Keyboards

Home Keyboards

Keyboards for beginners and the home musician already offer many possibilities to make music. With a velocity-sensitive keyboard anyone with experience on keyboard instruments like the piano will quickly find their way around. But even music newcomers and students will find home keyboards are the entry-level models for creative musical education.

With built-in accompaniment rhythms and voices as well as a large number of arpeggio functions, the musical possibilities are already extensive. Home keyboards range from simple models to higher-quality versions from market leaders like Yamaha or Casio. The sound, like the additional instruments of the auto-accompaniment, can be adjusted via controls and saved internally or via MIDI. Many home keyboards include learning functions for beginners that make the first musical steps easier. That way beginners and newcomers to keyboard music will enjoy their instrument for many years.

Entertainer Keyboards

For the big stage or events, entertainer keyboards offer a whole orchestra as accompaniment. Guitars, strings, basses, pianos or brass instruments can be switched in at will to support your music. The solo performer plays the desired chord and can add a few violins, a full orchestra or other effects as desired. Classic rock, pop, Latin or jazz – entertainer keyboards can do it all. Korg, Roland and Yamaha offer keyboards in all price ranges. Fully programmable and with a MIDI interface, entertainer keyboards provide all the options musicians need for their personal style. Lighting effects are often built in, making them a real eye-catcher on stage. But entertainer keyboards are not only great for shows — they also deliver excellent sound in the studio and are invaluable at home for composing.

Oriental Keyboards

Fans of oriental music can choose dedicated keyboards. The oriental keyboards offer auto-accompaniment just like other keyboards. Instead of strings and brass instruments, these instruments feature oriental instruments for accompaniment. You can play and compose Arabic music on them just as easily as western music. The oriental rhythms, sounds, styles, pads and drum kits round off the musical spectrum that the oriental keyboard brings, comparable to classic entertainer keyboards. That way a solo artist can impress with a Korg Oriental keyboard at a German wedding just as much as at a Turkish celebration or a Greek evening.

Arrangers and MIDI/Media Players

Arrangers and MIDI-/media-player modules expand the possibilities of master keyboards, digital pianos and MIDI accordions. Some models are also suitable as an addition for organs or keyboards. Such an accompaniment module transforms an existing keyboard instrument with a MIDI interface into a comprehensive keyboard. On stage or at home you can avoid needing an extra keyboard. Arrangers are small and compact – yet they offer everything a musician's heart desires. Mounted on an extra stand or directly on the digital piano, the arranger can be used like an integrated device. With the MIDI/media players the musician has a wide selection of elaborate music styles, rhythms and drum kits at their disposal. That turns a solo performer into a big band. The MIDI/media players also allow you to save your own songs internally, via MIDI or onto USB sticks. Together with a professional keyboard amplifier, nothing stands in the way of a big performance.
