RK-100S Keytar
(Black)
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.
The gorgeous wooden body was a popular feature of the original RK-100 and has returned now for the latest evolution, the RK-100S, in a finish that shows off the beautiful wooden grain. Now featuring updated sounds tailored for solo performance, the RK-100S can now slot seamlessly into any musicians stage performance.
Stunning Finish Detailing a Beautiful Woodgrain
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.
Super-Smooth 37 Note Keyboard
Fast, smooth, fluid action
The RK-100S utilises an a brilliantly comfortable 37-note keyboard that is sure to feel comfortable in even the biggest of hands.
Korg focussed on ensuring the overall size was compact and lightweight, one of the key targets when designing the RK-100S was to deliver a keyboard that was ‘uncompromisingly playable’.
It's fair to say this has been achieved with ease, the RK-100's 37 keys are a joy to play and allow for fast, efficient and smooth playing, no matter what your style may be.
Battery Operation with upto 8 Hours Performance
HOURS OF PERFORMANCE TIME
The RK-100S is capable of being powered by 6 AA batteries. All you have to do is connect headphones to the instrument, or, just use an instrument lead and connect it to your amp of choice and you’re ready to rock!
With up to 8 hours of non-stop playing time, you’re free to concentrate fully on your performance without worry of power failure mid-set. The RK-100S can also be powered via an AC adapter (sold separately).
Fantastic Connectivity Options
Download Countless Further Sounds for RK-100S
Korg’s RK-100S is not bound to playing only it’s preset sounds. Featuring a MIDI output and USB port on the right-hand side, this allows it to be used to play a soft synth or various other external hardware sound modules.
Furthermore, its stellar aesthetic design allows it to be put to use as a master keyboard. If that wasn’t enough, you’re also now able to use the PC editor to download in-depth settings for MIDI and the internal sound engine from Korg’s official website via the on-board USB port.
The RK-100S features a mono mini-jack to accommodate microphone input, meaning you can connect a headset mic and perform with a vocoder for true retro fun! Connect your smartphone too and jam along with your favourite songs. The RK-100S was made to have fun with, and this shows in every inch of this wonderfully fun instrument.
Dual Ribbon Controllers to Expand Performance Possibilities
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.
