Gus Lozada Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I have a D50 now.He will be a good brother to the SY99 and the DX7. But I have not found a FREE librarian for it for OS X (Snow Leopard).I am too damned lazy to program my own patches from scratch and would like to try the dozens of SYSEX files available in the web. So, somebody know a good FREE or not-so-expensive librarian for the D50 for MAC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mididoc Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi Gus, don't know about one for the Mac but there is a decent PC one I have used with success for my D-550. Maybe it can run under BootCamp? Or perhaps you can snag a PC from someone to load your synth using it? Here is the link:http://www.mediafire.com/?e5bdgj5sgputz4dGood luck!Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Don Solaris Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 Paging Dr. Solaris... Paging Dr. Solaris... For Mac there's Midiquest with a great editor and librarian. For windows: the Never Finished Editor aka D-50 VE(not finished yet). There's an old version which works but not fully - you can't select a square wave. And the Sounddiver of course. Some ppl use it - i don't. My vote: Midiquest with excellent D-50 editor.

Members Don Solaris Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 So, somebody know a good FREE or not-so-expensive librarian for the D50 for MAC?It's not free, but is useful to have it, as you can update it and add new stuff (new synths for free). Worth the investment. I think there's a trial. Give it a shot. BTW why not D-550? Less space. And you can route a mod wheel to a cutoff. D-50 doesn't even have a mod wheel - LOL! + 800. D-50 cool. D-550 FTW & send me some tequila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the D50 and DX7 are actually kinda small, portable synths. I also wanted a M1 but I ended up buying the update for Snow Leopard for the Legacy Collection, so I'm covered and have its sounds in a plug-in. Thank you all!!

Members coffeeshopped Posted July 10, 2017 Members Share Posted July 10, 2017 If you have an iPad, I make an app called Patch Base that just added a nice editor for the D-50. It's a free download to try out! I did a short write-up about it here: https://coffeeshopped.com/2017/07/roland-d-50-and-d-550-editors-added-to-patch-base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
