505 String Machine is the definitive ultra-deep sampled (UDS™) string machine. The most detailed sampling of the legendary RS-505 Paraphonic ever done.

The secret weapon of Vangelis. While the CS-80 became the icon, the RS-505 was the warmth underneath, equally present across his most celebrated work. Essential on records by The Police, Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Herbie Hancock. The string machine that shaped the sound of an entire era.

505 String Machine includes expertly crafted programs built from extensively UDS™ sampled parts, capturing every nuance of the original hardware’s divide-down oscillators and analog ensemble chorus. That constantly shifting, organic phase movement that makes the RS-505 impossible to replicate with synthesis is preserved in full detail. Expanded with our custom 505 C.A.F™ modeled filter for deeper sound design while staying true to its analog soul. The result is instant tone and deep creative flexibility.
