Korg Rk 100s Keytar with onboard sounds on Glossy black includes soft case, and manual.The pattern switch is missing the top plastic cap but still functions as should. Very lightand easy to function on stage . Has some scratching but overall looks pretty awesome.I upgraded the strap pins to Staplocks for extra security and hold on stage.Hit the Stage with Korg's Virtual-Analog Synth Keytar!It's the keyboard synth that looks and plays like a classic guitar -- thanks to a lustrous wooden body and ultra-slim keyboard with 37 mini keys, the Korg RK-100S keytar is set apart from other keytar-style synths in its class. The RK-100S keytar's lightweight, stylishly curvy design is a play on the original Korg RK-100 remote keyboard originally released back in 1984. With this modern update, you get the same awesome sounds and playability of the original instrument, with the added bonus of a built-in analog modeling sound generator (the original's was external) and a more compact, lightweight build, so you can roam the stage for hours sans shoulder aches.Super Synth Sounds at Your FingertipsGood looks aside, Korg's RK-100S is what it is because of its sounds. Perform with 200 analog-modeled synth programs and 17 effects powered by the built-in MMT sound engine. Covering just about any musical genre, the sound engine supplies everything from standard analog synthesizer waveforms such as sawtooth and square to other oscillator algorithms such as formant waveforms, noise, and PCM. It's the same synth engine found on the MicroKORG XL -- one of Korg's most popular virtual-analog synths.Play all those sounds with 37 velocity-sensitive mini keys, 2 ribbon controllers, an arpeggiator, a vocoder, convenient "favorite" buttons, and other fun performance tools. The favorite buttons help you keep track of frequently-used sounds, so you can recall them on the fly with one-touch selection.Get Expressive with Two Ribbon ControllersA pair of ribbon controllers -- one short and one long -- add to the fun of playing this keytar. Take a break from the keyboard and play a free range of pitches and scales on the long ribbon located on the front of the keyboard; or, let your left hand explore the short ribbon on the neck, mid-performance, in order to accentuate your right-hand keyboard skills with pitch bends and filter sweeps.The RK-100S's dual-purpose mic/audio input jack lets you get freaky with either the onboard vocoder function or the monaural mini-input jack. Plug in a headset microphone to rock out with the vocoder, or connect your audio player and jam with your favorite tunes. Want to use the RK-100S to control an external sound module? No problem. The keytar sports a MIDI output jack, so you're not limited to playing with onboard sounds, awesome as they are. When you're done performing, connect your RK-100S to a computer via USB either to control a PC sound module or use the PC editor to get into the nitty gritty of MIDI settings and parameters of the internal sound engine.Play AnywhereMobility is key for keytarists. As a keyboard player, do you really have to stand at your dedicated spot on stage? Heck no! Powered by either AC adapter or six AA batteries, the RK-100S gives you the freedom to perform wherever's convenient to you.Features:- Keytar-style synthesizer keyboard
