			==Solo Tones==
			The Roland SD-50 features 3 "solo tones" that have special detail and don't use the traditional Roland-style PCM synthesis engine as the rest of the sounds on the unit.

			Sporting articulations (staccato, glissando) and playing styles (like legato, growls) accessible over CCs, proper dynamic changes through velocity and programmed sound details to imitate the acoustics of the instrument. If this sounds familiar, it's because they are seemingly SuperNATURAL tones that can be found on units like the [[Roland INTEGRA-7]].
