1) SSI-D201 - Dance Mix
“Dance Mix” bank of sounds includes an array of useful sounds and textures often associated with R&B (vintage & modern) and hip-hop music styles.
Individual tones/patches range from sampled instrument emulations to popular analog themes. Sounds include: brass instruments, basses, organs, pianos, guitars, clavs, analog synths, drums/percussion and sound effects. Also included are some rap textures and drum kits. Modulators are implemented where applicable.
2) SSI-D202 - Digital Synths
Digital Synths includes an array of useful sounds and textures which emulate the popular breathy sound of the popular D-50 L/A synthesizer. Individual tones/patches range from solo instruments, movie type pads, basses, bells and sound effects. Also included are pianos, brass, strings and some percussion. Modulators are implemented where applicable. Sounds include “Choir 1,” “DigiVoice,” “Husky Foxes,” “9 gisyz,” “Z HARP,” “Fretless LA BASZ,” “FatZo Solo” and more.
3) SSI-D203 - New Age Collection
New Age contains an array of textural, mood-inducing sounds that are useful in all new age and film applications or anything that needs that extra touch of atmosphere and evocative ambience. Individual patches range from sampled instrument emulations to popular analog themes and Fairlight/PPG-type sounds.

Sounds include “Breathy Rhodes,” “Latin Feeling,” “Landing,” “FlutoSparkle,” “Marshlands,” “Toy Piano,” “Spirits” and many more.
4) SSI-D204 - Multi-Timbral Artist Series
We came up with this collection designed specifically for multi-timbral sequencing!
Each of the 64 tones included here stand on their own as complete sounds (none of them are “halves” of other patches). In addition to convincing acoustic and electric pianos, guitars, organs, basses and lead sounds, we’ve included special FX sounds, rap drum kits and even some “wave-vector” type sounds to round out this package.
NOTE: Our D-20/10/5 banks are optimized to use the dual-voice “Performance” mode on the instrument. This allows us to create complex, rich patches which just cannot be duplicated at the timbre level.
There are only 64 user programmable tones, and 128 programmable patches on the instrument, it seemed quite resonable to use all the resources available on the machine to achieve a good variety of sounds—even using some of the factory ROM tones in addition to the 64 user tones we programmed.
Many of the user tones were programmed to be attack transients or partials in complex patches which used other tones as sustained wave-form elements.
Despite this programming approach, we think these patches compare favorably to anything available, but admittedly, if you are using the multi-timbral mode exclusively, you will not be able to recieve the full benefit of our programming efforts.
All D-50 banks contain 64 new patches, 64 new performances and easy loading instructions.
