Still have the D-550? I am retiring this year and want to duplicate my school setup at home. It is the only piece I need yet. Love that synth!!

I have the rack mount D-550 and I still love it. But I got a Karma recently, so I may want to part with it.

Otherwise some of the incredible sounds it has are unique and in a zone of its own. I have used it for years and am still using it. It is very rich and deep and the velocity driven combos allow unique expressions with a far greater feel than samplers. Even without editing the sounds the variety is so great that you barely have to do anything. Of course I could not help myself. But I still have the original sounds on the original card.

Exceptional toy. Interestingly I also have the S-50 Keyboard from Roland too. In its day it was great, but this is a different age…
