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

[aMUSEd]

Anyone wishing to sate their lust for a D50 check out the JRRShop sale - if you buy something you get the UVI Digital Synsations instrument for free - while it is sample based and not a complete emulation since the original was also digital I doubt it matters - the UVI D50 patches sound great and better than the Pinknoise patches for Kontakt.

[Turello]

Yes but without iLock\pace etc etc...

Also if Korg make a VST version of Oasys I'll sell\throw away all my Virtual Synths to buy it!

[aMUSEd]

I have a Z1 for that

This guys rocks the D50:

They could start a band with this Casio kid

This would be a great synth to re-create as a soft synth.
I miss my hardware D-50!

I'd rather buy an used Roland D50 than waiting for a vst emulation. It's all about the character and the feel of the real synth

Makes no sense. All you need is a joystick or xy pad.

Today only. Is this legit?!

It's legit.

Also, it's not modelled. It's just multisamples (but damn good quality ones) of those digital synths.

[Aleatoriac]

Yeah probably.

Probably also to the other Roland synths of yesteryear.

What I really want is Korg to release a VST version of the X3 that can read my old *.sng files.

Eventually I'll just buy a used one and fall in love with it all over again. The synth - not those f**king horrid programming buttons that break after a handful of uses...

But if they're selling it... it's legal right? I thought the D50 samples were copyrighted.

The more this thread floats to the top, the more I start thinking the simple answer to the OP's question is no.
I didn't find the UVI DS to be anything that reminded me of it, and although I think it is solid enough on it's own merits, it wasn't even worth keeping really. I got two copies in one of their last give-aways and tried one, found PACE still worked as it did before and dumped both of them and the one iLok account I had to register just to try it out. Seems they have to give it away fairly often for some reason?

But it really has more to do with feeling that many VIs sport some sort of the famous worthwhile patches from the D50 and IMO, now do it better than the D ever did.

I own it (got it with UVI's Vintage Vault) but didn't care for the D-50 stuff, even though the D-50 is one of my favorite synths. I sampled the hell out of the d-50 last year and found my Kontakt samples to be much nicer than the Digital Synsations stuff. Other than that, I loved everything else in Vintage Vault, I just thought they didn't do the D-50 justice IMO.

[GrokSynth]

I used to have a D50 & love it. When I hear it, I do get a little nostalgic. But, I don't think that I would really ever use it (or an emulation) anymore. So, its a no for me at this point.
