The RK-300 can be operated via remote control, and can automatically add harmonies onto your voice, while performing with the RK-300’s onboard songs/VIMA TUNES. In case a singer is singing along with audio data playback on RK-300, his/her voice can be harmonized as well, according to the real-time keyboard performance on RK-300.
