    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.

      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.

      @@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. 🙂

    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.

      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.

    For some reason I choose years later the D70 and although it is not per se the "facelift " of the D50 but from the U220 (it was marketed D70 to capitalize the success of the D50) I still felt instantly in love with it. The D70 was my loyal companion on all my covers band from 1994 til 2000. Yes I know, it sounded sometimes a little bit "thin", but it was easy to program and I appreciate the 76 keys with four zones.

    Great sounds & memories…thanks! I used to have a D-550 back in the day but ended up replacing it with a V-Synth XT that has the D50 card in it. Also have a Yamaha Motif Rack ES with the PLG150-DX card, Emu Proteus 2000 with B3 card, M1R-EX, Moog Slim Phatty, Roland Integra-7 and Akai S5000 sampler so am lucky enough to have access to nearly all those classic sounds at my fingertips. Really should learn to play…

      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.

    I had a D50 in my teenage years (90s). Literally pipe organ was my reference for what a real organ actually should sound like hahaha. And I played Enya with that patch. (Although I always thought left hand was like low G then high G before the chord, i.e. not octave played in left hand at the same time... just listened to it now and I think I'm right!) Fun vid

  • @JozeatTxb

    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

      @NicolasMelis yeah I can't hear it in it myself/find any info, only a 6 month window from the release of the D-50 to the tracks completion, not that that means anything ultimately but it might make it a tad more unlikely that they had one in the studio bar they went out and got one straight away.

      You need an audio interface to get your actual keyboard sounds into you computer. You can record midi information without it, but to record actual sound,an interface is required. I’ll link an affordable unit from Amazon. 😃
