Giulio Zausa has released a plugin called RdPiano, which accurately emulates several Roland SA-synthesis instruments. He analysed the custom silicon chips in order to create the plugin. There is an approximation of the BBD chorus and tremolo effects.
Emulations include the MKS-20, RD1000 and the Rhodes MK-80 electric piano.
It’s available as AU, VSTi and standalone.
