Roland's new V-Cards are a series of PC Cards capable of turning the V-Synth into a variety of retro and future-oriented synthesizers. The first card is the VC-1, which magically transforms the V-Synth into Roland's legendary D-50 L/A Synthesizer. Simply pop in the card, power up, and you'll be taken back to the year 1987, when Roland's D-50 ruled supreme. Relive the D-50 in all its glory - including full programmability and all the original Patches like 'Digital Native Dance,' 'Living Calliope' and more. Every circuit and precise detail of this legendary synthesizer has been faithfully modeled. It doesn't just sound like a D-50, it is a D-50! Look for more V-Cards in the future. Only from Roland.
