D50 Tricks
Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 8:25 am
Anyone whoever played the old Roland D50 synth knows too well the grungy dirty lush sounds it made.
I tried to redo those sounds over the years with samplers, etc. to no avail.
But since Solaris is basically a 4 part synth, just like the D50 I decided to make a few sorely missed presets from the D50.
Having Waldorf, VS and MM Osc. is all I needed. With a really nice vocal sample it could be even better, but for now I have the D50 dialed in.
In the VCA Section the source options are the Filter of the InsFX.
Use the Insert FX and Bit Crusher, but on the Bellish tones use the Filter as a Source with high resonance settings and Voila! - you have a great D50 with the option to clean it up or not.
I actually feel sorry for anyone who doesn't own a Solaris, as they don't know what they're missing..
Thanks Again JB for the synth of the century...
