I really like this part in this video:



At about 1:11 into the video, on top of the string, a choir comes in, and it sounds really beautiful. I know that the RS-505 has the same strings as the VP-330, but that's it, right? It doesn't have that choir function like the VP-330? Or is the user using the vocoder? I can't really tell...either way, I can't get that choir function on the RS-505, correct? Because to be honest, I would much rather spend something like $500 for that and the strings than an extra $1,000 or so on a vocoder. Thanks for any help.

The VP-330 has a "human voice" preset which the RS-505 does not have along with the actual vocoder.

the RS-505 and VP-330 do not have the same strings. The 330's and 202 are pretty much the same. The 505 and 303 share the same case.

The RS-505 does have an audio in but just process the singnal thru the chorus also sold as unit and called "The Demension D"

So out of all the string boards that Roland released, only the VP-330 is able to produce that kind of choir sound in the part of the video I pointed out?

The RS's can not do that....only the VP-330

Beautiful, that's what I wanted to know, thanks. I guess I'll stick to buying the VP then and not the RS models. Thanks again.
