Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Korg RK-100S KEYTAR. To help you get the most
out of your new instrument, please read this manual carefully.
This RK-100S parameter guide explains the parameters that you can edit on the

Preparations
You’ll use the RK-100S Sound Editor soware to edit the RK-100S’s parameters.
Please download the latest version of the RK-100S Sound Editor from the KORG
website (hp://www.korg.com/) and install it on your computer.

The three elements of sound: pitch, tone, and volume
Sound has three basic elements: pitch, tone, and volume.
Just like the analog synthesizers of the past, the RK-100S analog modeling
synthesizer provides “oscillator,” “lter,” and “amp” (amplier) sections that
control these three elements.
Edit the oscillator seings to change the pitch, the lter seings to change the
tone, and the amp seings to change the volume.
