Fun machine to take out to acoustic jams (so far). Plenty of sounds for lead playing but enough standard sounds - organ, piano, to be acceptible in acoustic circles. Get the RK100S 2 Sound Editor (free-Korg online) to really manipulate your sounds. Smaller keyboard is not much different to get used to than, say, going from guitar to mandolin, probably easier, as at least the tuning is the same. Perhaps more like going from full guitar to travel guitar.

Overall:First of all, I'll do my best to review this instrument seriously, but the reality is that I can't play keyboards anywhere near well enough to make this a logical, much less necessary purchase. Serious players should take everything I say with a grain of salt.My first thoughts upon unboxing the (Red) RK-100S2 was that it is beautiful, and feels good around my neck and in my hands. It really is a good size to hold on your lap and just play with while watching TV or whatever which is my primary purpose for purchasing. Just to improve my improv.I knew I wanted a Keytar, so it was between this and the Roland Ax-Edge 2. And, honestly, once I started digging around in the RK100's features, I was bummed that I didn't get the Roland. The Roland has a USB port so ... MoreOverall:First of all, I'll do my best to review this instrument seriously, but the reality is that I can't play keyboards anywhere near well enough to make this a logical, much less necessary purchase.

And, honestly, once I started digging around in the RK100's features, I was bummed that I didn't get the Roland. The Roland has a USB port so that you can have tracks to play along with the instrument. I guess that I just assumed that the Korg would have that feature too, because I went looking for who to yell at, zZounds or the Korg rep, but I can't find anywhere that either company deceived me in the marketing material.I did consider returning this but the size and other features on the Korg make it a better fit for my small apartment than the Roland would have been. Still undecided on it, and waiting for the amp to show up, I started messing around with the sounds, and of the 200 voices in the 100S2, I really like 35 of them. There are about another 50 that I think could be wild if I can learn to play this thing correctly. But still, it "felt" less than the Roland and for nearly identical prices.Then, I plugged it into my computer (via the instrument jack), and connected the Korg to Guitar Rig 6 and started to play with the pedals and amp sims. THAT was when this instrument came alive! While it wasn't the instrument I was expecting, it is the instrument that I NEEDED!This thing is stupid proof! And I'm the evidence. For real, if you don't press either of the modifier buttons on the neck, then simply tapping, rubbing, or holding anywhere on the long touch strip will allow you to play scales. And the scales change from patch to patch. And you can go in and set the Key, the Modality, and the type of scale to be played if you connect to the PC app.The PC app itself sucks, but it is there. It's one of those apps where it opens a window that contains other windows inside it, but those secondary windows can't be re-sized so, even though I have a 32" 1440p monitor on that PC, the app takes up like 20% of the screen and I need a microscope to read anything. I will never understand that design choice.I know that there is an awful lot of this instrument being wasted on me. Somebody that knows what they are doing could have one hell of a time with this thing. I have been making myself laugh for the last couple of days at just how easy it is to get a really good sound out of this thing. This thing almost has me ready to go on a stage, and I have NEVER been able to improvise anything before.I can play like 70 songs on bass, and maybe 5 on piano all covers. I like to say I'm just good enough to know how much I suck! But this thing has me feeling a confidence that I haven't ever felt in 12 years of lessons. I'm sure it's a false sense of confidence, but give me six months with this thing, and it won't be quite so false.The RK-100S2 can be used as a midi controller too. I suggest that you don't. I tried it out, and it triggers the midi just fine, but the touch strips don't function in anything approaching the same way as they do in instrument mode, so it's like having the coolest looking, least functional midi controller available. There are too many cheap midi controllers out there to waste the RK-100S2's talent there.Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, I contacted Korg, and the "SLIM KEYS" are 3/4" wide, and a standard key is 7/8" wide. That 1/8" makes a big difference for my chubby little fingers, but if you have more of a pianist's hand, they shouldn't be an issue.

A great instrument. It gives so many options and is a fantastic addition to our band
It it doesn't have half tone for example # or b when I need for transport from mayor to minor it's not professional also it cost a lot of money which one is not appropriate
This keytar is awesome in every way! It meets the needs of any keytar enthusiast. Plenty of Korg quality sounds, easy to use, light weight can on batteries if you don't want a pwr cable. They don't make them any more and only so many were made so if you can find one - grab it!! A fine piece of equipment and a great investment. Prices could skyrocket on this item in the future.
Korg sold these for $580 at the end of 2017, such was the commercial success - or lack thereof. The only rare model is the K-On! limited edition of 300, but all offer basic Korg sounds and the usual keytar mix of great performance on stage, irritating shape in the studio! When prices drop to sensible levels theyre a good instrument - right now, theyre terrible value.
Very good and sounds are fantastic.
Amazing I am blown away by the power loving every second.

Korg RK100S 2 Keytar (Translucent Red)
The RK-100S keytar breaks free from traditional keyboard constraints with its guitar-inspired wooden body and ergonomic design that commands attention on any stage. This distinctive instrument combines artisanal craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, featuring a clear finish that showcases the natural wood grain - making each unit uniquely beautiful. The renewed RK-100S 2 significantly expands its sonic capabilities with 200 stage-ready presets, strengthened lead synth sounds, and contemporary tones that cover all musical genres. Performance versatility comes through dual ribbon controllers that allow dynamic sound manipulation during live shows. The short ribbon on the neck handles pitch bend and modulation, whilst the long ribbon across the keyboard area controls pitch or filter sweeps. Scale performance mode lets you trigger notes simply by touching the ribbon, opening up unconventional playing techniques impossible with standard keyboards. The acclaimed 37-note slim keyboard maintains compact portability without compromising playability. Powered by six AA batteries for up to eight hours of continuous operation, the RK-100S offers true wireless freedom on stage. The monaural mini-input accommodates headset microphones for vocoder performance, whilst external source input lets you jam along with backing tracks from your smartphone. MIDI output and USB connectivity expand possibilities further, allowing control of soft synths, hardware modules, or use as an elegant master keyboard with downloadable settings via Korg's PC editor.
