Why an extra keyboard for oriental music?
The question is legitimate. Finally, with a good keyboard you can play a variety of different music. In order to make the right decision, let's first look at the typical characteristics of Arabic music:
Characteristics of Arabic music
Arabic music was transmitted without notes. There is no polyphony and no counterpoint, and therefore no bass groove . Their rhythm usually consists of a precisely defined sequence and is maintained throughout the entire piece. It is very complex, with irregular patterns and scales. An essential component of Arabic music is the human voice in its entire range. The various instruments do not strive for a fusion, but rather a split sound , as we know it from the music of the Renaissance. The musicians interact much more with their audience. This creates scope for improvisation .
What can the Oriental keyboard do?
The Oriental keyboard addresses exactly these points. The standard rhythms of pop, rock and jazz include a wide variety of oriental styles. The PA4 X 76 Oriental from Korg , for example, has more than 190 Oriental styles with intros, fills, endings and count-ins. Internationality also applies to the sounds . A good Oriental keyboard offers both European and global sounds and a particularly wide selection of the typical Oriental sounds and DKs.

How much does an Oriental keyboard cost?
