I don't know if this will help -- it definitely won't if you're looking for a turnkey set of D-50 sounds, but if you want to know how the sounds are made (and how to make your own) then the following might be useful to know.
LA (Linear Algorithm: Roland D-series) synthesis was based on two steps using ROMpler technology. Basically, it took an instrument initial transient like the "chiff" sound that begins all flutes and appended it onto a synthesized (following) wave form.
Example: A real flute is "chiff" plus a sine wave - a real flute reads as a sine in the sustained sound so doing the sustain with a wave actually saved a lot of memory and gave a fairly realistic flute. But the same "chiff" sample could also start an organ, marimba, or any other following sound for a variety of new sounds.
It's different from just layering the two sounds together, which is pretty common, because the transient sample is very short -- kind of like changing materials of mallets used on tuned percussion or the difference between a guitar pick and a finger strum.
You have the option to build sounds similarly to LA by making one of your oscillators the transient [zero attack time, maximum volume and decay of 1 or 2 with zero sustain] and following sound using a synth wave or a different instrument. Try those acoustic instruments that have a distinct character, flute, trumpet, marimba, xylophone, bells, etc.

FWIW: One of the better results I've had is using a xylo attack on organ patches. It's not a key-click exactly, but it gives jazz organs a cool "woody" quality that I like.

I will doing for you. Please send me a link or audio example with your sounds requests. I remember that I made something Staccato Heaven before but is better to heave the example for more accuracy results.rock_star wrote:Thanks for your in depth reply actually I dont have much knowledge as you have so what I need is a ready made set to load from USB and I know Krome can run samples. This is why I asked may be some one still miss the Roland D-50 sounds.
Thanks
Kind regards,

Thanks for sharing the link with all others. Dan has already sent me the patches. Moreover I have also sent him the original wav samples of Staccato Heaven, Fantasia and Living Calliope for conversion to sound as close to D-50 but unfortunately I don't have Pizzagogo wav samples for getting converted by Dan to Krome format. So I have appealed the Pizzagogo wav samples sounds in this threat.

I hope sharp or any other would positively react on my request and Dan would do the rest for KROMIES.
