So I sent out a survey for songs to include for my 80s set last week and one of the top choices in the list was The Best by Tina Turner. I recently found out that the sounds for The Best by Tina Turner were predominantly played on a Roland D-50 when I found an outstanding recreation of the sounds on YouTube that named the specific presets used. Thanks to my lack of self control, I bought my synth-collector friend’s mint D-50 the next day which I originally intended to sample for the sound pack. But in the end I felt that it wouldn’t be in line with being a set based on the Arturia V-Collection. So I called up the preset patches on the D-50 and recreated the individual layers using the Prophet VS, DX7 V, Jup-8 and the Emulator II V. Here’s the result:
