  • The RS-09 is an analog string and organ synthesizer. The organ and string sections can be played simultaneously or individually. There are some nice features like vibrato ore envelope settings. Both sounds include an individual ensemble/chorus effect and an external sound input to use the RS-09 as an effect. You also can trigger external monosynths, like from the SH family through a gate output.
    In this video I go through all functions and sound design capabilities of the RS-09. Finally I demonstrate the further features, like using the SH-9 ensemble effect for external gear and audio. You will be surprised listening, that the ensemble effect of the RS-9 sounds better than the legendary chorus. Only this feature is worth to get a RS-09. I really love this small synth. I was used from Simple Minds, The Cure, Duran Duran and many others.
    Its a very underrated keyboard in my opinion. You can get it still for about 300 to 400 USD or EUR.
    Thanks for watching this video again. I hope, it was helpful.

    I've never tried to use the gate output on my RS-09 to trigger another synth, but I'm definitely going to have to try it now that I've watched your video!

    I will never tire of that lovely string chorus sound! And adding the organ sound with the extended attack and release puts me into space! Thanks for sharing.

    Very underrated and kinda usefull for anyone who want that touch of 70's vintage sound. Especially that ensemble effect is amazing. I wasnt really fan of that strings sound (I own Logan String Melody II which really beats it hard) but that organ sound through ensemble effect is really lush sounding. Also to mention, its reliable and pretty well made.

      DestroyER82 Thank you very much. Yes the RS has maybe not the best sounding strings, but thanks to adding organ and vibrato it has a great sound of its own.

    コーラスをかけると、めっちゃキレイな音出るよね!
    低音は少しバリバリっと鳴る感じ、高音はずっと上まで高く伸びるようなセッティングが好み
    中古相場は安いけど、隠れた名機だと思ってる。
    音色の分厚さと、少し音がクリッピングしたようなジリジリ・バリバリ鳴る感じが独特で、
    ちゃんと個性のある音だよねー
