PROGRAMMER main panel features 64 sliders + 8 buttons that manages quite every parameters of the LA synthesizers. Each value is showed on the LCD display with a nice blue backlight (sometimes it may whines after some years).

Back panel terminal connectors:
- Midi interface
- Midi merger PARAMETER input

Power supply is external with 9V DC with negative in center.

PROGRAMMER pretty straightforward to use and all functions are clear and labeled: surely this little box can help you to access deeply hidden parameters transforming the D-50 in a kind of Roland JD-800. Sadly sliders cannot be really used for real-time tricks (like common cutoff) : first of all we are talking Midi Sysex, so the internal memory buffer goes quickly out of space, then, the sliders edits affect only the following triggered note.

MEMORY none! pg saves directly to the patch you are working on, just remember to match the Midi channels between the machines.

LA SYNTHESIS if you want to deep this Roland great synthesis - please refer to the Roland D-50- the most famous synthesizer that fully takes advantages of it.
