The Roland RS-09 was an analog organ and strings synthesizer, closely related to the Saturn-09, which was limited to organ sounds. Released in the late 1970s, it uses a classic Top Octave Generator with 12 oscillators for the highest octave, while octave divider circuits generate the lower notes, enabling full polyphony across both sections. The Mark I model was launched at the end of 1978 and was refreshed as a Mark II model in May 1980.
The string and organ sounds can be used separately or together, with the ensemble effect adding movement and stereo depth, similar to the classic JUNO 6/60 chorus, but with a distinctive sound.
It also included an external audio input, a rare feature for synths of its type. While limited in scope, the RS-09 delivered warm, classic analog textures, making it a practical and characterful instrument for its time.
I have been a customer and fan of AudioThing for a long time. If anyone here hasn’t checked out their plugins, they are really good; I can definitely recommend them. And this is the second video I’ve seen where Manuele Montesanti is doing a demo, and I really enjoy his playing and soloing.
