Six D-50 Patches for ID (Italo Disco)
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2010 2:58 am
Here's the deal. Last December I sold my Ensoniq SQ-80 to get something else. I loved the sequencer, the gritty analog sounds, and the intuitive interface but hated the clacky keyboard action and overly-crusty digital PCM samples. I wanted a D-50! I finally tracked one down and I'm making the 400 mile round trip tomorrow to pick it up.
While looking through some old D-50-heavy "eurobeat" tracks from the late '80s I heard two pretty cool patches. The first is an airy pad with plenty of classic D-50 LA character. The second is a percussive lead sound. You can hear the patches in that order here:
D-50 Unknown.mp3 - 0.91MB
I have a feeling these are presets or perhaps available on ROM cards. Any D-50 buffs with the answer?
