Yamaha, based in Japan, is one of the world’s most respected instrument makers. They changed the game with the DX7 in the 1980s, pioneering FM synthesis that defined the sound of a decade. Today they continue with powerful workstations like Montage and MODX, plus digital pianos found on stages everywhere. Yamaha gear is known for reliability, road-readiness and excellent support. For musicians who want long-lasting instruments that still inspire creativity, Yamaha remains a top choice.

Digital is sound generation and processing based on digital signal processing rather than analogue circuitry. It is used for precise control, stable tuning, patch memory, and complex sound design that would be difficult to achieve with purely analogue systems. For example, a digital instrument might be used to create detailed evolving textures or realistic emulations while storing and recalling complete sound setups instantly.
Drum covers electronic drum machines and rhythm instruments used to create beats, patterns, and percussive sequences. These instruments allow sounds to be programmed, synthesised, sampled, and triggered in real time, often with step sequencers, performance pads, and hands-on controls. They are central to electronic music production and live performance, providing tight timing, repeatable grooves, and creative control over rhythm, dynamics, and texture.
A drum machine is an electronic instrument designed to create and sequence rhythmic patterns and percussion sounds. It is used to program beats, build grooves, and perform rhythms with precise timing and hands-on control. For example, a drum machine might be used to create a repeating rhythm for a live set or to sketch the foundation of a track before adding melodic and harmonic elements.
