[Product Description]
The ultimate analog ensemble.
Roland's masterpiece public synthesizer, the RS-505.

This is the legendary Roland model Paraphonic-505 (RS-505), born in the late 1970s during the golden age of synthesizers.
It features a paraphonic specification that allows you to play the strings, synth, and bass sections independently or simultaneously.
Its thick, warm, and unique analog sound cannot be replicated by modern digital synthesizers.

In particular, the brilliant string sound, which seems to vibrate the air, created by Roland's traditional Ensemble Effect, continues to captivate many artists.

[Product Condition]

This unit has been carefully used and stored until its listing.

All keys and buttons have been tested and confirmed to be working.
No issues with sound output or switching.

During use, there was no noticeable key warpage or crackling from any of the sliders or knobs.

As I used the unit with its built-in speaker, only the OUT terminals were confirmed.
Other external output terminals have not been tested due to equipment limitations.

As this is a vintage instrument, it is being sold as-is, with the understanding that some detailed crackling or maintenance due to age may be required.

Please only purchase if you understand that this item is over 45 years old.


Lightly cleaned.

There are minor scratches from use and some rust on screws, but it is in relatively good condition considering it is a vintage item.

There is a slight bend on the knob indicated by the circle in the image, but this does not affect its operation or functionality.
