D-50 Vibe free soundbank

Here’s a free soundbank I made as a I was learning Halion, maybe someone finds it useful. It’s Roland D-50 patches redone in Halion the way they are done in the real D-50 - partials plus synth layers. Not 100% copy of course, but close enough.

Very nice Savinoff! Totally captured that vibe!
Quick question - is there any way to access the PCM partials that don’t appear in these presets?
3-Xylo1, 6-Hammer or 7-JpnDrm for example.

I started off by sampling all the partials available, not knowing which of them would be used, and then making the patches of the first bank one by one loading partials as needed. So if the available presets don’t use some partials, they didn’t make it to the bank.

Thanks for the free soundset.
These sounds are very useful.

Can you say how long it took to create that?

Can you say how long it took to create that?

It did take a couple of weeks since I was a total newbie as far as the whole synth and sound design things go, I was learning in the process. It’s been interesting though, especially getting to know how the Roland’s sound designers from almost 40 years ago have used every tiny bit of technology available back then to make these sounds, to the point where they even used the horrible D50 aliasing to their benefit.

I see - thanks.

I’ve just downloaded these patches and loaded up into HALion 7.
The patches sound very good - Thank you @ savinoff

Very nice. All the patches sound good and usable. Thanks. :+1:

I hope this idea catches on and more people start doing it.

Is it possible to open these in Halion Sonic 7.1.0?

-thanks, Mark

Very nice. All the patches sound great. Thanks.

In theory it should work. Double-click the .vstsound file after unpacking it from the .zip archive - that should register the library with the Steinberg universe.
But on my system it doesn’t work. The library does not appear in Halion Sonic after registration.

Thank You

I haven’t done it, but I think it has to be saved a certain way when using the Library Creator.

Page 549 of the Halion manual:

Family
Allows you to specify the plug-ins that you want your library to be compatible with
● HALion: These presets cannot be loaded in HALion Sonic.
● HALion Sonic: These presets can be loaded in HALion Sonic and HALion

Thanks Savinoff - Good Work :grinning:

Same here …
It shows up in HALion 7.1.0, but not in the HALion Sonic browser.

I just found this. Great work! I needed the Fantasia patch for a quick project. Now I’m going to spend a good amount of time looking at the rest. Were you able to make these patches in a one-to-one relationship with the legacy synth or did you have to use some extra Halion goodness to get them this good?

Pity, would’ve loved to give this a spin, but it seems there are too many downloads exceeded or so. It can only be downloaded by giving that service my phone number which I won’t do.

Here’s a reupload, should be fine without any phone numbers: D50 Vibe.zip — Яндекс Диск
