The Korg RK-100S Keytar also supports scale performance simply by touching the ribbon - something which has not been possible with standard keyboards. This offers highly responsive dynamics at your fingertips.

On-Board Vocoder

The Korg RK-100S Keytar also includes a monaural mini-input jack which accommodates a microphone. This allows you to connect a headset mic and take advantage of vocoder playing.
