Was in a very good new wave band in the 80's and we had one of these. It sounded great and blended in with the band perfectly. Sort of a moody cross between church organ and strings. We got a Juno sixty a little later, but I always thought the funky little black RS-09 sounded better and looked cooler. Analog keyboards had so much personality back then.
This sounds bloody awesome. They don't make synths that sound anywhere near this good these days. I was listening to demos of the Roland SH-201 earlier. It's a pile of shite! Roland need to start making analogue synths again.
They will never ever will get back into that scene, the production costs of analog gear are in no relation to the earnings. Analog sounds more powerful, and I can tell by experience, when it comes to interaction between the internal parts, or distortion, digital can only loose...
I got one of this keyboard... same model but some of the control(ensamble, volumen and tune)are a bit diffrent. The brand logo and the model of the keyborad ("Roland and RS 09") are orange in mine.
First time I've heard the sounds of RS-09.Never know it sounded this nice.5 stars from me on your Prodigy,RS-09 and Juno106 demos.(I've got Roland Juno60 and SH-2, I love them).

Beautiful haunting sounds, but rather different (in a good way) from the Solina though

thats really cool, does it have a button like the one on the SH-201 that makes it so only one note can play at a time??

@Maccied00dle Probably; from what I've seen if a synth is polyphonic there is usually some option to make it monophonic.

i totally agree with you. i like the analog sound of this little synth better than the sound of my juno too.
thanks for your comment.

yes, these fat solina-type strings you don't get from a Juno.
On the other hand, the Juno-60 is a real polyphonic synth with more flexibility and great sounds!

A several million dollar turnover and a HUGE underground market for analogue and analogue modelling says they can keep their asses where they're at.
I wasn't impressed by the 201 either.
