If the MIDI OUT connector of the RK-100S 2 is connected
to the MIDI IN connector of an external MIDI device,
the external MIDI device can be controlled with the
RK-100S 2's keyboard or controllers.
If the USB connector of the RK-100S 2 is connected to
a computer, sound editor software can be used to edit
parameters, such as sounds and arpeggio patterns of the
RK-100S 2, or sequencer software, for example, can be
used to play the RK-100S 2's sound generator.

Turning the power on

The RK-100S 2 can be powered by an AC adapter or
batteries.
Due to cable routing considerations during live
performances, we recommend using batteries.
Before you turn on the power
Make sure that the power switch is off before you
connect the power supply.

Using batteries

1. Open the battery cover that's located on the
bottom of the RK-100S 2
.
2. Insert six AA alkaline or nickel-metal hydride
batteries (separately sold).
Make sure that the batteries are oriented correctly.
3. Close the battery cover.
4. In order to get the most accurate readings of the
remaining battery power, please refer to the
"Battery type and remaining power" section on
page 17 and select the type of battery that's
being used.
About the empty battery indicator
Hold down the SHIFT button and press the favorites G
button to show the remaining battery power using the
eight favorites buttons (A–H) as level indicators. The
number of lit buttons may be lower depending on the
battery capacity.
In addition, when the battery capacity
runs down, the dot at the right side of
the display will blink. If you continue
to use the unit, the blinking will
become faster.
If you continue to use the unit in this
state, the indicator will begin blinking. We recommend
that you replace the batteries as soon as possible, or
connect the AC adapter.
Depleted batteries should be immediately removed
from the RK-100S 2. Leaving depleted batteries
installed may cause malfunctions (such as leakage of
the battery electrolyte). You should also remove the
batteries if you won't be using the RK-100S 2 for an
extended period of time.
Connecting the AC adapter
Only use the specified AC adapter. Using any other
AC adapter may cause malfunctions.
1. Make sure that the RK-100S 2 is powered-off.
2. Connect the optional AC adapter to the DC9V
connector, located on the side panel.
See page 8 "Connections"
