If Roland made a D50 vst emulation, would you purchase it?

Can't see roland doing any plug ins really unless it is hardware based such as the aria synth
To be honest I would buy a hardware synth along the lines of an aria if they release a jd800 or jp8000

If you got this plugin, would you be surprised to find out that its sounds are pretty much dated and nowhere near as useful as you had hoped it would be? IMO, first company to model cheap op-amp circuitry in the outputs will nail its sound.

Considering I recently got Virtual CZ and also the free DeXed (emulation of the DX7), and didn't find any of them "dated" and actually "very useful", and I also still have some good hardware synths that I don't find "dated", unlikely.BBFG# wrote:If you got this plugin, would you be surprised to find out that its sounds are pretty much dated and nowhere near as useful as you had hoped it would be?

What was good once will stay good forever, as long as you know how to use it.

I liked the CZ quite a bit back in the day (in some ways more than the D50). But considering their 'signature sounds' are covered in almost every VI I have now (and done even better IMO, without the negatives from the original and far more options), there is a certain amount of 'dating' that comes from trying to recapture the past of simpler times...fmr wrote:Considering I recently got Virtual CZ and also the free DeXed (emulation of the DX7), and didn't find any of them "dated" and actually "very useful", and I also still have some good hardware synths that I don't find "dated", unlikely.BBFG# wrote:If you got this plugin, would you be surprised to find out that its sounds are pretty much dated and nowhere near as useful as you had hoped it would be?

Doesn't 'retro' then become just a updated term for Luddite?
Somehow, nostalgia and academia it such a strict sense seem to be a contradiction to me here.

I love the D50. I recently had a V-Synth with the D50 card and sampled a TON of material from it before I sold it......much more from the D50 card than the actual V-Synth itself actually. I would buy a d50 emulation by Roland.....even though I think they are thugs for not letting anyone else do it all these years.

No D50 card and really not wanting one.
The VSGT does what I want for Roland sounds and it's all about the APS for me.
Zebra2-HZ does the straight synth sounds I was getting out of the VSGT now.
If Zebra 3 adds an in-depth modeler,
I could see selling the VSGT and never having or needing another Roland product.

OMG! Pretty much the whole of Revolutions (by Jarre) in that demo. Brings back memories of standing in the London Docklands for the Destination Docklands concert.V0RT3X wrote:Well i just looked up a demo of this thing and holy crap it aliases like a bastard.

Sure it has some interesting sounds, but i wouldn't use a VSTi/AU version in my productions so it's a no from me.
Gotta love Jarre's humour and light touch:

Concert or a mime act ? Can you actually see all of that electronic kit working in heavy rain and strong winds, protected only by plastic covers ? Even in the studio environ, some of the gear on that stage would require a constant warm temperature. Even the vocals stay constant, during a wind / rain storm
Jeez
I voted no by the way for a D50 emu. Had one in the 80's. Not really significant now. I would gladly go for a DX7 emu, but Dexed has answered that prayer.

I didn't vote. Didn't see the choice of "Can't afford it, donations excepted"
Or is that the Fish option?
These polls always seem to miss someone's need don't they?
I'm mainly in to get the results at conclusion.
Interesting conversation here.
Good luck arkmabat

Wavestation - Yes. That form of synthesis was dropped too quickly, so much to offer and very useable now.arkmabat wrote:This wouldn't be that different from something like the wavestation. Does it sound 80s/90s? Yes. Is it still usable? Yes.
D50 - No. PCM samples and a new form of synthesis called LA ? Korg had a better idea with the M1, if only they had cosen to add resonant filters

It didn't rain and there was no wind on the day I was there. Yep. I see that kit working just perfectly. Sorry you got drenched on the Sunday gig.Maomoondog wrote:Can you actually see all of that electronic kit working in heavy rain and strong winds, protected only by plastic covers ?

Crazy prices, your not missing nothing. If I still had mine you could have it for free.dsan@mail.com wrote:I didn't vote. Didn't see the choice of "Can't afford it, donations excepted"

Didn't go to it, We had an album to record, it was raining on that video, or was that "synthetic rain"himalaya wrote:It didn't rain and there was no wind on the day I was there. Yep.

The music was most likely taken from the Saturday gig

It didn't rain during the Saturday concert. You should have been there.
