Do a Google search on "Roland D-50 manual". This turned up several pages of results including a guy selling a D-50 manual. Also, just try calling Roland. I'm sure the number is on their website.

That card seems a bit "prosumer" to me. IOW, all the IO is on mini jacks, setup for surround and just the way the ad blurb reads. Check out some of their other dedicated audio cards. Get something that at least has 1/4" analog and perhaps SPDIF for digital interfacing. A single MIDI in and out is adequate but you'll always want more so get what you can within your budget.

The D-50 will work fine as you master keyboard. It should play VST instruments within Cubase (no need for additional software).

About getting the D-50 sounds into Cubase, I don't follow. If you're asking if Cubase can store additional sounds from the D-50 the answer is yes.

Let your internet broswer do the walking for D-50 tips.

Hi,

OK thanks!

other questions:

can i connect an additional MIDI-interface with more I/Os to the single MIDIport of the card, or do i have to do this in a different way?

do different cards have different latency, means if they support asio and the other standards, can i be sure that the latency is so small that i can play nearly in real-time?

thx!

You need a card with multiple MIDI port support to do what you're talking about. Its not something that can be added to the card.

I believe the formula is "lower buffer size = less latency". I use 256 with GigaStudio and it the latency is "acceptable".
