The Riff From Gary Numan’s Children On The Roland D-50
My third video blog shows me playing the synth riff from a song by Gary Numan titled ‘Children’ as well as some footage of the Roland D-50. This is what I wrote in the description of the video:
“In the late 1980s and early 1990s, English musician Gary Numan had a great run of several recordings that included sounds from the legendary Roland D-50. For the synth riff on ‘Children’, the preset ‘DigitalNativeDance’ is used. The countless records where I have heard this patch – as a factory preset or slightly adjusted – would make a list too long to include here. It can be heard on some of the biggest recordings from that era as well as more obscure albums. For my third video blog, it was time to turn on the D-50 and play this great riff!”
I’d certainly like to write more about Gary Numan another time on my website. Click here to watch the video.
