Clear finish that beautifully shows the woodgrain
The greatest attraction of the RK series is its beautiful body shape that refuses to be bound by the constraints of keyboard instruments. The wooden body is strongly influenced by guitars, featuring a design that includes both strength and softness to generate an enduringly ageless attractiveness. RK-100S 2 features a clear finish that lets the woodgrain show. Although it is an electronic instrument, each individual unit is finished with careful attention, making it an instrument with a distinctively unique presence that will continue to provide the joy of ownership. (Since the body of this instrument uses natural wood, please be aware that there will be individual differences in the woodgrain and appearance.)
Programs that shine with presence for soloing
RK-100S 2 has a wealth of built-in programs with a generous complement of lead synth sounds and other solo sounds that let the musician shine. The sounds emitted from this compact body are supremely powerful, and these sounds can be instantly accessed during a live performance by using the favorite buttons on the top panel. Also provided is an arpeggiator with a diverse range of patterns.
37-note slim keyboard that’s easy to play
Both looks and keyboard feature an understated design that will feel comfortable for any player. RK-100S 2 uses an acclaimed 37-note slim keyboard. While keeping the overall size compact and lightweight, Korg has focused on making this mini-keyboard uncompromisingly playable.
Two ribbon controllers expand your performance possibilities
RK-100S 2 is designed for your aggressive performance style, with two ribbon controllers that you can use to dynamically modify the sound. The short ribbon provided on the neck area lets you control the pitch bend and modulation that are indispensable for keyboard performance. The long ribbon located on the keyboard area can be used to control the pitch or filter cutoff frequency. You can use this to create bold and smooth sweeps for sustained sounds. Furthermore, it supports scale performance, where notes can be plated simply by touching the ribbon, giving you free rein for unconventional performances that would not be possible with standard keyboard playing.
Battery power with long operating life
RK-100S 2 can be powered by six AA batteries. Simply connect headphones to the instrument or use a cable to connect it to an amp and you’re ready to start playing just like a guitarist. Since up to eight hours of continuous operation are possible, you can concentrate on your performance without having to bother with power cables on stage. Of course, you can also use an optional AC adapter if you like (sold separately).
Vocoder function adds an accent to your stage performances
The 1/8″ mono external audio input accommodates mic input, so you can connect a headset mic and enjoy full-fledged vocoder playing. You can also connect a smartphone, tablet, music player, etc. as an external source input and have fun playing along with a favorite song.
A great choice as a master keyboard
RK-100S is not limited to playing its preset sounds: it is equipped with a MIDI output connector and a USB port, so you can also use it to play a soft synth or an external hardware sound module. Furthermore, its elegant looks make it a great choice as a master keyboard. You can also use the free software editor to load detailed settings for MIDI and the internal sound engine from Korg’s website.
A full complement of accessories including a soft case
Included with the instrument are a strap that you’ll need for performing, a dedicated soft case and an elegant logo sticker. Apply it to customize your instrument for that extra edge that puts you ahead of the crowd.
