The Roland D-05 Linear Synthesizer module brings back the original Roland D-50 down to every sonic detail. It's the iconic synth that helped shape the sound of late-'80s film scores and electronic music, fully re-created with Roland's Digital Circuit Behavior modeling technology. It features all the original presets (plus lots of cool new ones), and is even compatible with D-50 patches. Complete with a 64-step polyphonic sequencer and arpeggiator for a bottomless well of creative potential, the Roland D-05 Linear Synthesizer module is sure to gratify old and new Roland fans alike.
The Roland D-05 module can proudly claim one of the most highly acclaimed digital lineages in all of synthesis. Think of a famous song or film score from the late '80s/early '90s, and a Roland D-50 likely played a prominent role somewhere in the arrangement. Its unique character comes from its method of combining sampled attack waveforms with synthesized sustaining waveforms.
Even before you hook up your favorite controller, the Roland D-05 module offers a ton of creative potential with its built-in 64-step sequencer and arpeggiator. They're great for exploring the D-05's sound design capabilities with a sequence running, and they're also key to creating some of those animated soundscapes and evolving pads the D-50 was known for.
Fans of the original D-50 will feel right at home with the D-05 module, complete with a joystick for on-the-fly sound manipulation. And because the D-05 module is a spot-on re-creation of the original D-50, it can even load D-50 patches. Speaking of patches, the D-05 module includes all of the original patches from the D-50, as well as a wide range of new sounds to explore.
The Roland K-25m is a 25-key, velocity sensitive keyboard designed for use with the Roland Boutique series. Measuring less than 12″ across, the K-25m acts as a dock for any Roland Boutique module, and once in place the module can be tilted at two different angles for easier viewing and sound programming, or can be laid completely flat. Once positioned, you have a choice of tilting the module at two different angles for easier viewing and sound programming, or having it lie flat. The Roland K-25m addresses a pitch range of -4 to +5 octaves when teamed up with a Boutique Series synth.
