Main features

The RK-100S is a stylish shoulder keyboard that's equipped with a synthesizer and the classic tones of a piano or organ, allowing you to play a wide-variety of sounds with the ribbon controllers.

Taking advantage of the battery power, you can enjoy playing in various locations.

200 programs through MMT analog modeling

200 programs that are compatible with various music genres are available through the MMT sound generation system. These are provided with a broad range of oscillator algorithms, including the sawtooth waves and square waves, typical of analog synthesizers, as well as formant waveforms, noise and PCM/DWGS waveforms.

Ribbon controllers

A long ribbon controller and a short ribbon controller are available for controlling the pitch and filter, etc.

The long ribbon controller can be used to control the pitch and filter of sounds, and it can also be used to play scales and the range of notes specified with the sound editor software.

Only a fingertip should be used to control. You shouldn't use anything hard or pointed and you shouldn't be wearing gloves.

Arpeggiator

The built-in arpeggiator can automatically generate an arpeggio when you hold down a chord.

You can choose from six types of arpeggios. Notes can also be individually switched on/off for up to eight steps, allowing you to vary the rhythm for an even wider range of possibilities.

Vocoder functionality

The RK-100S comes equipped with a vocoder function that will let you use your voice via a mic to process the sound of the oscillator, producing the impression that the instrument is "talking."

Virtual Patch functionality

Controllers such as EG, LFO, keyboard tracking, and the ribbons can be virtually connected to parameters such as pitch or cutoff, allowing you to modulate these parameters and create sounds with a high degree of freedom.

Equalizer and effects add a final polish to your sounds

Each timbre provides a two-band equalizer for additional sound-creating potential.

There are also two master effects for each program, allowing you to add final touches to your sound. You can choose one of seventeen types for each effect.

Sound editor software

By connecting the RK-100S to a computer with a USB cable and the using sound editor software, you can edit parameters, such as the sounds and the arpeggio patterns of the RK-100S, from your computer.

You can download the sound editor free of charge from the Korg website.

Playing a vocoder program

A vocoder modifies the signal from an oscillator or other source (the "carrier") by applying the spectral characteristics of an external input source such as a human voice (the "modulator").

The most common way to use a vocoder is to produce a "talking instrument" effect by taking the input signal of your voice from the mic while you hold down a chord on the keyboard. However you can also obtain interesting results by using audio input sources other than a human voice, such as rhythm sounds or anything else you like.

Here's how to connect a mic and try out the vocoder.

1. Connect the mic to the INPUT jack on the side panel, and then set the Input select switch to MIC2.
2. Hold down the SHIFT button and press the SHORT RIBBON button.

The audio input signal from the INPUT jack will be sent from the Output jack without modification (Audio In Thru).

The SHIFT button will light up if a signal is being input to the INPUT jack. It will light up in red if an input overload occurs.

1. Vocalize into the mic. If the SHIFT button is lit up in red, set the Input select switch to MIC1.
2. To return to the normal state, hold down the SHIFT button and press the SHORT RIBBON button once again.
3. Select a vocoder program.

See page 75 "Voice Name List"

1. While vocalizing into the mic, play the keyboard.

To hear different vocoder effects, try vocalizing in different ways and changing the chord you play.

Tip: Some vocoder programs will produce sound when you simply play the keyboard; there's no need to vocalize into the mic.

Modifying the sound

To make your performance more expressive, you can modify the sounds of the RK-100S by using the short ribbon controller, the long ribbon controller, and also by how you play the keyboard.

Try out various ways to play each program you select.

Using the keyboard to modify the sound - Velocity

The effect will vary depending on the amount of force that you use to play the keys. Normally, the force of your strike will affect the tone or volume.

Tip: During a performance, the eight favorites buttons (A – H) light up like a level meter, according to the keyboard velocity.

The RK-100S's keyboard does not support aftertouch.

Switching the octave with the OCTAVE buttons

The pitch range assigned to the long ribbon controller while playing the keyboard or scales can be changed in one-octave increments over a range of ±3 octaves.

Press the - button	Keyboard and ribbon range	OCTAVE LED in the display	Press the + button

MIDI

Using the RK-100S with other MIDI devices (MIDI)

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a world-wide standard for exchanging various types of musical data between electronic musical instruments and computers.

When MIDI cables are used to connect two or more MIDI devices, performance data can be exchanged between the devices, even if they were made by different manufacturers.

The RK-100S lets you assign control change numbers to the major parameters that affect the sound, and control these parameters from an external MIDI sequencer while you play the tone generator.

You can also use the assigned ribbons or buttons to transmit these control changes to control an external MIDI device.

Connecting MIDI devices/computers

Controlling an external MIDI tone generator from the RK-100S

When you want to use the RK-100S's keyboard, controllers, and arpeggiator. to play an external MIDI tone generator, use a MIDI cable to connect the RK-100S's MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI tone generator.
