Roland System 100m

william....
 try to get a hold of a roland dimension d and  boss
rx 100 (or roland rv 100, or re 201...), I use
sometimes the roland paraphonic 505 string and synth
machine...It has the same built in  three mode chorus
also found in the dimension d. Mode three allows for
glorious stereo phasing chorus.  I run external synths
throught the ensemble effect like my 100m.  Just two
osc monophonic it sound like an arp string
ensemble....I really love these old roland ensemble
effects myself...The roland rs 09 string and organ
synth has great chorus as well with an ext in.  Also I
have been considering getting a boss ce 1
chorus/vibrato - legend has it it is the warmest
mushiest chorusever made.....I have tried running my
mxr digital delay - maybe one of the best delays ever
made - between the oscs and the filter so that the
effect is more implicit, more integrated with the
patch......But truly, the one order of business that i
can't do without is the spring reverb...It turns lead
into gold......
