The Percussion category here includes all of the electronic instruments and modules designed to create rhythmic and percussive drum beats & sounds rather than melodic or harmonic tones. This includes drum machines, percussion synth voices, sample-based units, trigger pads, and modular percussion modules used to build beats, grooves, and rhythmic textures.
Percussion gear is central to electronic and modern music production, providing everything from classic drum sounds to experimental rhythms and textures. These instruments are commonly used in studio and live setups alongside synths, samplers, and sequencers, forming the rhythmic backbone of electronic, techno, hip-hop, ambient, and experimental music.

Cables are used to connect instruments, controllers, and equipment so that audio, control signals, and data can be transmitted reliably. They are essential for routing sound, synchronising devices, and enabling communication between hardware. For example, cables are used to connect a synthesiser to speakers, link devices via MIDI or USB, or patch modules together in a modular system.
A synth is an electronic instrument that creates sound through electronic signal generation and shaping. It is used to produce basses, leads, pads, textures, and effects by controlling oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation. Synths are central to electronic music and modern production, offering flexible sound design for both studio work and live performance.
A synthesizer is an electronic instrument that generates and shapes sound using oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation sources. It allows sounds to be created from scratch, altered in real time, and controlled through keys, sequencers, or external controllers. Synthesizers are used to produce everything from basses and leads to pads, textures, and experimental sound design in both studio production and live performance.
Synth for Sale has over 1000 used synths and gear like that for sale. We bring these products to you via our trusted partners, retailers and direct with independent sellers in the UK.
A voice is a single complete sound path within an instrument, typically made up of an oscillator, filter, amplifier, and modulation. It determines how many notes can be played at once and how each note is shaped. For example, an instrument with multiple voices can play chords and layered parts, while each voice handles the sound of one note independently.
