It includes Reverb, Chorus, Delay, and 2 Band EQ, plus 64 types of insertion effects *2. It is compatible with the sound for "GS","GM2", and "GM".
It is based on the Roland GS standard that has been de facto standard sound source, "SOUND Canvas Series" of Roland Desk Top Music (DTM). SOUND Canvas is a software synthesizer that emulates perfectly the highly popular GS format sound source, along with a bulit-in SMF *1 player for playing Standard MIDI Files.

Name a famous track from the late 80s to early 90s and there’s a good chance it was built around one or more Roland D-50 sounds. The 80’s ushered in something new: sleek keyboards with digital engines that brought musicians and producers a totally new palette of sounds not previously possible with analog.Īs Roland’s first all-digital performance synthesizer keyboard, the D-50 took the world by storm with its unique mix of sampled attack transients and synthesized waveforms combined with built-in digital effects and… a joystick! When most people think of vintage synthesizers, they think of analog beasts with lots of knobs and sliders.
Released thirty years ago in 1987, the Roland D-50 Linear Arithmetic (LA) Synthesizer is easily one of the most influential keyboards ever made.
