Product Detail
The Roland Cloud D-50 is a remarkable software synthesizer that revolutionized the synth world when it launched in 1987. Powered by Roland's groundbreaking LA synthesis engine, it combines samples, virtual analog, and integrated effects to create stunning, never - before - heard sounds. This synth is a perfect sonic copy of the original, letting you bring a music - history giant into your daily music production. As Roland's first fully digital synth, the D - 50 marries subtractive synthesis with complex sampled waveforms and digital effects. This unique combination offers warm, dynamic analog tonality with digital realism and flexibility, opening up new sound - creation horizons. In the 1980s and early 1990s, it was the go - to for many famous tracks across various genres like synth pop, new wave, and R&B. The plug - in version is the only authentic software reproduction of the Roland hardware. It captures every detail of the original, including the characteristic 'overtone noise'. It comes with the original joystick and presets, plus extra features for modern productions: extra waveforms, tempo - syncing LFO for better sound design and DAW integration, a virtual PG - 1000 controller for easy sound customization, and fresh new sounds and patch downloads. You can also integrate it with other Roland hardware, import SysEx files, swap patches with the Roland Boutique D - 05, and use its interface to control the plug - in.
Using the Roland Cloud D - 50 is easy. First, install the plug - in in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Once installed, you can start exploring the original presets or use the extra waveforms and features. To customize sounds, use the virtual PG - 1000 controller. It lets you tweak and build unique voices from scratch. When using it with other Roland hardware, make sure your devices are properly connected. You can import SysEx files from an original D - 50 or legacy third - party libraries to access your favorite previously created patches. Also, you can swap patches and banks with the Roland Boutique D - 05 and use its interface to control the plug - in. As for maintenance, keep your software up - to - date to ensure optimal performance. Check for new patch downloads regularly to expand your sound library. Avoid using the software on a device with insufficient resources, as it may cause glitches. And remember, have fun creating amazing music with your D - 50!
