Please take the time to take this poll. I think Roland underestimates how much this thing would sell.

How many surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

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.

I wouldn't purchase it, but I would love for Roland to make one so that we could put an end to the endless threads crapping on about the need for one.

I think you over estimate how much Roland cares what we think.........or want.........

But I voted yes anyway just as a symbolic gesture.

One would assume the VSTi version would have updated specs including oversampling and a "legacy" mode for the purists. But this is the text book definition of vaporware.......except this one will never even be planned let alone developed.

It depends on who defines what is "reasonably priced". Based on what they are charging for their recente plug-outs", I would not buy a D-50 that was priced accordingly. But If it was priced under $100,00 maybe I would. So, maybe you should change t eh first option for "Yes, as long as it was priced under $99,00" because I don't trust Roland for "resonable prices".

Oh, and it had to have some updated specs, and expanded ROM, like what Korg did for the M1.

I agree, and voted as well.

If Korg can produce the M1 plugin and others for $49 a piece, why can't Roland give us a D-50 plugin for around the same price? Or maybe somewhere between $49 and$99, I think that would be ok.

Oh look. Another D50 thread.

I think most of sample based synths should be emulated, since they sound as rich as analogs, but their sound is more stable than on analog (emulations). I would highly like a d50 emulation, also a korg 01w emulation (or wavestation + the ring modulation from 01w).

But I think there is already at least one sample based vst that emulates a d50:

Don't know how realistic this sounds..

That's not an emulation. That's a sample package. Tjere are others, in fact, like this one: http://www.kontaktbanks.com/kb_deepflight.html

An emulation, as is commonly understood, has to be a 1:1 matching parameter recreation of the original (at least).

Pointless emulating the D50 it's a rompler. Today we can have far better sample quality. Romplers lack expression and tweakability. You are better off buying Rob Papen's Blue II instead. http://www.robpapen.com/blue2.html that's a mix of FM and samples.

LOL it has been used in countless hit records, tons of jean Michelle Jarre sounds in that demo.

The album by Enigma -MCMXC was done all most fully with a D-50 and sounds incredible good.

No, because ........ I have the real one ( and with a special card that adds multitimbral and stack abilites btw ... )

I am sorry but i had to vote Fish here since i already have the chips (Roland FA-06)

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