Second generation D-50 style synthesis. The D-10 is a Digital Linear Arithmetic Synthesizer and the D-110 is its upgraded rackmount version. Capable of decent acoustic sounds and great new synth-type sounds the D-10/110 is a great and cheaper alternative to the popular D-50. It has a confusing synthesis / editing method composed of tones, partials and timbres. Basically it all boils down to tricky programming which, if you know what your doing, can have interesting and unique results. On-board drum sounds, reverb effects and internal / external memory storage are also a plus.

The D-110 rackmount version adds 6 individual outputs, and the follow-up D-20 keyboard version adds an 8-track sequencer. Definitely worth a listen for any musician on a budget! It has been used by Suzanne Vega, Future Sound of London, and Information Society.

I stupidly sold my D110 and now I wish i knew where I could find the D110 or D20 sounds as wav or emulations. I really miss the Zark strings very much.
A most underrated synth indeed.

Infact I got all the original Rom cards for it and I have so much fun programming huge sounding synthscapes. I route each sound to a different channel in the mixer and process them with ext OUTboards (but not even often) and man... I could do an entire album with this lil' baby.

This D-110 is the master for ambient pads. It's thin digital sound is good drones and soundscapes. Very difficult to program though.
