There is also a really cool Roland D-50 Librarian and Sound Editor available that really adds to the D-50 fun and experience as well. Both are still amazing synthesizers after all these years and the number of patches available is practically endless. I’m now glad to have one sitting alongside my Yamaha DX-7 synth. I just remember that when the Roland D-50 was out, everyone wanted one that played the keys in high school. I had saved my paper route money for the DX-7 and at that time as a kid it would have probably been difficult to sell and convince my parents that I wanted a Roland D-50. However, I always reminded myself that the Roland D-50 wasn’t around when the DX-7 was first released. Soon thereafter the Roland D-50 was released and I remember I always kind of wished I had bought one instead of the DX-7.
Back in the 80’s I remember purchasing a brand new Yamaha DX-7 mkI when they came out. Somebody clearly had taken great care of the D-50 and I felt I couldn’t let this one get away. It really was in near mint condition with all of the documentation, case, cables, memory cards, etc. I recently found a Roland D-50 Linear Synthesizer in near mint condition for $180 at a somewhat remote used music shop here in Nagano-city, Japan.
