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.
