for posting and sharing 👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🎹
I have the D-550 (and a PG-1000) that I no longer use, but can't bear to let them go.
Why don’t you use them?
I almost never warmed to the D50😊, 1 used to play as a buddingsession keyboardist with a few bands at a leading hotel in Africa, mid-late 90's, who had the D50: it felt to me rather "detached/spiritless" compared to the DX7. However suprisingly the rest of the band/audience seemed to like it (or my playing ;)😘) as it seemed we were doing a good thing together as the band, I remember someone made a demo while we were freestyle jammimg live before starting the night show , only then did I hear firstly how it did sound good, but also how actually good (as a band) we were playing. Great respect for these pioneering instruments
Great synth!! 🎹
This is totally my childhood.
🙌🎹
Fantastic!
Thank you 🙏
Magical sounds!
🙌🎹
Absolutely lovely.
Glad you like it ! Thank you 🙏🎹
That trumpet sound sounds like a perfect match for “Touch and Go” by ELP
In the Sabrina song "Boys Boys Boys" (1987), the Oberheim Matrix-12 patch "Stab Brass" was heard.
The one icon that has always eluded me!!!! Ive had the M1 and DX7. Loved both but never been able to get this one. Oh well, maybe one day.
You can still find the d50 relative in normal prices
Try Rob Papen's Blue III VST synth. It comes pretty close and can do a lot more.
E perché no , Roland Cloud D50 vst plugin , come avere il synth reale .
One of my fav synths!
🙌🎹
Coisa linda demais, som maravilhoso.
glad you like it 🙏🎹
Great playing, man 😃👏 Love the bright and airy top end on the D50 ❤
Glad you like it Benjamin 🙏🎹
A good keyboard I had this .portamento and chase are so good
Yes 🎹
Vintage but a lot of wonderful sounds. I have one DX7, One Crumarc Bit One and the last, one Casio ctx5000. Enjoy :)
Thanks, you too!🎹
Nice work Nicolas👌🎹
Thank you Martin 🙏🎹
São os melhores, mesmo sendo os mais antigos com timbres que marcaram época. DX7, D50, D70, M1, entre outros.
🙌🎹
Great work man🎉❤
Thanks 🙏🎹

Many thanks!!🙏
muy muy bueno, escuchar eso fue un espectaculo de verdad gracias
Thank you 🙏🎹
Well played
Thank you 🙏🎹
Unfortunately people got just as tired of those sounds when they also started turning up in ads and in movies. Time for a comeback though
🙌🎹
Que belleza de teclado 🎹 como podré conseguir uno soy de Guatemala es mi sueño uno de ésos acá no hay ...
Check online, ebay or reverb
Well Played my man Well played!!❤🙏🏽

🙌🎹
Roland OUT-DID Themselves with this gem
🎹❤️
I'd lilke to see the famous sonds from Roland JV 1000.Somebody has any link to it?
Which songs have been made with the JV?
Wow, fire!
Thank you 🙏🎹
Very well done. I always thought that „Man in the Mirror“ also used the Fantasia Preset
From what i ve read online it was the Afterthought preset :)
@@NicolasMelis knowing Michael Jackson‘s team always used layers and layers of synths it might well be that they used both. Anthony Marinelli might now the details
@@deantiquisetnovis true!!:)
amazing!
Thank you 🎹
Sehr schöne Musik muss ich sagen :) Mehr davon!!!!
