Hohner Roland String Vox Arp String Ensemble

via this auction

"Vintage Hohner International String Vox Machine

String Section has Ensemble which is a chorus like effect just like the Arp String Ensemble. Strings sound eeriely like the Arp String Ensemble as well as a full, deep, rich, fat, lush sound. Also has harpsichord and electric piano sounds, but the real beauty is the classic vintage lush analog strings.

Steve Nieve used this with Elvis Costello and the Attractions a few years ago on tour.

Also reminiscent of Gary newman's 'Down in the Park " sound"

The auction links to this direct sample on Vintage Vibe. I normally do not like linking to direct samples on other sites, but I couldn't find it and posts must go on. Do check out Vintage Vibe. They repair vintage electronic keyboards including Wurlitzer, Rhodes, Honher and the like. I found their YouTube channel and will posting the synth-centric stuff shortly.

"This hybrid beast can produce some convincing analog sounds. You are hearing it through an Alesis MIDIVERB III effects processor (inexpensive and highly recommended)."

Wem Watkins Copicat trio

KORG MS20, ARP Odyssey and Alesis Andromeda A6 make an appearance.
Synth demos at 1:41.

"These are my three Wem Copicats. One is the classic "Custom" Copicat, model IC-400, and I think it's the oldest of the three; one is the Super IC model with 4 playback heads, and the black cat is the VariSpeed model, the only Copicat with a DC motor capable of changing tape speed, and I think this is the newest. I don't know their ages or the production years precisely, but I suppose it's something between the late 60's and the early 70's. All 3 models are solid state.
I love them, I love tape and analog echo effects in general, the Roland Space Echo is my favourite, but Copicats have something special, not only in their tone.

Plus, they come from the inventor of the tape echo, Mr. Charlie Watkins.

If you can find one in good conditions, grab it with no esitation! And if you're into computer music and you just wish to have fun with one of these babies without having to buy one, try the free emulation: WatKat. You can download it here: http://www.genuinesoundware.com/?a=sh..."
