Oberheim D-50 (Year Not Documented)
The Archive has no record of an Oberheim model called the D-50. Every "D-50" reference in the period material belongs to the Roland D-50, a different manufacturer's instrument. A 1996 clearance ad prices a "Roland D-50 + M-EX Expansion" at £349, and a 1990 book notice advertises Advanced D-50 Programming: Basses. Neither has anything to do with Oberheim.
The only Oberheim product the period record shows from that vicinity is the DPX-1 sample player. It is a separate model, not a D-50. The one qualifying period source in the file is an advertisement in Audio-Collection (April 1991, p.94). It offered sampling CDs at $59 each and mentions neither Oberheim nor the D-50. The page exists, but the model has no verified identity in the record.
- No specifications are documented for any Oberheim D-50.
- Period "D-50" references in the supplied sources are to the Roland D-50.
- The adjacent Oberheim model in the record is the DPX-1 sample player.
