Pedal

A pedal, in the context of music, refers to a device that modifies the sound of an instrument, typically electric guitar or keyboards, by altering audio signals as they pass through it. Pedals can serve a variety of functions, including effects like distortion, reverb, delay, modulation, and compression. They are commonly used by musicians to enhance their sound, create unique audio textures, or achieve specific sonic qualities that would be difficult to produce with the instrument alone. Pedals are often housed in sturdy enclosures with footswitches that allow musicians to engage or disengage effects during performance easily.

Pedals can be analogue or digital, with each type offering different characteristics and qualities. Analog pedals, for example, often provide warm and rich tonalities due to their continuous signal processing, while digital pedals can emulate a wide range of effects and often include more advanced features, such as presets and programmable settings. Many musicians use multiple pedals in a “pedalboard” setup, connecting them in series to create complex soundscapes. With their versatility and ability to transform an instrument’s tone, pedals have become essential tools for performers and composers across various genres, from rock and jazz to electronic and ambient music.

Pianos and Keyboards

From expressive stage pianos to versatile MIDI controllers and classic electric keyboards, this category brings together everything you need to play, perform, and produce. Whether you’re after the weighted feel of hammer-action keys, the vintage charm of a Rhodes-style sound, or a compact keyboard to control your synth rig, you’ll find something here to suit your playing style. Ideal for both studio work and live performance, these instruments offer tactile connection and musical freedom across genres — from ambient textures to punchy techno stabs and everything in between.

Sustain

Sustain refers to the duration a sound is held after the initial attack and decay phases, and it is one of the key stages in a synthesizer’s ADSR envelope (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release). When a note is played on a synth, the sustain level determines how long the sound remains at a consistent volume while the key is being held down. Unlike attack and decay, which are measured in time, sustain is a level—essentially the steady volume that a sound maintains until the key is released. For instance, if the sustain is set high, the note will continue to sound loudly; if it’s set low, the sound will drop to a softer volume.

The concept of sustain is essential for shaping how a sound behaves over time. In musical contexts, sustain allows for the emulation of acoustic instruments like strings or organs, where notes can be held continuously at a certain volume. It is also useful for creating pads, drones, or long atmospheric sounds. Adjusting the sustain level can drastically change the character of a sound—keeping it high can give a sense of continuity or smoothness, while lowering it can make the sound more percussive or short-lived. By creatively manipulating sustain within an ADSR envelope, musicians can achieve greater expressiveness and variety in their synthesizer patches.
