ABOUT the D20 and D10 were also based on samples and 2 basic waveforms but the PWM was taken away. D20 has a sequencer. the LA-Synthesis was introduced and the D50 sold well after the big DX7 success (yamaha). it had some samples like the shakuhachi along with 2 OSCs and upper + lower structure, there was a 3rd party multimode expansion available (when using it all the D50 was 8 voice polyphonic. samples could not be filtered.
ABOUT der D20 und D10 bringt die samples des D50 aber der Syntheseteil wird etwas abgespeckt: keine PWM mehr. die beiden waren eine Art D50 für weniger "Betuchte". D20 hat einen sequencer. nach dem großen Erfolg des DX7 kam dann die LA-Synthese des D50, Samples im Stile eines Shakuhachi Samples kamen zusammen mit einer klassischen 2-OSC Struktur mit ins 6 LFOs, bei Nutzung alles Stimmen mit upper + lower struktur, war er dann 8 Stimmig. Samples waren nicht filterbar.
