Arturia

Arturia makes software and hardware for synthesis, keyboards and electronic production. Its SynthForSale range spans the PolyBrute, DrumBrute, KeyLab and KeyStep families, combining analogue or digital sound engines with performance controls and MIDI/USB integration. The brand covers both expressive instruments and controllers, so model details matter: a KeyLab is primarily a keyboard controller, while PolyBrute and DrumBrute generate sound. Arturia is a useful choice for players wanting modern workflows with clear links to classic synthesis techniques.

Synthesizers

Explore hardware synthesisers for sound design, performance and music production. This collection includes analogue, digital, hybrid, FM and wavetable instruments in keyboard, desktop and modular formats. Compare the synthesis method, polyphony, keybed, sequencer, effects and MIDI or CV connectivity to find an instrument that fits your studio, live setup and preferred way of creating sounds.

Tags

Analog

Products using analogue sound-generation or signal-processing circuitry, also commonly written as analog. Analogue instruments shape continuously varying electrical signals and are often chosen for direct controls, natural variation and a character that responds organically to performance and modulation.

Digital

Products using digital sound generation, processing or control. Digital instruments can offer precise recall, extensive polyphony, sampling and complex synthesis methods, often combining a wide tonal range with compact hardware and flexible modulation.

Hybrid

Instruments combining analogue and digital sound generation, control or processing. A hybrid design may pair digital oscillators or control with analogue filters and signal paths, aiming to provide modern flexibility alongside the behaviour of analogue circuitry.

Sequencer

Products with dedicated note, rhythm, MIDI or control-voltage sequencing capabilities. A sequencer records or generates musical events and sends them to internal sounds or connected instruments, often providing step programming, pattern chaining and performance controls.

Synth

Products centred on electronic sound generation and synthesis. This tag brings together keyboard, desktop, modular and performance instruments that create or substantially shape their own sounds rather than serving only as controllers.
