罗兰的RS202迪斯科时代的模拟弦乐合成器重生
超过一千个Disco热门的弦！ •罗兰（Roland）的经典合奏/合唱效果首次亮相•温暖而坚韧的模拟音调–与更礼貌的弦乐合成器形成鲜明对比
罗兰（Roland）的RS202始于1976年，是罗兰（Roland）的标志性产品。它的特色是经典的合奏/合唱效果的首次出现，此效果随后会修饰Juno和Jupiter系列，并在很大程度上促进了Roland大型模拟机的温暖和运动。各位，您首先在这里看到它吗？
但是，RS202并没有成为一个巨大的合成器的雄心。这是一台简单而简单的弦乐机器，尽管在两个String片段的旁边有一个有用的Brass部分。它还具有音调控制和美妙的Ensemble的两种风味，可以使事物生动起来-位置II发出郁郁葱葱的合唱，而位置I则添加了生动活泼的调制效果，以创造出吸引了一代人想象力的声音。 RS202整齐地进入了Disco场景，几乎定义了“迪斯科弦”的声音-它的特征是甜美而高扬的八度音阶，但有趣的是中音粗糙而原始。 （从这种意义上来说，这与洛根和戈德温形成了鲜明的对比：在达到高音之前，边缘音调要粗糙得多。）
颤音控件具有预延迟功能，可以使颤音听起来更自然，并且通过“慢速/快速”切换和连续可变的释放控件来进行简单的信封雕刻。很好的是，这两个Strings音调不仅仅是彼此的八度音阶复制：上提琴/中提琴的音调明显更薄，而下提琴/贝司的音调更厚且模糊，因此将它们混合在一起可以产生有用的声音传播。总而言之，RS202充满了冲击力，尤其是迪斯科发烧友蜂拥而至。
我们的版本在功能上与原始版本非常接近，从而使Roland设计的简洁性大放异彩。我们增加了立体声效果的Width控件，完整的ADSR包络以及在背面周围的一些有用效果-覆盖了现代合唱以补充老式的Ensemble / Chorus效果，移相器，Echo，旋转扬声器和一个建模的Amp Cab选择。 （Amp Cab模拟器确实会改变声音的音调，非常适合获得更加压缩，频率受限的声音。）
当然，弦线202在自然的环境中听起来绝对是太棒了–超过Disco的拍子，穿上喇叭牛仔裤刺穿时髦的即兴乐段-但它也很适合用来铺垫任何需要弦线垫的音轨，而弦线垫会趋于“坚硬而粗糙”而不是“甜而滑”。它也有点前卫摇滚般的音调，就像在《天空守望者》中不会放过它一样。我们真的很喜欢
Roland’s RS202 disco-era analogue string synth reborn
The strings that soared above a thousand Disco hits! • Roland’s classic Ensemble / Chorus effect gets its first outing • Warm yet gritty analogue tonality – a great contrast to more polite string synths
Roland’s RS202 hales from 1976, and was something of a landmark product for Roland. It featured the first outing of the classic Ensemble / Chorus effect that would later grace the Juno and Jupiter lines, and which contributed in large part to the warmth and movement of Roland’s big analogue machines. You saw it here first, folks ????
The RS202 had no ambition to be a huge polysynth, though. It was a string machine, plain and simple, albeit with a useful Brass section incorporated alongside the two String footages. It also had tone controls and two flavours of the wonderful Ensemble to liven things up – position II gives a lush chorus, while position I adds some lively modulation to create the sound that captured the imagination of a generation. Stepping neatly into the Disco scene, the RS202 pretty much defined the sound of ‘disco strings’ – its character being sweet and soaring in the top octaves, but interestingly gritty and raw in the midrange. (It’s quite a contrast to Logan and Godwin in this sense: a much more rough-round-the-edges tonality until you get to the high notes.)
The Vibrato control has a pre-delay allowing more natural-sounding swells of vibrato, and simple envelope sculpting came courtesy of an Attack Slow / Fast switch and a continuously-variable Release control. Rather nicely, the two Strings patches aren’t just octave clones of each other: the upper violin/viola patch is noticeably thinner, while the lower cello/bass patch is thicker and fuzzier, so mixing them yields a useful spread of sounds. All in all, the RS202 packed quite a punch, and Disco enthusiasts in particular took to it in droves.
Our version sticks pretty close to the original in features, letting the simplicity of Roland’s design shine through. We’ve added a stereo-ising Width control, a full ADSR envelope, and a block of useful effects around the back – covering a modern Chorus to complement the vintage Ensemble/Chorus effect, a Phaser, an Echo, a Rotary speaker and a modelled Amp Cab selection. (The Amp Cab simulator really changes the tone of the sound, and is great for getting a more squashed, frequency-limited version of the sound.)
Strings 202 of course sounds absolutely fantastic in its natural setting – soaring above Disco beats and stabbing out funky riffs with its flared jeans on – but it’s also great for bedding down any track that needs a string pad that tends towards ‘gritty and textured’ rather than ‘sweet and smooth’. There’s a bit of a prog-rock-y tone to it too, like it wouldn’t be out of place in Watcher of the Skies. We really like it
