    A portable keyboard to play in moving on stage, rather robust with a wooden body.

    Personally, I find it impressive! On stage, he shines synthetic! No doubt.

    It works with MIDI cable (it has a MIDI OUT)

    UTILIZATION

    Touch: Nice and big buttons, however, the keyboard has no velocity. Hard to give expressiveness with some sounds ...

    Config: very basic, most (bend, modulation, octave up / down, volume ...), no useless functions ...

    MIDI works well, it takes a bit consult the manual to find its sound pr

    Manual: yes very clear

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?
    1 year

    - What is so special that you like most and least?

    +: The form, my first cétait keytar, a real beast!
    - The weight, but the beast is good solid wood

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    not

    - How would you rate the quality / price?
    Excellent, it's a keyboard that is like some kind MuteMath star making it a great instrument!

    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...
    yes, keytar is mythical despite its weaknesses. IT IS THE ONLY THAT LOOKS LIKE A sth!

    I FINALLY found my RK-100! The black and more than I wanted.

    Everything has been said, for my part is specifically for evening "80's" I use it, needless to say it is perfect in all respects.

    Or almost! Well, not velocity, so I knew it, but not sustain this injury. But we made it, and it's part of "vintage" one will say ... For velocity, for cons, there was a small stopgap, it's a volume knob next to the pitch-bend, it can easily be put down when needed, well thought out by the guys at Keio!

    So let's say 9, but no less for me because it's tough. Even if the previous owner was careful, the thing is still a survivor of 1984, eh!

    Ah yes, I have to be careful as the trick in which "b…

    Ah yes, I have to be careful as the trick in which "branch" 9V battery, there is a loose connection, but it is easy to repair the worst, I prefer it to any other failure.

    With the MidAir connected to Apple's MainStage class, I appreciate the program change, in short, I love this instrument!

    UTILIZATION

    Oh damn, you should not write everything up ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    Superzut, there also had to write ... Well, I also add that the look is terrible, it looks like a clip of Sandra ;-)

    Oh yes I forgot, we set a three-octave increments, but by a selector! Not practical, but at the same time we feel that the analog was not so far ...

    This, basically, is one of the more popular keytars out there. It's basically a 41-note remote keyboard, actually a MIDI synth or module controller. Therefore, it has the general MIDI connection. I was looking to try a Keytar of some type, thinking it might be fun. There wasn't much about this instrument that intrigued besides the keytar novelty and the fact this is one of the more popular keytars.

    UTILIZATION

    The setup of this was no more complex than any other MIDI controller. I didn't have a manual, but I could figure out the setup process pretty clearly. It's easy to use one hand to press the buttons which change between the 64 different programs. With the same hand you can use…

It's easy to use one hand to press the buttons which change between the 64 different programs. With the same hand you can use the knobs to control the modulation, pitch bending, and volume.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I feel like I got what I expected out of this thing. It is a whole lot of fun to play, and it sounds just like you'd expect, a cheesy, 80s style synth. The fact that you can really only play it with one hand at a time is sort of frustrating to any real keyboardist, but it was really only designed for simple chords or single-note riffs anyway. As someone said to me before, "it's not like you're going to play a concerto on this thing". Another criticism I had was that the touch sensitivity was almost nonexistent, but then again, you'd only expect an obnoxious synth sound from this anyway. Overall, if you know the limitations of the instrument from the beginning, and are still interested, nothing is going to sway your interest. Definitely recommended for anyone who really wants it. Just good luck finding one, I happened to stumble across it randomly. I know many others who are willing to pay a decent price for one.
