I really enjoy creating music aided by computer.
and have Roland D110 and Yamaha V2, this is sold as a name
of DX11 in U.S.
I've been read the magazine "KEYBOARD" and found
many ads providing optional patches for synthesizers. For example
"Soundsation","Valhara","Sound Source Unlimited" and so on.
Are these patches popular and well sold ?

Valhalla is a pretty solid supplier of patches. I have bought patches
for the Ensoniq ESQ-1 from them. I was pleased with the quality of the
patches overall. Those that were similar to factory patches were
considerably better. The response to my order was prompt, I have no
complaints about their service.
If I could fault them I would say, like many patch suppliers, they try
to stuff everything into the collection: some pianos, organs, strings,
brass, emulations of older analog synths, sound effects, etc. Obviously
if you have multiple synths you don't need duplicated patches, what
would be better would be to buy patches that are based on the strong
points of the machine.
A few suppliers, Cesium is one, do sell their patches by type, that is
you can order sets of just piano patches, just organ patches, etc. so
you only pay for the sort of sounds you are looking for.
I have also bought patches from Voice Crystal, they were better than
Valahalla, although more expensive in a $ per patch comparison.

I purchased my KORG M-1 RAM card from Valhalla and had them blow
some patches and combinations and the time of purchase (for an extra
$15.00. (M102)
No complaints.

Does anyone have any experience with the D-110 sound cards provided by
Valhalla? I keep seeing their ad in Keyboard magazine and am tempted... I'm
looking for better piano and orchestral sounds than those that come as
standard, if that helps.

Good Lord... when I did my DIR/TITLE=VALHALLA I must have misspelled something cos it said "No such note"... Ah well, at least our friendly mod crew is up to par. Gavin | |||||

This note originally had "Valhalla" mis-spelled, hence the error.
I also created and added a "Valhalla" keyword...
