My brother used it a lot with the sequencer, but that was about twenty years ago. I've tried using the sequencer a little bit, but found it very frustrating. My diskette drive no longer works, so I haven't bothered with it. I'm using my computer to sequence.

Roland seems to have actually laid out the menus pretty well, but the labels can be confusing and navigation takes some practice. It helps to think visually and try to remember the layout of the menus. Maybe even make a diagram. There are a bunch in the manual, but none of them have the entire menu system mapped out.

Just bought me a 1988 Roland D20. what a machine. the manual here sure was helpful tho not the easist thing to get the hang the hang of. i think ive worked out everything except how to record and sequence tracks hence the sequencer mode. could anyone possibly give me an idea of an order of buttons to press you know? also does anyone else use it without a computer or other midi devices? Cheers

I am posting this here not only for fellow D-20 owners, but also for myself. I just found an incredible website (http://www.avtandil.narod.ru/d20e.html) that has a bunch of stuff for the D-20. I know, [beep] , right? This thankless individual obviously spent some time and effort finding and documenting various utilities and patches for this seldom-loved keyboard. CHECK THIS (http://www.avtandil.narod.ru/atarie.html) OUT: Steinberg actually made a synth editor for this thing back in 1988 for the Atari ST! You can run it in an emulator! I trust many D-20 owners will be interested.

Just dug my d20 out after 20 years... i have may unfinished sequences i would like to load into Logic Pro 9. Does anyone know how that can be done?

Thanks in advance :)

Does anyone know how to reset it or something, cus the left side does not play the same sound as the right one... sorry for my bad english
