Highly Playable 37-note Slim Keyboard

The team at Korg understand that playing keytar needs to be fun and it needs to be as enjoyable as possible. This is why they have designed the Korg RK-100S2 with a 37-note slim keyboard that is comfortable and easy to play. This mini style keyboard provides everything you need to create the sounds you want, in a compact and user friendly package.

Two Ribbon Controllers To Expand Your Sound

Two ribbon controllers have been installed to allow you to take complete control of your sound. These allow you to dynamically modify the sounds and even change scale. A short ribbon on the neck area lets you control dynamics such as pitch bend and modulation, whereas the long ribbon above the keybed lets you control the pitch or filter. This means you can create smooth sweeps for sustained sounds and really add new dynamics to your playing.

200 Programs To Choose From

The all-new Korg RK-100S2 expands the range of built-in programs to 200. The team at Korg have included an array of lead synth sounds and other solo sounds that will appeal to musicians of all genres. You have 200 stage-ready presets that can be accessed instantly via the 'favourite' buttons on the top panel. A built in arpeggiator allows you to create a myriad of sounds. You can utilise presets such as UP, DOWN, ALT1/2, Random, Trigger (6 types) and a cool new Step Arpeggiator function.

Built-In Vocoder Function

The Korg RK-100S2 keytar features a very useful and highly responsive built-in vocoder. The monaural mini-input jack accommodates a microphone input so you can connect a headset or microphone and enjoy complete vocoder functionality. Connectivity for smartphones has also been included as you can connect an external source input and play along with backing tracks, too.

A Perfect Option As A Master Keybaord

You're not limited to the preset sounds built-in. The Korg RK-100S2 is equipped with a MIDI output connector and USB port which allows you to take control over external hardware and soft synths. The sleek, smaller scale makes it an incredible option for those with limited space. Perfect for creating music in the studio and on stage.

Battery or DC operated

As mentioned, the Korg RK-100S2 keytar is designed for the musicians who want to play live. With this in mind, the team at Korg have ensured the keytar can be operated via 6 x AA batteries providing up to 8 hours of continuous playback. Simply connect your headphones to the keytar or plug into your amplifier and you're good to go. The separately sold AC adapter is also available should you want to go wired.

Beautiful Translucent Finish
