The D50 and D550 (rack version of D50) both use PCM Samples for the basis of the synth.
Eric and Roland have shut down several vendors trying to sell D50 sampled patches.
You can find various soundfonts of the D50 but generally they are not considered legal by Roland - use at your own risk. This is also why it is becoming harder and harder to find D50 sample packs or soundfonts.
I wanted D50 sounds and many of the soundfonts I did find really did not do the sounds justice as the D50 has layers, samples and synth - soundfonts just couldn't live up to the actual synth or the sample I found was only sampled in C# and had no range across the keyboard.
I resorted to buying a Roland D550 rack module. Now I have all the D50 sounds, only way I could get um.
