RK-100S 2 37-Key Keytar Synthesizer + MIDI Controller

Korg RK-100S 2

Korg’s RK-100S 2 is a fantastic update to their performable and shreddable Keytar series with some amazing added features. Following in the footsteps of the RK-100, the RK-100S 2 brings you eight voices of analog modeling polyphony, based off of Korg’s R3 synthesis architecture that’s also found in the microKORG. This form of synthesis is great for mimicking loads of sonic qualities heard across analog synthesizers, and RK-100S 2 steps up its game by providing 200 programs that showcase classic and modern sounds heard throughout a multitude of genres. On top of this, RK-100S 2 supports bi-timbrality for split and layered patches, as well as offering a fantastic 16-band vocoder that allows you to utilize the input for adding synthesized magic to your vocals or any line-level signal. You can further edit all these programs via the computer editor to access the full range of oscillators, waveshaping, multi-mode filters, and effects to make your perfect patch.

Not only is the sonic architecture updated, but the performability offered on the RK-100S 2 is better than ever! The 37-note slim keyboard is easily accessible for spread chords as well as shredding, taking its lightweight and compact size from the wonderful Minilogue XD. Add finesse and pizzazz to your performance with the two ribbon controllers, one on the neck for pitch bends and modulations and one spanning the keybed for seamless pitch and filter sweeps. The RK-100S 2 is tied together by a well-built, wooden chassis that showcases the lovely grain of the wood via it’s pristine clear finish. Thanks to the eight hours of play time over six AA batteries, RK-100S 2 from Korg is one of the most versatile and performable keytars that you can rock out on throughout any performance.
