Frequently Asked Questions
No, it's specifically designed for the D-05, D-50, and D-550; while MIDI messages can be sent, parameter mapping won't be automatic.
The fader travel is smooth, but the resolution might be slightly coarser than the original D-50 knobs, a trade-off for the convenience of a dedicated controller.
While the DT-1000 itself doesn't directly interface with a DAW, it allows for very precise D-50 control, which can be recorded and manipulated within a DAW using MIDI.
