Anyone know much about the VC-1 card (D-50) for the V-Synth's?

What I would like to know is do you get the whole D-50 on the card or just selected patches/programs, a kind of "best of".

One interesting thing I have discovered is that you can assign them to the V-Synth's Time Trip Pad and D-Beam control. That should produce something whacky :smoke:

The GT (I have ordered) does come with the VC-1 and VC-2

PC Card turns the V-Synth/VariOS into a complete and accurate reconstruction of Roland's groundbreaking D-50 L/A Synthesizer

Includes all original waveforms plus 28 brand new wave forms.

384 Patches onboard including all original presets from D-50, PN-D50-01/-02/-03/-04 library cards and 64 new Patches

I guess you have your answer :P


/edit : you have even more patches than me, I don't own all those cards :punch:

You even have additional waveforms, this is überneat !!
But a bit too much for me, you loose the original touch, IMHO...

Mind you - this is the best emulation I've ever come across... it's just like you are playing a D50 and nothing else. Really cool. 8)

Doing a search, I have just found this

From Gordon Reid of "Sound On Sound" magazine (October 2005)

"To my ears, the two instruments sounded identical, or so close to identical as makes absolutely no difference. I tried all the classic D50 patches — 'Fantasia', 'DigitalNativeDance', 'Soundtrack', 'Glass Voices', 'Nightmare', 'IntruderFX' and so on — sounds that exemplify the original four-partial form of LA Synthesis, and which have never been accurately recreated on any other synth. When tested 'blind', I was unable to tell when a patch was played on the D50, and when on the XT."
