For Sale: Classic Roland keyboard.
Can only get to work in mono- not stereo. Still sounds amazing with full rich effects and sound quality. Not sure if the issue is with the jacks or something else. All keys carefully tested and working correctly. Shows a fair amount of cosmetic wear. Nice bright display. As far as I can tell all buttons, switches, joystick, pitchbend lever, etc. are working correctly. Currently has some original and some custom patches but I have the original patch set as well as several others I can load up using MIDI/Sysex and my computer.
Info from the wikipedia.org:
The Roland D-50 is a polyphonic 61-key synthesizer produced by Roland. It was released in 1987. Its features include Linear Arithmetic synthesis, on-board effects, a joystick for data manipulation, and an analog synthesis-styled layout design. The external Roland PG-1000 Programmer could also be attached to the D-50 for more complex manipulation of sounds. It was also produced in a rack-mount variant design, the D-550, with almost 450 user-adjustable parameters.
The D-50's capabilities could be modified through the addition of 3rd-party products by Musitronics, most notably the M-EX which made the D-50 multitimbral (the D-50 was bi-timbral), as well as a chip that improved the D-50's response to incoming MIDI commands and a system for burning custom PCM cards with user samples for playback in the D-50.
