Roland sure did hit it out of the park with the D-50. Anyone else love this thing as much as I do?

Electronic music history and culture.
If only I could time travel and buy three or four of these. Sigh. Nice work Roger...
Chances are you never played a strap-on Siel keytar with hairspray hair and gnarly 80s fashion. But someone must have. And they would have had the most bodacious time doing so. But... I'll stick to the SH-101 thanks.
Okay so when Roland DO try to get a little weird, it just feels like... they should stick to the serious adverts. Another cracking vintage synth magazine ad.
Earnest but a little... awkward? The old Roland magazine adverts for their synthesizers and effects units were sensible, factual, but never quite as thrilling as the hippy-era competitors. Wouldn't mind a chance at buying a few brand new Space Echoes though...
Dave Smith's team at Sequential (and every other variation of the company name) were the undisputed masters of the synthesizer magazine advert for the longest time. This is so strange and wonderful... #synthesizer #davesmith #vintage #analogsynths
Not going to lie, I really want one of these jackets, and those bright yellow flightcases would be nice too... #ARP #synthesizer #vintageads
From a time where the synthesizer ads were really, really, really terrible. We've come a long way.
Not just a music legend, but a legendary supporter of music technology innovation. Stevie Wonder put his money up to support many emerging synth and FX companies. Respect.
