Roland RS-202

The Roland RS-202 is a polyphonic string/brass synthesizer issued by Roland in 1976. It was known for its ensemble effect on strings.

Tony Banks used a Roland RS-202 a lot on the ...And Then There Were Three album, released in 1978. On "Many Too Many", for example, the string sounds are that of the Roland combined with a Mellotron M400. He blended the strings with a variety of Roland sounds - including the brass sounds - all mixed in the background to add an orchestral feel to the song.
