Principle of operation

OrganDonor uses analog switches to simulate keyboard presses directly.
Normally this would require to solder two wires for each key. Luckily this
can often be avoided by grouping common signals. OrganDonor features
solder jumpers to connect common signals on the back of each analog
switch board. We already connect these jumpers for you.
In the case of the Roland RS-09 there is 1 common signal.

Summary of Contents for Roland RS-09

  • Page 1 OrganDonor features solder jumpers to connect common signals on the back of each analog switch board. We already connect these jumpers for you. In the case of the Roland RS-09 there is 1 common signal.
  • Page 2 Installation Before you place the boards please stick insulation tape on the bottom side of the boards to prevent short circuits with the case. Then stick double-sided tape on top of the insulation tape and place the boards on the bottom of the case under the keyboard like shown in the picture. Plug in the interconnection cables and the switch board cables.
  • Page 3 Take care that you don’t accidentally desolder the internal wires. Switch board 1: Wires 1 – 16 get soldered to key contacts 1 – 16. Switch board 2: Wires 1 – 16 get soldered to key contacts 17 – 32. Switch board 3: Wire 1 gets cut.
  • Page 4 Power connection You need to extend the wires of the power connector by about 20cm. To do so take some stranded wire with different colors, strip and solder to the power connector wires. Use shrinking tube to cover the joints. Then guide the wires under the keyboard to the power supply board.
  • Page 5 Installing the midi socket The midi socket can be installed on the back of the machine, we recommend the space right next to the external input. As the space is very tight you could also use a 3,5mm stereo jack instead of the standard MIDI socket.
