Yes, they work really nicely together in many ways! They work so seamlessly together that it is like having a 32-voice D-50 🔥 I've had my D-50 since I bought it as new, then it was out of the house for over 20 years. During the last few years I've rediscovered its potential. And I was lucky to score a D-05 a few months ago on the used market. They are not very common so get one if you have the opportunity! Thanks for watching!
@@stcezaire06 I think that is a good substitute for the big brother D-50. Actually there are very few patches that sound differently on both synths, and the D-05 seems to have a wider stereo picture. Otherwise I feel both are equal.
Lucky to have found a PG-1000 for your D-50. And cool on looping the D-05 with it. Not sure if you are just matching preset to preset or, if you can access the old sound cards and what they sound like that was built into the lil unit. I own and enjoy a D-550 which is the rack unit version. All I am missing is the joystick and a PG-1000. Lol And of course the cards. I appreciated this demo as I feel the D-50, as famous as it is, doesn’t get as much fan fare as other Roland synths. Thank you.
@@dstrats Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I'm using the D-05 as a sound bank, meaning it feeds the D-50 with the same parameters, when I change patches or when I'm using the PG to adjust the sound, both synths are getting the values. If you want to hear comparisons between the two, check out videos 1 to 7, where I play either or, or both at the same time (which is huge for pads) 🙂 D-05 has all 5 original sound banks by Roland, the factory set and all cards, so it is nice to be able to play those. Also the Cult of D50 offers more or less everything released for the synth, 1000s and 1000s of sounds, check that out for your D-550! Yes, the PG is a game changer, try to get yourself one of those. Or get the clone, DT-1000. Not cheap, but does what the PG does! Some sounds on D-50 are of course overused, but it is still a great and useful synth today, I think! 🔥
The Legend D50 and the new one D-05 , Bravo !
