The polyphonic, 61-key, Roland D50 was released in 1987 to compete on the Yamaha DX7 market. The D-50 has become a user favorite over the years, and is hailed as being easier to use and producing better sound than the DX7. Some of its features include nice onboard effects, an innovative joystick for data manipulation, and an intuitive layout design. The external Roland PG-1000 Programmer could also be attached to the D-50 for better and more complex control over sound manipulations. The D-50 was also produced as a rack-mount unit called the D-550.
