I'm pretty sure that it means that he has a bit of a crush on the both of us. He must have seen some pictures of our "gear" or something.

I think we all learned something today. Never post pictures of your gear for everyone to see!

Just as I don't get the Minimoog emulation fascination, just what was so amazing about the D50? I sure didn't hear anything that made me go wow and run out to buy one. Every synth I owned at the time, IMO, sounded much better. So what's up with this?

In addition to D-50 it contains input from about a dozen other 80's synths

Yeah, totally with you on this. It was great for it's day and the sounds are on a bunch of records, but it's not really like those sounds are somehow special from a synthesis point of view. When it came out, that flute chiff was kind of something and combined with something of a synthesizer allowed it to be both somewhat realistic as well as expressive. Samples couldn't really do that back then.

It's nostalgia I think more than anything.

Was the D50 comparable to the D10, sound wise? The D10 was my first synth (in fact, I still have it, but haven't used it in ages). I remember that the sound didn't do much for me, pad sounds aside...

The D10 was a cut down, simpler sounding budget version of the D50.

Similar to the DX9/21 versus the DX7. So the D10/20/110/MT32 sounded noticeably inferior to the flagship of the time D-50.

D-10 was second generation D-50/LA synthesis

The Roland D10 was essentially a repackaged Roland MT32 module which itself was a much more simplified version of the D50. So it maybe 'second generation' but definitely not a patch on the D50.

And that is why I call you a Pro

As I remember you earlier called the D-50 "a rompler with shitty filters" and that stuck in my mind as a sober description
Well, that's pretty much what it is. I don't really understand the appeal of the D50. It's not even multisampled, it's pretty basic. I have a copy of the factory raw waves, they're out there. You can knock up your own basic D50 patches in Kontakt in short order if you're even halfway competent.

It was fantastic for its time, but that was then.

I actually did that, in Alchemy then.
I allso happens to have the raw waves
