“Up for auction is a vintage Roland RS-09 Organ/Strings synthesizer. We have plugged it in and seems to function properly. All keys and knobs are in good shape and don’t stick. Good luck and happy bidding!” Link
“This is a Roland RS-09 synthesizer. This has been stored since the late 80′s. Appears to work fine, no keys stick.” Link
“Tested, and in proper working order. The only minor issue is the volume is a bit scratchy. However, the more I played around with it, the cleaner it was becoming. Cosmetically, there are some finish scratches, and little tape residue on the right end cap. Both organ and string sounds are working perfectly. Very cool old Roland synth.” Link
” AS IS. Seems to be working alright. I received this from my grandfather, but I’ve decided to sell towards something more versatile. E key on left hand side has no release. In other words, when playing, the E key only plays when it is held down, as soon as it is let go, the note ends. It responds to attack, however. ADSR is fully functional as far as I can tell. Small chip on that very same E key. Knobs and sliders could probably use a cleaning. The switch for “octave” is missing, but is functional (but a little hard to get your fingernail into the indention to switch). The knob for “tuning” is missing, but is functional (I’ve had no tuning problems which surprised me considering the territory).
All this being said, this machine sounds gorgeous. It’s got very dark and dreamy strings and the organ is usable thoroughly (as an organ or in lower octaves as bass). It reminds me of the strings on Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp, if you’re familiar. In a word, lush. I wish I had the space and resources to keep this old beauty.
Finally, I’ve only played with the thing for a couple of days, and am scared to take it apart from fear of breaking something, so I can’t be sure if it’s 100% functional. Aside from the E key, I think it’s working completely, but, once again, I’ve only had it for a few days. For these reasons I’m selling this as is, no returns. Happy bidding!” Link
“Here is a Roland RS 09 string/organ synthesizer from 1980. It features organ and string voices, and an incredible ensemble and chorus effect, and an input jack allowing the player to run external instruments through the effects (I recall reading that Robert Fripp would plug his guitar into an RS 09). It can be used for orchestral strings, analog 80′s synth strings, church organ, 60′s rock organ, psychedelic organ, and ethereal chords; it can be compared to a 70′s string machine (Omni, Solina, Logan, etc.) combined with a combo organ (Farfisa, Vox, Hammond, etc.) but it is more compact and much more reliable. The RS 09 is most famous for having been used extensively by the Cure on their early albums and concerts (“Funeral Party” is one of the best examples of the RS 09′s sound). It has also been played by Simple Minds, Talk Talk (on their first album), Wall of Voodoo, Robert Fripp, and (possibly) OMD. Physically, it is in good condition except for some small scratches, notes written above they keyboard, etc. Everything seems to be working. Sold as is.” Link
“oland RS-09 Organ / Strings. Produziert fette analoge Stringsounds wie man sie z.B. vom Solina kennt. Darüberhinaus kann der RS-09 aber sehr gute Orgelsounds erzeugen und sphärische Klänge, die man eher einem Synthesizer zutrauen würde. Trotz der wenigen Parameter ein sehr flexibles Gerät mit durch und durch analogem Sound. Für Soundbeispiele einfach mal ein paar youtube Videos checken. Das Instrument befindet sich optisch und technisch in Topzustand, alles funktioniert so wie es soll.” Link
“Up for sale is ROLAND RS-09 Organ/Strings analog synthesizer. The string sound and organ sounds are nice, fatty analog sounds.
This is the early version of RS-09 with rocker switches, which is said to be more reliable than the touch switches of the latter version.
The unit appears to be working fine, all the keys and knobs and sliders working well to the best of my knowledge. Maybe a slight noise on the knobs and sliders, which I guess could do with some cleaning/servicing.
Cosmetically the unit is in nice and reasonable condition for its age. There are some minor wear and marks here and there, plus a bit of aging on the metal parts, but nothing major. I will include plenty of pictures so you can see exactly how it looks. ” Link
“Biete den schönenanalog Roland RS-09 String / Organ Synthesizer aus dem Jahre 1980.
Der RS-09 kann diverse fette analoge string und zudem gleichzeitig oder einzeln analoge Organ sounds produzieren.
Er besitzt zudem einen klassischen Roland Chorus (á la Juno-60) um den Klang zu versilbern.
Einzigartig ist hierbei den RS-09 mittels des Audio-Eingangs auch “nur” als Chorus Effekt zu benutzen.
The Cure haben ihn exzessiv auf den Alben “Seventeen Seconds (1980) sowie “Faith” (1981) benutzt.
Der Zustand ist für das Alter recht gut, ein kleiner Kratzer ist allerding in der Vibrato Sektion (siehe Photos).” Link

“Roland RS-09 Organ / Strings Synthesizer
A classic piece of Roland Synth history – my much loved RS-09.
Missing a few slider knobs as indicated in the photos, top panel also has a slight dent where the Roland symbol is (not sure how that happened, has been like that as long as I’ve had it & doesn’t affect playing)

“Einen alten Analogsynthesizer – den Roland RS-09 (Organ/Strings 09). Grossartige String- und Organsounds sind damit machbar. Das Gerät funktioniert und ist auch optisch noch sehr ansprechend. Kommt mit Koffer.
This is an analog synth that in total working order. Some modification were added by a previous owner (see red switches left of keys) . The switches seem to add a subtle harmony to single notes. Great sounding keyboard! Comes with original case.” Link
“Vintage Roland RS-09. This synthesizer is sold as-is for parts or repair. All internal parts/components are original and present. All of the slider caps and one knob are missing. It is in excellent cosmetic condition and very clean.
The synth will power on and the power led illuminates. None of the led’s associated with the tone selection buttons are functioning, and it does not produce sound.” Link
“Works well, looks fantastic, sounds excellent.
Has been throughly tested, and everything seems to work.
Comes with Roland hard case (i assume it’s the original one?)” Link
“All original. Very CLEAN and Good Shape .
Very good condition !!!
’70s – ’80s , Made in Japan .
Perfect working order . Comes with original HSC.
I bought it from Synthesizer collector. Hard to find it. Very very RARE!! ” Link
“Full working order with all sliders & controls in tact.
Keyboard is in excellent order. No broken or damaged keys.
The keys are a bit on the yellow side (more so than is reflected by the rather flattering picture I took)
The ‘tone’ slider is a little stiff but works perfectly fine. After initial move it seems to loosen itself up until left for a period.
The case is broken on the right side so that the top part of the case lifts away from the base. Probably a broken screw fitting internally
The ‘Tuning’ control needs to be at the 9 o’clock position to achieve accurate tuning but it seems stable beyond that. ” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.

Some marking to the paint work and slight rust but otherwise ok. Unit is working 100%.
“Roland RS 09 is a keyboard mechanism that produces the sound of the strings as well as the rich sound of the organ.
Equipped with a 2-channel output and an ensemble capacity, you can create a deep and wide range sound with a stereo or PA system.
And with the external input jack, you can add the ensemble effect to the sounds of various electronic and electric instruments.
Perfect for live gigs as it is so compact and light but still very sturdy.
Typical 70′s analog string and organ sound.
One of the best features of this instrument is the famous Roland Chorus (analog) sound which really thickens up the sound especially when output in stereo mode.
The other useful feature is the external input so you could route other instruments through the chorus effect. ” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.
“Up for auction is a Roland RS-09 String Synthesizer. This synth has problems and will need some TLC to get back to 100%. It powers up fine, and usually produces sound, but the buttons on the front are usually unresponsive (you can’t switch footages or turn on the organ, etc.) When it is working all the sliders seem to produce their appropriate effects, all the keys work, and it sounds amazing! Really nice organ and strings sounds lush lush. Complete Polyphony. Missing all the knobs, but all the sliders and pots are still there. Great for parts or a fun repair project. Sold strictly as-is. Thanks!” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.
“Up for sale an incredible and legendary string synthesizer ROLAND RS-09.
It is in a perfect condition with only a few minor wear. The keys also are clean and perfect.
All of the functions work perfectly!
It has been purchased directly from Japan where it was made, and I believe I am only the second owner.
I have used it for over 2 years while making Minimal Synth and New Wave in a smoke-free studio. It served me well, and I hope it will serve you as well!

” For auction is a Roland RS09 analog string and organ synthesizer. This is the earlier model with the rocker switches. The synth is in really good shape – the only concern is with the right side panel. which is slightly loose. It’s not too bad, but it’s there. Sounds great! Features include a classic Roland chorus, an audio input for that chorus, and raw organ and gate outs – connection with a compatible keyboard will give you a polysynth on the cheap!” Auction ended.

“Up for sale is a Roland RS-09 keyboard, I believe from the early ’80s. The RS-09 combines a Hammond-ish organ sound with a string synth; they can be used separately or together, and there’s a wide variety of sounds available from the relatively few controls. There is a tweakable vibrato and ensemble (chorus) effect along with attack and envelope (decay) controls. It has stereo output as well.” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.
