Roland D-50 LA Synthesis Classic 80's Synthesizer

Description

I’ve had this D-50 for years — it’s one of those synths that just defined the sound of the 80s. I bought it when I was first getting into music production, and it’s still one of my go-to instruments for that classic, warm, analog vibe.

It’s got all the standard presets loaded, aftertouch works smoothly, and I’ve upgraded the volume and aftertouch sliders so it feels more responsive. The LA synthesis engine is wild — a mix of samples, virtual analog, and built-in effects that let you create sounds you never thought possible back in ’87.

I still remember the first time I played a track on it — the way the pads and leads just clicked into place. It’s not just a vintage machine; it’s a real part of my music history.

It’s been sitting in my studio in Gretna, Dumfries and Galloway, and I’m finally getting rid of it. I know it’s not cheap — it’s worth £517.50 — but I’ve been using it so much, I just figured it’s time to move on.

If you’ve ever played a synth that made you feel like you were in a movie from the 80s, this might be the one you’re looking for. No fluff, just real sound and real fun.
