D-50 V-Card for V-Synth

VC-1: D-50 V-Card for V-Synth

Features

The Legendary D-50 Reborn. Roland’s new V-Cards are a series of PC Cards capable of turning the V-Synth™ into a variety of retro and future-oriented synthesizers. The first card is the VC-1, which magically transforms the V-Synth into Roland’s legendary D-50 L/A Synthesizer. Simply pop in the card, power up, and you’ll be taken back to the year 1987, when Roland’s D-50 ruled supreme. Relive the D-50 in all its glory—including full programmability and all the original Patches like “Digital Native Dance,” “Living Calliope” and more. Every circuit and precise detail of this legendary synthesizer has been faithfully modeled. It doesn’t just sound like a D-50, it is a D-50! Look for more V-Cards in the future. Only from Roland.

  • PC Card turns the V-Synth into a complete and accurate reconstruction of Roland’s groundbreaking D-50 L/A Synthesizer
  • Includes all original presets like “Fantasia,” “Living Calliope” and “Intruder FX”
  • Full programmability using the V-Synth’s touchscreen, knobs and sliders
  • TimeTrip Pad serves as D-50’s Partial Balance joystick
  • Original D-50 Patches can be loaded via MIDI bulk dump
  • D-50 firmware loads instantly when booted with card*
  • *When card is inserted, only D-50 synthesis can be accessed. Normal V-Synth functions cannot be used unless rebooted without card.
