Akai

Akai, a Japanese company, made their biggest impact with the MPC series of samplers. The MPC revolutionised hip hop, R&B, and beat-driven music. Modern Akai still make powerful MPC units that combine standalone hardware with DAW integration. They also produce popular controllers like the MPK series. If sampling and beatmaking is your world, Akai’s legacy and present-day gear are second to none.

Keyboards

Keyboards are versatile electronic instruments used for learning, songwriting, production and live performance. They range from simple, portable models with built-in sounds to more advanced instruments designed for studio and stage use. If you want an accessible way to explore music across many styles, keyboards offer flexibility, convenience and creative freedom.

MIDI Controller

MIDI controllers are essential tools for modern music production, giving you hands-on control over software instruments, effects and recording setups. Available in a range of formats including keyboards, pad controllers and control surfaces, they allow you to interact with your music in a more intuitive and expressive way.

What makes MIDI controllers so useful is their flexibility. They don’t produce sound on their own, but instead control virtual instruments and hardware, letting you shape melodies, trigger samples and adjust parameters in real time. With features like pads, knobs, faders and keys, they help bring your ideas to life quickly and efficiently.

MIDI controllers are simply great — versatile, practical and highly creative. Whether you’re producing in the studio or performing live, they offer a powerful way to control your setup and unlock new possibilities, and you will not be disappointed.

CV

CV is control voltage used to transmit continuous electrical signals between electronic instruments and modules. It allows parameters such as pitch, filter cutoff, amplitude, and modulation to be controlled in a fluid, analogue manner. CV is fundamental to modular and semi-modular systems, enabling direct, real-time interaction between sound sources, controllers, and processors.

Polyphonic

Polyphonic is the ability to play multiple notes at the same time. Polyphonic instruments allow chords, layered harmonies, and complex musical passages, making them suitable for pads, harmonic textures, and expressive performance.

Sequencer

A sequencer is a tool used to record, arrange, and play back musical events in a defined order. It allows notes, rhythms, and parameter changes to be programmed step by step or recorded in real time, creating structured patterns and loops. Sequencers are used to keep multiple instruments in sync, build evolving arrangements, and automate movement within a sound. For example, a sequencer might be used to create a repeating bass pattern while gradually changing filter or modulation values to add variation over time.
