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

Turning the power on

The RK-100S 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. 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 16 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. 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 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 is powered-off.
2. Connect the optional AC adapter to the DC9V
connector, located on the side panel.
See page 7 "Connections"
3. Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.
Use an AC outlet of the correct voltage.
