Roland D50 sound banks for Kronos available somewhere?

Post by omvibraphone »

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone on here had ever taken the time to convert any of the myriad commerical Roland d50 soundbanks from back in the day to Kronos format? I already found the original bank via Youtube, and I've seen some high-priced options (for the original bank plus some extras, as far as I can see) on Ebay, but would be really interested to find out if there are any more banks/ converted sounds out there somewhere.

You've probably found the following link,but will include it just in case.
It says they're the original banks plus "extra ones"....??

Yes, that's the one I know about, but thanks for posting it. Looking for other sounds apart from those in the video (the guy did a great job btw), anyone got any other leads?

Wow, nice job Irish Acts. Just listened to the demo. The DigitalNative patch takes me back to the first time I heard it in the music store. I had a crush on that patch.

Still can't log on to the Irish Acts website, keep getting an error message, tried with multiple laptops and IOS
:(
Anyone know of any other sources for Kronosified D50 sounds, preferably some of the many commercial soundbanks that were created?

This sound are for a VST NOT for the Korg Kronos.

According to the blurb on this package on the Irishacts website, a Kronos edition is included with the purchase of this item. Might be worth giving Sharp another nudge.

I recall downloading a bunch of one shots from the "digital" part of the D50 - and had a blast creating wavesequences from them. I think it was only 1 gig. I'll have to root around, but the were free and the person who posted wasn't selling them. Bear w/ me. The D50 grafted these one shots onto more traditional oscillators to form most of the basic string/horn/bellish tones...

So I found it in my download folder, it was posted in a thread called "Free sounds for Kronos" or something similar by a generous user named Stoeffel or Stoessel (sorry, I can't do any searches right now to verify anything) and was 3.9MB, a ZIP file entitled "Roland D-50 Waves.zip".

It unzips to a KSC file, of which there are 101 KMPs, each with a corresponding folder that holds a KSF.

I loaded the master KSC and used the one shots in wavesequences. Highly addictive and fun.

BTW, the latest version of Omnisphere does an admirable job at reconstituting a pretty extensive library of D50 patches, they sound damn good as Persing and Co. put out the highest quality soundware.
