Roland rs 505 paraphonic string synthesizer

[RogueRotting360]

Great demo. Could you show off the tone divider? If you already have, I apologise. I've heard about it, but I'm not what it sounds like.

[griff500grr]

Forget anonymusum, great demo of a highly underrated piece of kit. On my wish list..

[lionelred]

Got one in the post can't wait

amazing video!!!

[wianbrilson]

Nice demo! Well done.

[quadcam24v]

why can't roland start making good stuff like this again?!

lovely lush sounds =)



[quadcam24v]

truly awesome and evil sounding :D

[docfraktal]

I love this sound, such a Chroma !! Thanks for this demo of a rare vintage keyboard !

[NeonDecor]

same strings as VP330 but without vocoder but WITH synthesizer with great filter and the chorus is extended. This is truly the most beautifull stringsynthesizer you can combine the strings and synthesizer features to create very deep and thick strings.

[RudyZombe]

Unforgettable sounds. Thanks!.

[mattsynth]

Great demo with good photos, Thanks.

[pianist007]

Nice demo, thanks. Is this the same unit you have on ebay now ?

[zordid]

that low end is melting my spine... i'd love to have an rs505.

[anonymusum]

One of the most boring demos

[abertronic]

@anonymusum Sorry , Im not a pianist. This demo is simply to show the sounds of this keyboard, nothing else.

[MrAsmorod]

@anonymusum

I don't think so.

Beside the sound of this demo is very good.

[pahernot]

@anonymusum

Contrariwise, this is one of the most powerfull and beautiful demos.

I like it very, very much!

[willvink]

@anonymusum I disagree

[tooleyoclock]

@anonymusum Actually, I found this demo extremely refreshing. Love the subtle chord changes and long atmospheric spaces. Some people just want to play fast, obnoxious solos and cracked out sequences on these analog synths. Takes more thought and musicianship to center your playing around great chords and overall composition.

[RudyZombe]

What a loveley instrument. Unforgettable. Thanks for the demo!.

[raymondleeleggs]

huge sound!

[theDarkMechanics]

love the chunky buttons and knobs! chorus sounds great

[warpto80]

Is it the one used by Goldfrapp in "Number 1"?

[treeZon1]

how much is this going for?...i make beats and i wanna get me some PHAT azz vintage synths...but im guessing its real expensive

[theoriginaldanalogue]

Nice synth! I walked into a shop that had one being sold at that very moment for £60!!!!

If only I went in 2 minutes earlier.

It has a really warm and rich tone. V cool

[dncviorel]

you can buy it on e-bay for 2200$...hahahaa

[Dogboy73]

Wow! What a find that would have been. There's one on fee-bay right now going for just under £1000! (BIN)

[sidbolero]

sounds really nice and warm

[myrmur]

Are you using an external delay or reverb or a lot of release only?

[abertronic]

No external delay or reverb .Just lots of release and probably the chorus .

[myrmur]

Great!

How effective (long) can be the attack of the three envelopes?

Thank you.

[abertronic]

To be honest , I cant remember , but Im guessing not so long .

[Dogboy73]

I want one! Amazing sound. Absolutely classic.

[rincewind801]

Pure Awesomeness. The sound is so FAT.

[davidryle]

I owned one of those in the 80's. It was the only synth I've ever regretted selling. The biggest sound of all time.

[Halunlimited]

Cool effects!
