Korg RK-100s-WH Keytar White
Product no: 9000-0009-1472 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Modelled after the RK100 keytar from 1984, the Korg RK-100s is a modern, sleek instrument designed for the stage. Its smooth wooden body has a gorgeous white lacquer finish, so your audience is bound to notice you giving the performance of a lifetime. The RK-100s-WH is powered by six AA batteries and can be worn around your neck like a guitar. Not only is the keytar equipped with the same 37-key keyboard as the MS-20 Mini, it also features two ribbon controllers (a small and a large one), which allow for additional expression like modulation and pitch bends.

RK-100s-WH: sounds

Offering 200 versatile built-in sounds, the RK-100s-WH is equipped with an MMT engine that is able to simulate analogue waveforms as well as more complex formants, noise and PCM waveforms. A built-in arpeggiator makes your playing more energetic and robotic, and there's also a vocoder - use the keytar's audio input to provide a microphone or line signal. It doesn't get much more retro than that! The RK-100s-WH is powered by batteries, but you can also use an optional adapter, which is great if you're using it in the studio. Thanks to the inclusion of a MIDI output, it's also possible to control your plug-ins and sound modules with the Korg keytar.

Roland Boutique - a New Rumour about Synthesizers

Tuesday 15 September 2015

The rumour mill is back! It's time for speculation, and this time, it's about the new Roland Boutique! Roland has us going before with their sneak preview of the Aira machines, and that all turned out well. But now, let's sit back and enjoy some good old-fashioned guesswork!

Roland Presents Boutique Synthesizers

Thursday 1 October 2015

From a rumour to a leak, and from a leak to a formal announcement: Roland finally presents the Boutique Series! A few weeks ago, there was some speculation about the new Roland Boutique synthesizers. This time, we've got something more concrete: the JP-08, JU-06, JX-03 and the K-25m, because that's what they're called!

Novation Circuit: What Is It Exactly?

Thursday 1 October 2015

Is it a controller? Is it a synthesizer? Is it a drum machine? No, it's the Novation Circuit! This new groovebox looks a lot like Novation's studio controllers, such as the Launchpad, but it's much more than that...

NAMM 2016: Korg Minilogue Analogue Synthesizer

Monday 11 January 2016

Another rumour is rapidly spreading throughout the synthesizer community! This time, the stories are about a new synth called the Korg Minilogue - a clever play on words, combining the terms 'mini' and 'analogue.' Both in looks and sound, this promises to be a great little synth!

NAMM 2016: Casio MZ-X: A New MZ-2000?

Monday 11 January 2016

The image below recently turned up on the internet. Based on the text and the accompanying specifications, we assume that Casio is trying to lure us to their NAMM booth so they can present their latest keyboard/synthesizer: the MZ-X. This will likely remind keyboard enthusiasts of the MZ-2000, an old Casio model that, considering the words 'Reinvented, Reimagined, Reborn' is apparently about to be brought back to life. Rumour has it that two models will be released, the MZ-500 and the MZ-1000, but take that with a grain of salt; it's very possible that MZ-X is indeed the final name for this workstation.

NAMM 2016: Back to the '80s with Electro Harmonix

Tuesday 12 January 2016

Late last year, Electro Harmonix introduced the Crash Pad Analog Drum Synth, and at NAMM 2016 they'll be unleashing the Super Space Drum. Where the Crash Pad creates electronic cymbal sounds, the Space Drum generates a typically '80s drum sound - electronic yet warm and full of character. It can be used as either a standalone unit, or in combination with a looper or clock generator, for instance.
