Actual Entry (non editable)
D-10 - Multi Timbral Linear Synthesizer (c) 1988 Roland. The D-10 is a 32 voice Digital Linear Arithmetic Synthesizer (LA Synthesis). The D-10 borrowed the D-50’s LA sound generator, and also had multitimbral capability and rhythm machine functions. It has seven types of digital reverb, and the first built-in ROM player. - TRIVIA - The D-10 was part of Roland’s D-series family, alongside the D-50, D-20, and rackmount D-110, all sharing the same LA synthesis architecture. Unlike the flagship D-50, the D-10 offered a simplified interface and reduced programming depth, making it more accessible to home studios and live performers. Its 8-track sequencer allowed users to create complete arrangements without external hardware, a feature uncommon in many synthesizers of its class at the time. The instrument became popular in MIDI-based studio rigs during the late 1980s and early 1990s, especially for pop, film scoring, and electronic music production. Popular users: Suzanne Vega, Future Sound of London, and Information Society. LA synthesis gave the D-10 its characteristic sound: punchy digital attacks combined with smooth synthesized sustain waves, widely associated with late-80s production aesthetics. The D-10 could function as a multitimbral sound module when controlled externally, effectively serving as a compact workstation in MIDI setups. Its rack sibling, the D-110, was especially common in studio racks due to its identical sound engine in a more space-efficient format. The D-series helped establish Roland as a leader in hybrid digital synthesis, bridging the gap between early FM synthesizers and later sample-based workstations. - SOURCES - Machine's bios.
