During
live
performance,
you
can
easily
select
a
PATCH,
which
is
the
combination
of
two
Tones,
together
with
programmed
E.Q.,
chorus
and
reverberation.
These
other
parameters
are
referred
to
as
COMMON
parameters
since
they
are
common
to
both
Tones.
Throughout
the
process
of
programming
the
D—50,
the
operation
remains
simple
and
logical.
Even
so,
to
further
improve
the
ease
with
which
sound
can
be
created,
an
optional
programmer,
the
PG—1000
is
available,
which
graphically
displays
all
the
parameters
of
the
D—50,
making
it
exceptionally
simple
to
operate.
However,
it
is
the
performance
characteristics
such
as
after—touch,
and
the
control
of
every
aspect
of
the
sound
that
makes
the
D-50
a
totally
new
instrument,
These
things
and
a
sound
that
can
only
be
described
as
unique,
the
LA
sound,
