Roland RS-505 Paraphonic

Superb string/bass synth for sale serviced and calibrated by our synth tech. A rare and stunning-sounding synth that just oozes seventies cosmic goodness. We only got our first one of these recently but we’ve really fallen for the sound of these. See below for Instagram demos of another of these units in action.

One of the most flexible and fine sounding analogue string/bass synths ever made with particularly lush sounding strings – the release is lovely.

The synth section has a that superb squelchy Roland filter – great bass sounds.

Quadruple BBD modulation effects – stereo chorus, ensemble and flanger modes – audio input allows you to use the modulation on external sources.

Cosmetic condition is excellent. Wooden end panels are very clean as is the face. Metal sections are showing minor oxidation. Overall it’s exceptional for one of these instruments. Please see detailed photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

For sales in UK/EU the price will include VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number – please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.

• It is a 110v (converted from 100v Japanese)
• A step-down transformer is required in the UK/EU.
• We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required.

Race for space. Roland RS-505 Paraphonic and Cyclosonic 3D stereo/quad panner.
