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.

Synths

Synths are electronic instruments designed for creating and shaping sound, from classic analogue-style tones to modern digital textures. Used for basslines, leads, pads and experimental sound design, they play a central role in many styles of music. If you enjoy hands-on creativity and exploring new sonic ideas, synths offer a powerful and expressive way to make music.

Analog

Analogue is sound generation based on physical electronic circuits such as oscillators, filters, and amplifiers rather than digital processing. It produces continuously variable signals with natural drift, saturation, and harmonic character, giving sounds a distinctive warmth and movement. Analogue instruments are valued for their hands-on control, immediacy, and expressive response in both studio and live performance environments.

Desktop

Desktop refers to instruments designed for tabletop or studio use rather than keyboard-based performance. Desktop units are compact, self-contained devices controlled via knobs, buttons, sequencers, or external controllers, making them ideal for studio workflows and modular setups.

Drum

Drum covers electronic drum machines and rhythm instruments used to create beats, patterns, and percussive sequences. These instruments allow sounds to be programmed, synthesised, sampled, and triggered in real time, often with step sequencers, performance pads, and hands-on controls. They are central to electronic music production and live performance, providing tight timing, repeatable grooves, and creative control over rhythm, dynamics, and texture.

Drum Machine

A drum machine is an electronic instrument designed to create and sequence rhythmic patterns and percussion sounds. It is used to program beats, build grooves, and perform rhythms with precise timing and hands-on control. For example, a drum machine might be used to create a repeating rhythm for a live set or to sketch the foundation of a track before adding melodic and harmonic elements.

Modular

Modular is a synthesis format made up of separate, interchangeable modules that are patched together to create custom signal paths. It allows complete freedom over sound design, sequencing, and modulation, with each system built to suit the user’s workflow and creative approach.

Semi-Modular

Semi-modular is an instrument design that combines a pre-wired internal signal path with the option to reroute and expand using patch connections. It is used to provide immediate, playable sound while still allowing deeper experimentation through external modulation and signal routing. For example, a semi-modular instrument can be played straight away as a complete synth, then patched into other modules or controllers to explore more complex sound design.

Synths

Synths are electronic instruments used to create and shape sound using oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation. They are used to produce basses, leads, pads, and textures that cannot be created easily with traditional instruments. For example, a synth might be used to design a deep bass line that evolves over time or a wide pad sound that fills space and adds atmosphere to a track.
