Bad Gear x Roland D-05

Welcome to Bad Gear, show about world&most-hated audio tools. While timeless purity of analog synths is easily cloned, dated-sounding cheese dispensers based on crude samples and proprietary digital tech can still be protected by earthly laws. Speaking of which, today we are going to talk about Roland D-05. This 2017 limited edition Boutique synth is - roided-up V-Synths and Roland&very own Cloud plugin aside - only way to recreate late-80s flavor of iconic D-50 and question is not if someone could make cheap copy of this instrument - question is whether they should.
