The Return of a Cult Korg Keytar
The RK-100S 2 marks the revival of an iconic Korg keytar, appreciated for its "guitar" ergonomics, powerful sound engine, and instantly recognizable design. As the heir to the original RK-100, it continues the concept of an instrument worn and played standing up, while enhancing perceived quality with a crafted wooden body and a transparent finish that reveals the grain. Each unit features a unique grain pattern, giving the instrument a strong visual character.
Who Is the RK-100S 2 For?
Designed for keyboardists and producers who want to take center stage, the RK-100S 2 is perfect for solos in pop, electro, funk, synthwave, rock, disco, or for catchy live interventions. Its compact format and 37-note Slimkeys keyboard also make it an excellent option for musicians on the move, rehearsals, and hybrid setups. It can also serve as a master keyboard thanks to MIDI and USB MIDI, to control virtual instruments or external modules.
