Classic 80s Sounds on Your Wavestate: D-110 Sample Pack

The Roland D-110 is a classic multitimbral synthesizer released in 1988, known for its iconic 80s sounds such as “Fantasy” and “Atmosphere.” It was a streamlined version of the legendary 1987 Roland D-50, designed for use in studios with sequencers like Steinberg Pro 32.

This new collection of samples and performances brings the classic 80s sound to the Korg Wavestate. It includes over 60 performances that recreate the original D-110 sounds, as well as some original performances using the D-110 samples. You’ll find classic sounds like “Fantasy” and “Atmosphere,” along with choir, piano, brass, flute, and synth sounds. While some of these sounds are distinctly late 80s, many remain highly usable today. Additionally, I’ve recreated the D-110’s full drum kit so you can capture that quintessential 80s vibe.

This is Volume 1 (A-F), with the next set scheduled for release in a few weeks. The ZIP file contains 66 performances and all the necessary samples. To add them to your Korg Wavestate, follow these steps:
