[darbuka]

Between 0:50 and 1.24 he travels to Funkistan maan woww...

[michaelbauers]

Interesting demo.  Can't say I have seem a demo quite like this one :)

[VeronicaMcCarrison]

They say it has a vocoder builded into it. I hope they would make a video of that and show us how that works and sounds 

[IsoMacintosh]

That first sound is similar to the synth in the song "life or life-like" by the outline.

[dvamateur]

The problem is, it's still not available to buy.  They say summer, maybe.  Of course the bigger problem is, that most of the general pedestrian public dismisses this type of instrument as cheesy.  But, for whoever actually plays keyboards, it's a pretty cool and fun instrument to play around with.  It'd be great if the RK-100s had aftertouch, but I guess one can't have everything.  It's a move in good direction for Korg, in my opinion.  If not sales-wise, then image-wise, at least, because this product looks looks high-quality.  Korg has had cheep looking and feeling product lines for way too long.  That's refreshing to see something high-quality below $1, 000 mark.  Hey, it might even sell, who knows.

I want Dist Guitar, Organ, Piano sound on this divice .

[GTSuzukaTimeTrials]

Roland AX-Synth is definitely the most user-friendly keytar on the market, and has 12 more keys than this, but the RK100S is a pound lighter and looks cooler. Decisions, decisions...

[Aurum]

how do you say synth porn in japanese? This is it.

[sibapawbapaw]

hi boss .... has it built in speakers?

[swamplifecontrol]

Akai kībōdo wa iine shite imasu ka ^ ^ ?

[chetanyasharmapianist]

is there piano organ strings guitar saxophone voices? ???

[ageshero]

This thing seems kinda worthless to me, it sounds kind of uninteresting, no matter who plays it,   and the ribbon doesn't seem very intuitive.  

I like everything else, the look etc.   i just wish it was a little more
