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.

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.

Launchkey

Launchkey is a MIDI keyboard controller range designed for hands-on music creation and software control. It is used to play notes, trigger clips, control instruments, and adjust parameters directly from the keyboard using keys, pads, knobs, and faders. For example, a Launchkey can be used to control a software synth, play drum patterns on the pads, and manipulate filters or effects in real time while building and performing a track.

MIDI

MIDI is a digital control standard used to transmit performance and control data between electronic instruments, computers, and hardware devices. It carries information such as note data, velocity, timing, and parameter changes rather than audio, allowing instruments and software to communicate, stay in sync, and control each other. MIDI is fundamental to modern music production, sequencing, and live performance setups.
