it's not there
ROLAND RS 9 Synthesizer, 88 Keys, 64 Voice polyphony, General Midi 2 compatable, 512 Sounds (many XV-Sounds present), 128 Performances, 45 Arpeggiator Patterns, 6 Realtime-Controllers
Not Roland's best sounding samples. They aren't really very good at all.
I've used this instrument in our church for about 10 years. It is
lightweight. The user buttons don't really save right. I save d a
favorite setting on Preset one and it changes all of the preset buttons
to that same setting. We had it in for a repair recently because it was
powering down ofter 10 seconds every time you turn it on. It cost
$85.00 for the repair.
good morning!
I'd like to by RS-9. Do you have one?
How much?

Steven
I own this synth. I moved overseas & left it back in the US.
And I miss it a lot. I bought an RS-50 where I live, because
I liked the lay-out of the RS synths & especially the assigned
knob controls.
The arpeggiator is easy to use & powerful.
The RS piano patches are perfect for me.
The piano key action is perfect for me.
Some of the organs (Animals Organ) are perfect for me.
I miss this synth a lot. I wish it were with me right now.
I bought an M-Audio Axiom 61 and I don't like it nearly as much.
First off - the knobs aren't already assigned. The RS-knobs
are assigned. That makes it very easy to shape the sound in my
modules.
I use MIDI a lot. The RS-9 was a great MIDI controller,
especially because of the knobs. But the internal patches
were good enough for me to use on their own too.
Finally, the RS-9 was reasonably priced, 88 keys & weighed
less than 24 pounds. Roland hit the jackpot with this synth.
It's a shame it did not become more popular. At 23.8 pounds
& 88 keys with usable patches - this is a great gigging synth.
I miss my RS-9 & I use my RS-50 every day.
(I own several synths BTW, Korg, Roland, Yamaha & Kawai).
