"This synth is a rare beauty, the fatter version of the roland RS-09. capable of the most warm strings you will ever here." Anyone confirm this?

  1. i used to have one, and sound can be very close to the solina (to me, it s the closest to the solina string machine i've ever played ...)

  2. My understanding is that it is the same as the string/musical section of a VP-330.

    O Superman your heart out with it!

  3. i m not sure it is the same
    the vp330 string section is supposed to be the same as the one on the paraphonic 505
    i had at the same time rs 202 and 505
    sound was very different ...

  4. It sounds quite a bit different than the VP-330. It also behaves differently in the note release department.

  5. I have one. It DOES sound great (used a lot on Bowie's 'LOW'), but very limited. It is what it is!
