Roland D-50 Repair Synth Hunter Episode 15

In this video, Synth Hunter shows you how to repair the keyboard of a Roland D-50 and replace the old display with a modern LED-backlit one. The D-50 also receives a firmware update, and Synth Hunter explains how to use an EPROM programmer for this. The power supply and control panel are overhauled, with capacitors and tactile switches being replaced. The D-50 is a beloved digital synthesizer that remains as popular today as it was when it was first released in 1987. Once Roland's hottest digital synthesizer, it competed with the Yamaha DX7 and was much easier to use. By combining 8-bit PCM samples with linearly arithmetically generated sounds, the D-50 is capable of creating unique and complex sounds. A built-in chorus and a digital reverb, used for the first time, are also included to add space and life to the sounds! The D 50 also has a joystick controller for real-time timbre manipulation and is great for acoustic, percussive sounds and beautiful pads.
