      PETER’S HOT TAKE: Listening to the walkthrough—I absolutely love the sound of this library and want it! The Roland RS-505 Paraphonic is an iconic synth. When it was out in 1978-1979 it had a list price of $1,895, so it’s pretty amazing that in 2026, we can access those sounds for a little under $50. I realize that there’s a ton of nostalgia in the appeal to those patches for me and it also has a great sound for the synthwave genre. Okay, this one is on my most get list. Anyone else?

      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.
