I wish I had never sold mine back in the late 80's. I bought it instead of an Arp Solina because I thought it sounded thicker. I still stand by that decision.
he layered it with the moog too, being polyphonic made it much easier than building up the chords a note at a time with the moog but both methods can make very good strings.
I love that type of sound, so up lifting
Just bought one from a pawn shop for 150.00. Insanely good deal. I can't wait to have time to record with it. Great demo by the way.
These last days I've been wondering what string synth I should get, thanks to your demo I have made up my mind :) I'm going with the Roland RS-202!

I regret selling mine too - I was thinking to get a 505, but now those are getting expensive too
Genesis 1975/1978
Man, good demo... I love the sound at 2:30.
There's the Synthoma Elkorus
Tomita used one on his Planets album...? Always wondered how he got such a brilliant synthetic string sound. Maybe he layered it with effex.

sounds like ARP Omni 2 strings
with massive chorus effect it sounds similar to pipe organ in the mix
come on where is the album :)
I bought this when it came out and wasnt happy with it I quickly replaced it with a polysix
The Korg Polysix was my first synth. Yes it was capable of beautiful sounding strings. Sawtooth wave and ensemble effect.
00:00 Thieves Like Us
For me, the Korg Lambda offered a lot more. Mind you, it has quite a lot more facilities
GoodSneakers He was talking about the chords though.
No, that string sound is made with the Prophet-5 :)
Did I hear chords for New Order's Thieves Like Us??? :D
ARP Quadra
these synths which at certain times are not worth much will take on a lot of value
Realize a Jupiter 8 for 13,000 dollars!
Vangelis..
What are you playing for the first minute? It sounds so familiar
Improvisation
@@SynthManiaDotCom I love that song
I can think of another Roland string synth that buried this one. it ain't the rs09 though
rs505
RS-505 is lot better. It has envelope, filter + overall more options.
