Roland D-20 v D-50 pt 2: Comparing sounds, sound demo

Opening the new year with a sound comparison between the #RolandD20 synth from the end of 1988 and the #RolandD50 from 1987 in order to see how much they differ in sound. Tell me what you think in the comment, thanks! 0:28 Warm Pad Fade 1:58 Soft Brass 3:15 Rich Wood 4:21 Bright Power 6:22 Final thoughts Also check out these D-20 videos Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 In November I spotted this old synth with issues offered at a low price, since it had some issues. Since I’ve had the big brother Roland D-50 I was curious to hear, if the #rolandd20 would sound the same or maybe better, having been released 2 years after the D-50. I was not too impressed with the D-20 at the time, since I had no need for a sequencer and did not understand multi-timbrality. It just felt like a lesser D-50. Now I’m giving both synths a sound demo run together, looking for sounds that sound similar, so you can hear the differences more clearly. In part 1 I pick out sounds mostly namned the same from both synths, in part 2 I will test a few sounds that someone made trying to imitate D-20 sounds on the D-50. #synths #synthesizers #keyboardist #music #improvisation #roland #rolandd20 #rolandd50 #synthsounds
