49-Key

A 49-key instrument offers a balanced keyboard size that supports expressive playing while remaining manageable in size. It provides enough range for two-handed performance, chord work, and melodic lines without the bulk of a full-sized keyboard. For example, a 49-key synthesiser is often used in studios and live setups where versatility and portability are equally important.

Controller

A controller is a device designed to control electronic instruments, software, and hardware without generating sound on its own. It sends performance and control data, allowing parameters such as notes, velocity, modulation, and automation to be played or adjusted in real time. Controllers are central to hands-on workflow, enabling expressive control in both studio production and live performance.

Keyboard

Keyboard refers to electronic keyboards used for playing, composing, and performing music, ranging from simple digital keyboards to advanced synthesizer-based instruments. On SynthForSale, keyboards include instruments designed for studio production, live performance, and home use, often featuring velocity-sensitive keys, built-in sounds, MIDI connectivity, and integration with computers and other hardware. They are commonly used across electronic, pop, ambient, film, and experimental music, and can function as standalone instruments or as controllers for software and modular setups.
