why have people thumbed down this video??? its a guy showing us the sounds from his synth for gods sake, what the fuck is wrong with some people!! cheers for the vid btw now ive heard the sounds im now buying a roland d-50 kontakt library, recognised alot of sounds from your demo the d-50 is quite unique =)
hearing you go through those sounds got me in the zone, i was about to jump out window it sounded so good. i was looking up d-550 that odu college was throwing out just because they had a flood. the device was not damaged and i wanted to see it in action and i run across your joints. cheers mate and keep up the passion for the golden era of music which is only alive in our hearts -the 80's
You make me open my eyes!!, i ever thought Jarre engineered all those sounds

The MT32 is more like the D20 or D5. It was really fun to have in the 80s and 90s because all the Sierra games had special sounds and songs made for this module. So if you had it, they would upload new sounds to the MT32 (or d5 in my case) and they would have awesome songs in the games. Also as a pro, you got LOADS of cool sounds. Some that I still use in my songs :)
+Kristian Blåsol The MT-32 is not like a D-20/10/5, it *is* a '20/10/5. Roland basiclly stripped out as much as they could, changed over to the cheapest parts they could get, stuffed it all in a desktop case, and called it the MT-32...

Sorry. Should've said it uses the same sound engine then. All the models mentioned have the same sound engine but more or less of other features. The d-20 had a sequencer, disk drive, and drum machine. The d-10 had only the drum machine (i think) the d-5 was simply a synthesizer with a keyboard. It had drums sounds but no drum machine. And the mt-32 was simply the sound module. If they used other cheaper parts I dont know. The box itself was made of ugly computer beige, probably because it was supposed to be used with computers. And the sounds given by many sierra games still were very cool.
Kristian Blåsol No need to apologize, wasn't trying to give you an attitude about it... ;-) I know just about everything there is to know about the Roland D-series synths... Basically you're 100% right... the only full "LA" synth-engine is in the D-50/550. The D-20/10/110/5/MT-32 are all "second generation". They all share the same expanded PCM sample set, and are all missing the advanced LFO's and effects that the D-50/550 has. A patch made on any of the 2nd Gen. D's will work on all the others. The MT-32 is the worst of the bunch though, because it doesn't save patches when it's powered off, and the DAC's are horrible and cheap and noisy. But besides that they are all identical - 8-part multi-timbral, max. 4-partials per voice instead of the 2-partial D-50, very limited on-board effects. You can actually turn a D-10 into a D-20 by just swapping the main-board ROMs - there is just no where to mount the disk-drive, and no way to control the sequencer....
Saw JMJ destination Docklands ' live?' in 1988. It rained all evening. It was obviously a backing track but considering the weather I can understand. If you watch the video the D50 is absolutely soaked with rain.
I went the day before, it wasn't raining but was bloody cold. Yeh, backing track but the show was great. Wonder what happened to all that very wet kit?
@@Vim-Wolf yeah that gear must have been destroyed by the rain. Newham council made it so difficult for JMJ. I remember seeing a behind the scenes video on CZcams and the health and safety people were a nightmare. And that was in the late 80's! Thanks for your memories mate!
Your demo here demonstrates why I had to laugh at everyone that complained about Jarre using way too many patches on the Teo & Tea album. Still, a bit sad that we went from the brilliant Zoolook (which Frederique Rosseau claims he wrote huge chucnks of) to almost nothing but patches in under four years :(
Most demos of the MT-32 are from games because that was really all it was good for. Sound wise it is identical to the 2nd generation D's (5,10,20), has the same synth engine inside but with horrible, cheap DAC's that make it sound very noisy... And it is a nightmare to reprogram every time it is turned on... which is why I haven't turned mine on in about 20 years...
Hi all! I think Jarre was a littke more musically creative with the D50 sounds in Revolutions than he was with the MC808 in Teo and Tea. Sure Rendezvous was a lot of Elka presets... I like both albume either way. Was it true that JMJ was going to releast TT under a different name? That woukd have worked out better.. also to all thoes asking about the patxhes I will try and digg them out and upload.
When I was originally listening to to Revolutions album I thought Jarre used some mega dollars Emulators, Fairlights, or what have you to get all those signature string sounds on Revolutions Part 1, with all that gritty dripping with harmonics textures. I was shocked 20 years later learning that most of it was done on the D-50. The D-50 is also a very beautifully looking machine. I have one in quite good nick, but couple of keys act up with unintended max velocity response, oh well..
I believe the MT-32 is more similar to the D-110 then it is to the D-50. The D-50 has a bit more processing power so it can handle more voices simultaneously. Also, it has more ROM so that explains the more extensive sample set.
Machine Run was originally released on the Geerdes "Volume 1" soundbank. There is a Yahoo Group called "D-50_Soundbanks"s with a files section that has most of these collections available for download - check the folder called "Old ROM cards, disks" , then the Geerdes folder. I also recommend the excellent "D50 Librarian" software too, just save all the patches or bank files to a single folder and the librarian will list the lot as individual patches and remove duplicate's from the list too.
Brilliant.really enjoyed this. superb sounds. I have one. such a versatile synth. prices are going up for this synth. Roland was famous for their pianos. later synths were not. The Dx7 and M1 are not a patch on this. Can you down these patches, and retain the original sound bank?. Thank you so much for sharing.
I understand you and I agree with you. two years ago I was on his concert, first time after 30 years being his big fun and I was very disapointed. every solo played other musicians, and when he played, it was like small kid. sorry for my english
I don't think there will be any D-50 soft synth any time soon since the D-50 is still commercial (the VC-1 card for the V-Synth and VariOS). I looked for a softsynth, couldn't find one and ended up buying a real D-50 instead. No regrets. ;) I have all these patches, by the way. They're among my favourites.
If you're upset with this, then don't check out the video on youtube demonstrating all the patches he used for Teo & Tea. Almost entire songs are nothing but patches.
I understand that. But it would be nice to see more videos of people playing music with tis little gizmo. It's a situation a bit like the Yamaha An200. It has a great synth section similar to the An1x but most of the videos here don't show that, only show the sequencer part of the An200.
I have a MT-32 for many years, but it sounds nothing like the D50 as Jarre used it on Revolution. For a start the D50 has a completely different set of samples. The MT-32 doesn't have the "machine run" loop for instance. Also the MT-32 has an issue that the sound "thins out" when there's too much bass in the sound. I don't think the D50 has this issue. So I think the MT-32 maybe sounds like 10% like the D50, but certainly not 90% like it.
If you want to hear what an MT-32 sounds like listen to any of the 2nd generation D's and mix in a bit of hiss-like white noise in the backgound.... they really are not worth the bother with the prices so low for the full D keyboards...
Hi CC as first good work,i love the D50 too and i have one and second i hear something and i don't like it ,your keys on the D50 are rattling,i dont have that on my D50.
I'd be very interested in these sounds for my D-550, It is well overdue for a patch purge, currently in the process of changing its backlight display for an LCD :)
hello, great vid and some nice Jarre patches and other cool ones as well - did you ever get a chance to extract them and post them somewhere? I would love to load them in my D-50
Nice demo of the D-50, but you are completly wrong about the MT-32. The actual order of LA Synth engines is D-50/D-550 (1st. gen.), D-20/D-10/110,D-5 (2nd. gen. not "full" LA Synth, but they have more pcm samples) then the MT-32 (still not sure what Roland was thinking when they released it...) Any of the 2nd gen. LA synths with some good effects and EQ can come real close to the sound of a D-50, a MT-32 never will....
Hi Great video..I'm a big fan of J M jarre..I do have the roland fantom fa-76 but it as no sampler. I want to buy the d50 to play jarre music and im just wondering, if the machine run patch and other jarre patches are included. If not, can i download the patch onto floppy disk or does the d50 need to be connected to a p.c also do you really need the d550. Thank you kind regard, Chris...
Some peoples are against me too, when I write comments to something I'm wondering about for example sounds or effect which you can hear on Jean Michel Jarre cd albums or from his concert :) At the begining on Calpyso 2 from JMJ cd albums Waiting For Cousteau the sound you hear then is from Roland D-5 named Marshy Zone and it is a oceanic fx sound :) But that bouncy sound one of JMJ aides is playing from the Paris La Defense concert I don't know :( That is what I want to know :) It's a cool effect or sound I think :) Maybe you : The Circuit Symphony know what I'm looking for :) It's the sound you hear begin to play at 02:00 on this clip :) czcams.com/video/9OSQnIgT8eo/video.html
It's one of JMJ aides Frederick Rousseau, who are playing that sequence part bouncing his finger on the synths keys on Calypso 2 what you will noticed from JMJ concert Paris La Defense :) But that kind of sound or instrument do you hear the sound of from his Synth/Keyboard I'm still wondering :)
I have a d-50 can you help me. I am trying to inport the patch but I only get as far as the d50 saying waiting. The computer says it is sending, but nothing gets transfered. Pls help
why have people thumbed down this video??? its a guy showing us the sounds from his synth for gods sake, what the fuck is wrong with some people!!

Jean Michel Taffy! Great vid
i could watch 10/30 and 10/45 a couple hundred times, hope to play like that one day
One of my favorite keyboards of all time ,top 5
Nice sound!
The second sound (The Emigrant) was used also on the melody of Calypso 3. And the "birds sound" on the begining of Calypso 2.

i like the "Jet Wars" patch it sounds like a real jet plane taking flight

Can you please send me the patches you used here?
That sound around 5 min was in a Phil Collins tune I believe:) still an affordable synth and it is fab

I fell for it. I really thought I'd hear Jarre.
Well done. some great patches. I have a D50. love to load it with theses sounds. Thanks for sharing, very informative. LOL ..

Excelent Demo. Would really like to see a demo of the MT-32. Almost all demos of the MT-32 are PC games music. Thank you for your time and for sharing
excellent demo..thankyou!!
Brilliant.really enjoyed this. superb sounds. I have one. such a versatile synth. prices are going up for this synth. Roland was famous for their pianos. later synths were not. The Dx7 and M1 are not a patch on this. Can you down these patches, and retain the original sound bank?. Thank you so much for sharing.
I'm a bit upset to learn that the mechanical sound in Industrial Revolution is a preset....😢
I'm really upset now as i always imagined jean michel had made the percussion sound (machine run) using the Fairlight with drum pads :(
I understand you and I agree with you. two years ago I was on his concert, first time after 30 years being his big fun and I was very disapointed. every solo played other musicians, and when he played, it was like small kid. sorry for my english
Here is the name of that sound played from Roland D-50
> Computer Week-end

Synths and equipments used on Jean Michel Jarre's cd albums etc www.jarrography.free.fr/jarre_studio.php
Nice collection of sounds would like to have a sysex of them.
great sounds, but stop talking and flailing around with the camera
D550 is a sequence station ,he have the same mainbord as a D50
I have a D50 to and a D20,the D10 with sequencer(workstation)
Ever thought of getting the Korg 01/W,. It's got most of the Chronology patches on it.
cette vidéo me donne mal a la tète ,la camera bouge trop .tout ce matos et aucune mélodie !
I understand that. But it would be nice to see more videos of people playing music with tis little gizmo.
It's a situation a bit like the Yamaha An200. It has a great synth section similar to the An1x but most of the videos here don't show that, only show the sequencer part of the An200.

geez man, you hit the keys hard!
Excellent demo. I'm Sorry for my bad english. ( i speak french ) it's possible to buy your patches? I lové your jarre's patches :)
Nice demo of the D-50, but you are completly wrong about the MT-32.

Hi there, Excellent demo, I would love to have these patches, could you please send it to me?
Thanks for the video. How can I get these patches. I have a D-50. I love mine.
Ok, gotta ask....where did you get the "machine run" patch from? I have all 5 cards plus a couple others & have not found that patch yet.
Hi Great video..I'm a big fan of J M jarre..I do have the roland fantom fa-76 but it as no sampler.

Who signed the Juno-6 ?
PS you look a bit like a young Dan Aykroyd lol
+Frizz Bee Next vid he plays the ghost busters theme in a ghostbusters jumpsuit
STILL THERES NO GOOD SOFTWARE RECREATION OF THE D50 ....
I THINK JARRE USED THE WORST SOUNDS OF THIS SYNTH ... STILL HE MADE A GOOD ALBUM
D-110 is not rubbish, and neither are D-20, D-10, or D-5
How do I get hold of these patches?
Some peoples are against me too, when I write comments to something I'm wondering about for example sounds or effect which you can hear on Jean Michel Jarre cd albums or from his concert :) At the begining on Calpyso 2 from JMJ cd albums Waiting For Cousteau the sound you hear then is from Roland D-5 named Marshy Zone and it is a oceanic fx sound :) But that bouncy sound one of JMJ aides is playing from the Paris La Defense concert I don't know :( That is what I want to know :) It's a cool effect or sound I think :) Maybe you : The Circuit Symphony know what I'm looking for :) It's the sound you hear begin to play at 02:00 on this clip :) czcams.com/video/9OSQnIgT8eo/video.html

so is there a way of putting these sounds into a d10?
check out TubeOhm Vintage... excellent D-50 style VSTi...
awesome sounds! what is your e mail?
I have a d-50 can you help me. I am trying to inport the patch but I only get as far as the d50 saying waiting. The computer says it is sending, but nothing gets transfered. Pls help
Peter French
You have to hold down data transfer as you are sending patches or else it will not receive the patch
I had the same problem. You are probably using a cheap midi-usb cable.
That is where your troubles are. Use an M-AUDIO K1 cable
Please buy a tripod!!!!
