![]() ![]() 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. And the scales change from patch to patch. 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. 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. 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. There are about another 50 that I think could be wild if I can learn to play this thing correctly. 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. 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. ![]() The Roland has a USB port so that you can have tracks to play along with the instrument. And, honestly, once I started digging around in the RK100's features, I was bummed that I didn't get the Roland. Just to improve my improv.I knew I wanted a Keytar, so it was between this and the Roland Ax-Edge 2. 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. 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. 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. ![]()
