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.
In the case of the Roland RS-09 there is 1 common signal.

- Page 1 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.
- Page 2 Preparation After the first batch of OrganDonor we decided to consolidate different synthesizer models in one kit where reasonable. That means that there might be more screws than needed for your model, or the wires are too long, or there might even be a wire assembly you don’t need for your installation.
- Page 3 Switchboard 2 16pin Header – make sure to install the header centered on the top side of the board. Solder the jumpers on the backside of the board as shown. Switchboard 3 20pin Header – make sure to install the header on the top side of the board.
- Page 4 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 6 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 7 Wires are not included in the kit. Press the learn button and while it is pressed send a midi note on any midi channel. OrganDonor will use this midi channel from now on. These settings are saved.
