Nice Jase. Do you have the PG-1000 controller for it too?

By the way, before Dr. Orange jumps on ya back - the D-50 is LA synthesis (Linear Arithmetic Synthesis).

I've been reading up about the D-50s too recently. As you know I want a V-synth...And in the review for the V-SynthXT in SOS they put a real D-50 along side the VC1 (the D-50 onboard the XT ) on an Oscilloscope. The V-Synth can even emulate the DA conversion of the real D-50! Exactly the fucking same! The V-Synth D-50 will even react to the original PG1000 too!

Now I'm even more desperate for a V-Synth!

One tip I've read a few people saying with the D-50 is to turn the effects off if you want it to fit into a mix. But as far as anything else goes I have no idea.

Have fun Jase.

Nope. It's a shame, the guy that owns it really doesnt appreciate it, it is so fuckin dirty and dusty. Almost brings a tear to my eye

Yeah...I realised this a few minutes after I posted, and was just returning to edit it. Ah fuck it, I dont care anyways, it sounds sweet!

Yeah....I want one too! But so much other stuff first.

Thanks for the tip!!!!!!

The brass pads and leads sound awesome.....just going to download the PDF manual and see if I can start editing this beast. Damn it is a big-ass synth. Heavy too!

accualy the V synth is rather limiting by its expantions.

you have to boot it up as D50,when you do so you cant use the V synth engine at the same time.
when you want the V synth you have to boot it up again.

btw,was the D50 one of the first virtual analogs? or was it the JD800 ?

So what! There's nothing stopping you recording the D-50 to audio, then sending the sample to the V-synth OS.

Being closer to the original is what I'd be chasing for an emulation rather than features. And the VC1 is exact (not like some crappy minimoog softie).

Well I wouldn't consider either of them VAs really. There's a difference between VA and PCM based synths. The 800s are cool synths though - unforuntately the prices have rocketed to the point of "not worth it".

I had a D50 home for awhile.. I might say, i didn't like it all so i hope you get more kicks out of it Jase!

Sure there was some sounds i did like but most of the sounds you could get out of that machine.. Nah

And i really don't like that "clean" design eihter. But i wouldn't say no to a V-synth with the D50-expansion
