Ahead of the 2021 NAMM Show, Korg has announced the return of the RK-100S keytar.
The RK-100 is a keytar synth and MIDI controller that features dual ribbon controllers, a vocoder and the option to run it from batteries.
The wooden body of the original RK-100 is a hallmark of the 100S, which is now available in a finish that accentuates its wood grain. Numerous sounds ideal for solo performance have been added, tailoring the RK-100S to stage performance.
Features:
- Clear finish shows the beautiful woodgrain
- New programs that emanate powerful presence when soloing
- 37-note slim keyboard for easy playability
- Two ribbon controllers to broaden your performance potential
- Battery operation allows long operation time
- Vocoder function lets you accent your staging
- Also a great choice as a master keyboard
- A full range of included items such as a soft case
Details on pricing and availability are to be announced.
“Also a great choice as a master keyboard”
This is a terrible choice as a master keyboard. The lack of real time controllers is dumbfounding. One of the 2 ribbon controllers is underneath the keyboard. In no way is this useful. The whole purpose of these keyboards is to be a controller, you know what that means it needs? Controls. I thought the Rolands were my most hated types of these keyboards until I tried one of these, and these types of keyboards are my main controller playing live.
Isn’t this the third time Korg are trying to get us to buy this microkorg xl again?
How come nobody every just says it’s a Microkorg XL with a strap? Which is what it is.
What do they mean by “Slim Keys”? Are those like mini-keys?
About the same width, but longer I guess….
Best feature I see on this (besides just playing keys on stage alongside guitarists) is the vocoding function.
2014 saw the rebirth of the RK-100S.
Shouldn’t the title be “Korg brings back the re-birth of the RK-100S as the RK-100S 2” ?
What are the exact differences with the 2014 model ?
