Thank you for showing my program. A very good review. I have also made a Web MIDI version of this program that will work on all platforms directly from a web page with a web browser that supports Web MIDI API.

Set up D-550 to recieve SYSEX
Press TUNE. Select Protect with the white single right arrow button and set it to OFF. Press EXIT.
Press and hold down DATA TRANS. Select B.Load with the white single right arrow button and then press ENTER. Release the DATA TRANS button. The display should now show "Are you sure?". Press ENTER to confirm.

Hello, ROLAND? THIS is why you should incorporate Sysex into your Boutique synths! Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you for this information! I need to change the battery in my D-50 first. My Keyboard is over 20 years old never had to change battery. Didn't even know there was a battery.

[Vangelismusic]

Thanks! my friend this was a great find for me :)

Hypersynth's HCARD-750 for the Roland D-50 is another option. You can copy any SysEx files (up to 4096 presets) on single card.

Hi Brilliant video thanks. Ive just purchased a D50 with a flat internal battery for a bargain price, so I'll definitely be trying this. I have two questions - is the internal Eprom memory in the D50 big enough to hold all the .syx files from the cards?, or do you have to load a card 'as and when' you want to use a particular card, I'm guessing not - as is the memory overwritten each time you load a new card?

Also, can you recommend/link a USB to MIDI interface cable that works with the D50 & this software (I know alot of the cheap ones dont work)

Thank you in advance

Hej, jeg skal se om der også findes kort til Korg M1❤

Greetings from Norway 😊 I just bought a Roland D-50 and it sounds amazing. But I would also like to achieve this. How do you connect the synthesizer to the PC? Appreciate an explanation 😁 Do you have to have an interface with midi in/out? I have tried with a cheap one from ebay, with midi connectors at one end, and usb at the other. I get it up and running, but the PC can't send over to the synth, it just says waiting....

[matthewgaines]

If I had a D-50 and had to have the cards, I get the D-05 and get all the cards and D-05 unique content. It is sysex compatible with the D-50 and D550. Since I don’t have a D-50, I accepted the D-05 as a acceptable substitute.

The link shares links to a page that states that the account was suspended... Is that a Roland action to enforce their sounds copyrights or did the program move somewhere else?

[phi]

can you also save custom patches via usb to pc? or is the roland memory card required?

[tommyfeinstoff]

These are not the same presets that are on HCard right?

[crhkrebs]

SynthFellow, I'm confused about your instructions for a SysEx transfer, especially with the "Press the Split Point button" part. Maybe it's different with my D-550? Pressing and holding Data Transfer gives a menu showing "B Dump B Load Int>Crd Crd>Int". You move the left and right cursor to make your selection. This is where you get "Are you Sure?". Worked for me for years. Is this something on the keyboard version?

[musicbrum]

Hey Friend! What happened to the link and how can i have it in offline mode in my mac? What google has done?...

[pure-souls]

I am facing "Data Transfer Error" with my Roland D50 when i try to load patches from computer by a midi cable. It is maybe version 2 Roland D50. So what can I do?Anybody help me.

[JohnPaulCamposHohnerAnacleto]

What interface do you need to have between your computer and the D50 to accomplish this?

[egassi]

I'm hoping you will know the answer to this. I changed the battery in my room d50 and it does not hold the sounds in its memory. Occasionally it says check internal battery even though I know it's brand new and working I tested it. The battery is held securely in its slot. Any ideas?
