Perfect Simulation of the D-50’s Tones!

fig.01-01

The VC-1 comes complete with all 64 of the D-50’s preset patches, including the famous preset tones “Fantasia” and “Digital Native Dance.” It also is programmed with the D-50/D-550 sound libraries PN-D50-01–04(with 256 patches). Since it naturally handles MIDI bulk dumps, you can use the VC-1 to create your own original tunes exactly as you would with your D-50. Of course, this gives you a perfect simulation of the D-50’s tones, from the sound generator algorithms to editing of the parameters! It even reproduces the subtle nuances obtained when playing the instrument.

In addition, it also comes with an additional 64 new patches, which use waves (28 types) that are so large that the original D-50 would have been technologically incapable of containing them.)

Editing and Performances That Surpass the Original!

All sound generator parameters are assignable to the V-Synth XT’s full complement of editing controls. Parameters can also be edited with the touch panel, allowing you to almost instantly turn your creative inspirations (no matter how fleeting) into sounds you can use. Whether the fun of creating sounds or pleasure of performing, this far outdoes the original.

Pro Spec Legacy Synthesizer!

Internal processing upgraded with the latest technology vastly improves the response and dynamic range from the time you press the keys to the moment the sounds are played. The V-Synth XT hardware is used as the means of outputting sounds, which means it’s also compatible with digital outputs (optical/ coaxial). This gives you a legacy synthesizer with professional specs good enough for the latest recording environments.
