RS-09

•

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,

in

connecting

RS-09

to

other

synthesizers

(SH-1),

you

can

get

a

simi¬

lar

effect

to

a

polyphonic

synthesizer.

FUNCTIONS

OF

THE

COMPONENTS

KEYBOARD

RS-09

is

in

itself

a

44-key,

3

1/2

octave

synthesizer.

However

with

feet

and

TRANSPOSE,

in

effect

the

sound

range

is

over

7

octaves

as

seen

in

the

score

(P.7)

(The

possible

simultaneous

sound

range

is

over

6

oc¬

taves.)

it

upward,

the

more

em¬

phasis

is

put

on

the

This

is

effective

when

you

only

want

the

effect

on

a

note

you

want

to

for

a

long

time.

Slide

it

down

completely

when

you

want

the

vibrato

all

the

it

is

operated

by

AC

power,this

instrument

may

sometimes

generates

little

heat.

This,

however

is

not

a

sign

of

machine

failure.

«NOTES»

•Keep

away

from

interferences

that

induce

high

levels

of

noise.

Such

as

flourescent

lamps,

neon

lights

and

as

much

as

possible.

•Avoid

the

use
