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 Wind And Wuthering (1976) and ...And Then There Were Three (1978) albums. On "Many Too Many", for example, the string sounds are that of the Roland combined with a Mellotron M400. He also 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.
