some absolutely killer sounds for soundtrack work and dance music, although a bit dated for modern styles. the piano and brass sounds aren't much to write home about. but the pads and effects are truly classic.

fathoming the LA synthesis process is a huge pain if you're using the D-550's screen. to really plumb the depths, you'll need the external PG-1000 programmer board that's filled with a ton of sliders.

Comments About the Sounds:
it's a little dated, like it's sister the D-50. but since it's not a ROMpler, it's pure synthesis
