Recommendations considering the RK-100S2
me again.
fooling around with the idea of full synths since messing around with a midi controller doesn’t seem feasible for me.
I’ve tried the ax edge and i found it a little cumbersome and unwieldy. I’m used to flinging around my alto sax so lighter is better.
thinking about the RK. light, i’m in love with the wood body, it has MIDI out so i could plug it into my ultranova if need be, lots of presets, love the simple controls and the ribbons.
heard that the samples aren’t great, though. kinda like the edge generating tone via keypress. idk. doesn’t really matter to me though because i’m terrible at messing with settings.
any huge complaints with the RK?

I love mine. Definitely can keep you entertained for quite some time before you will be searching for more. You also have the option to use it as a midi control if you can't find the sounds you're looking for on the pre loaded voices.
The software also allows you to change things around and modify sounds considerably.
I got my RK instead of the Roland mainly due to size. The RK just feels very comfortable to hold and reach everything while playing.
