FS:Roland D10 midi keyboard/controller, linear synthesizer

[Rixsta]

Here is my fathers old keyboard he gave to me last year, he used this when i was still a young boy in an 80s band, the keyboard is perfect for the sound of that time! im not a keyboard player ive always played guitar but he wanted to get me into playing piano, i just wasnt having it! so i would like this keyboard to go to a good home who will look after it as he did, works fine and as you see comes in a very sturdy and strong case.
What he did tell me is that its perfect as a midi controller and i think he is probably right, it could and has been used to trigger all kinds of sounds Wav Samples on a pc, Computer/Laptop altho the internal sounds are great!
Sience this item is far away from me and lives with my mother i will for now not post and make this a collect only.

"What made the D series synths unique was that they combined traditional analogue synthesis with digital sampling. Seemingly the only way to make a sound more realistic was to sample it but memory back in the 80s was expensive so there was only room to sample the attack transients. The rest of the sound is handled with conventional subtractive analogue synthesis. "

"I think the best things about the D-10 are its string pads and synth bell/atmospheric type sounds, and the on-board drum programmer is also a great feature catering for self indulgent bedroom jamming without having to worry that you're using a cheap home keyboard. The D-10 proudly displays the word 'synthesizer' on its front panel, and rightfully so!"

I know this was a while back, but I saw this and thought to add my own very late thoughts to this offering ...

I used to have a D5 ... kid brother of D10. It was my first "professional keyboard", bought used in mint condition circa early-90s. Good starter 61-key LA synth. Cool arpeggiator on it. Twas a nice step up from a rinky-dinky Casio MT-240.

I've played around with D10, D20, D50, D70 over the years and I'm still totally wowed by that era in keys and synthesis. There was a time in the mid-90s I had 6 Roland LAPC1s in a desktop computer beta-testing SAW; a bit later it was 3 Roland SCC-1s in one box beta-testing Sonar.

It's exciting just the thought of a working Roland D10. It evokes fond memories of my old D5. Right now I still have a D-110 and M-DB1 rack module and other legacy Roland gear, but really these days I'm settled more into Yamaha arranger/workstations.

The elephant in the room with legacy gear is the clock is always ticking in the lifespan. Rough climes make old gear always just a moment away from failure, failure often catastrophic, usually multiple, typically at circuit board level, and generally suddenly and inexplicably. Dust, extreme heat, humidity, dryness, etc.will do that quickly and easily.

But still, I know someone out there, perhaps someone like me, was such an enthusiast of this line of Roland keys that they took their chances on a 30-year-old keyboard.
