Roland D-10 Synthesizer


The Roland D-10 is pretty much the little dorky brother of the Roland D-50. Roland tried to cram a lessor D-50 into the D-10 but also include some added, useless features.

I found mine for a real steal at a 2nd hand shop who didn't realize replacing the connected power cord would be an easy affair.

This is far from a main tone source for me. I use it mostly for adding little highlights of sounds here and there. I also use it to layer the same phrase on another synth sound to fill it out a bit. Overall, if you can find one for under $100, I say buy it.

SAMPLE: This synth is in almost every song on Arecebo. Which parts? I couldn't really say. Just listen to a track and find the little sounds in the background. That's the D-10.
