Hello everybody

Last year I was working a few times with the band Portishead. Their keyboard player had a Arp Solina String Ensemble with a built-in "retro-bend"-effect. This is a sort of built-in effect which makes bends up or down to the notes you play (makes sense, no?)

Now, I've got the same instrument but I'd like an effect like that which can be built in.

So, my question is:

Does anybody know of this "Retro-bend" effect for the Arp String Ensemble?

OR

Does anybody have a contact of the guy who played (plays?) keyboard with the band, or their backline technician?

I'd love to have this effect on my machine, but I can't find anything on the net about it...
