RE201

The RE-201 Space Echo introduced in 1973 is Roland’s most notable outboard FX unit in recent music history.

Its sound is both utility and musical producing true analogue echoes and oscillation effects. The Space Echo defines its part in vintage science fiction film in paying respect to the warped effect and atmospheric designed sounds of pioneering the electronic score in films such as Forbidden Planet, Fantastic Voyage, The Time Machine, and Barbarella.

We have designed this library to be as useful as possible while offering an insight into every sound the RE-201 Space Echo offers. This means both the internal, and external sound sources from the whirls and vibrations of its motor, to the clicks, snaps, and clunks of its switches and into the world of its echoes, spring reverb, and oscillations of its processed sound.

This collection contains 284 minutes of Space Echo sounds from sources such as its: Transformer, Motor, Solenoid, Circuit Board, Screws, Switches, Knobs, Cables, Hinges, Handle, Box Pickups, Lid Closing/Opening, Echoes, Oscillations, Rate Sweeps, Line Noise.
