The long-awaited rebirth of KORG's famous keytar Since it’s initial inception, Korg’s iconic RK-100 has been a smash-hit due to its unique and ergonomic shape, it’s unmatched sound engine and stage-worthy aesthetic. Korg have listened to the hordes of loyal fans, and now, due to popular demand, the Korg’s infamous Keytar has made its welcome return in the form of the RK-100S.

Now featuring updated sounds tailored for solo performance, the RK-100S can now slot seamlessly into any musicians stage performance.

EYE-CATCHING, INDIVIUAL WOODGRAIN FINISH Perhaps the RK-100S greatest asset is its eye-catching body shape that outright refuses to be bound by the traditional aesthetics usually found on keyboard instruments.

The wooden body takes its inspiration largely from the electric guitar world, sporting a design that includes both strength and softness to achieve ageless appeal. The RK-100S takes this attention to detail and progresses it further, and boasts a clear finish which really allows the woodgrain to shine.

Since each RK-100 will have its own individual woodgrain, this achieves an even greater sense of quality than ever before. Although the RK-100 is an electric instrument, each unit is finished with a great deal of careful attention to detail, ensuring it is an instrument with a individual and unique presence.

Add great dynamics to your performance Korg’s RK-100S has been specifically designed with your aggressive playing style in mind. It features two ribbon controllers to enable you to add dynamic depth to your sound and performance.

The short ribbon on the neck area gives fantastic control over pitch bends and modulation that are integral parts of keyboard performance. The longer of the ribbons located on the keyboard area is used to control pitch or filter. This can be used to create bold, rich and smooth sweeps for sustained sounds.

Furthermore, the RK-100S supports scale performance whereby notes can be played just by simply touching the ribbon, giving you unhindered scope for unconventional performances that simply would not be possible with standard keyboards.
